Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of battery technologies is crucial for advancing renewable energy, electric vehicles, and portable electronics. This Special Issue invites contributions addressing critical challenges in battery modeling at both the cell and pack levels, controlling high-voltage battery packs or hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) for e-mobility and stationary applications, as well as developing diagnostic algorithms oriented to performance maximization and safety. We encourage submissions that propose innovative approaches, including artificial intelligence (AI), advanced sensors and behavioral modeling, to improve battery lifecycle management and sustainability.
Topics of interest include models used for SoX estimation and the prediction of remaining useful life (RUL), optimized characterization procedures for model calibration, thermal management strategies for improved efficiency, and solutions for recycling and second-life applications. Emphasis will also be placed on the integration of batteries in HESSs, real-time diagnostics using innovative sensors, and scalable manufacturing techniques.
Expected submission topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modeling of battery behavior at cell and pack levels;
- Optimized characterization procedures for battery modeling;
- Control strategies for high-voltage battery packs or HESS;
- Integration of batteries within HESS;
- Diagnostic algorithms for performance maximization and safety;
- Advanced SoX estimation and RUL prediction techniques;
- Thermal management solutions for battery systems;
- Advanced sensors for real-time battery diagnostics;
- AI-driven battery management systems;
- Battery aging mechanisms and mitigation strategies;
- Innovations in battery recycling and second-life applications;
- Sustainable manufacturing and material innovations;
- Policy and economic perspectives on battery circularity.
