Modeling, Control, and Optimization Technologies in Electric Drive Vehicles
Description
To address the two urgent issues nowadays of protecting the environment and achieving energy sustainability, it is of strategic importance on a global scale to replace oil-dependent vehicles with electric drive vehicles (EDVs). Numerical simulation and optimization are essential to simulate the actual hardware and minimize the development. Accurate and efficient modeling, control, and optimization technologies are indispensable tools.
This special issue invites articles on the state-of-the-art developments for modeling, control, and optimization approach of EDVs. This special issue covers circuits, components, and system-level modeling method for energy storage, power electronics, and electromechanical energy convertors in EDVs. Additionally, the articles on economic aspects for promoting the market penetration of EDVs are also welcome. We sincerely solicit original high-quality technical papers that are not under consideration by other publications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Systematic control and power management: system-level modeling, control, optimization, diagnostics, prognostics, reliability, power management, and health management technologies for electric vehicles
- Energy systems: component, circuit, and system-level modeling, estimation and optimization method for energy storage systems, including battery, fuel cell, ultracapacitor, and hybrid energy storage system, and design, control, and optimization of battery management system
- Batteries and grouping technology: advanced battery materials, battery degradation and mechanism, battery grouping technology, battery optimal charging method, cycling life’s prediction, and thermal modeling and management
- Traction motor system: electric motor, electric motor controller, regenerative braking, control strategy, and experiment technology
- Electric auxiliary parts: electric power steering, electric steering, electric braking, low-voltage DC/DC, and electric air conditioner
