Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing attention paid to environmental issues, “carbon neutrality” has become one of the policy goals of many countries and regions. The development of new energy vehicles and battery energy storage is of great significance for the control of carbon emissions. As a key component of new energy vehicles and energy storage systems, battery life and cost directly affect the life and economy of the whole system. Therefore, how to improve the reliability, durability and economy of the whole life cycle of the battery system has become an urgent scientific and major engineering problem.

This Special Issue will focus on battery energy storage and its health management system. Papers are invited in all different areas of battery health management, as battery energy storage is a multidisciplinary topic that involves research areas such as electrochemistry, materials, control, electrical and mechanical issues, as well as economic and environmental aspects. Both theoretical and experimental works, and, especially, the combination of these, are welcome. In recent years, the diagnosis of battery thermal runaway has attracted attention and encouraged scientists to explore new methods for the diagnosis of new physical quantities of battery thermal runaway.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Multi-physical field battery modeling (electrical, thermal, force, gas, etc.);
  • Battery degradation mechanism and modeling;
  • Battery thermal runaway mechanism and modeling;
  • Battery numerical calculation and simulation technology;
  • Battery states estimation algorithm (SOC, SOH, SOP, SOE, etc.);
  • Battery thermal runaway and fault diagnosis;
  • Battery life prediction and health management;
  • Battery reliability evaluation methods;
  • Battery charging control strategy;
  • Battery balancing control strategy;
  • Battery thermal management control strategy.

To meet the ever-growing worldwide electric vehicle demand, the development of advanced generations of lithium-ion batteries is required. To this end, modelling is one of the pillars for the innovation process. However, modelling batteries containing a large number of different mechanisms occurring at different scales remains a field of research that does not provide consensus for each particular model or approach. Parametrization as part of the modelling process appears to be one of the issues when it comes to building a high-fidelity model of a target cell. In this paper, a particular parameter identification is therefore discussed. Indeed, even if Butler–Volmer is a well-known equation in the electrochemistry field, identification of its reaction rate constant or exchange current density parameters is lacking in the literature. Thus, we discuss the process described in the literature and propose a new protocol that expects to overcome certain difficulties whereas the hypothesis of calculation and measurement maintains high sensitivity.

Aiming to solve the problems of insufficient dynamic responses, the large loss of energy storage life of a single power cell, and the large fluctuation in DC (direct current) bus voltage in fuel cell vessels, this study takes a certain type of fuel cell ferry as the research object and proposes an improved equivalent minimum hydrogen consumption energy management strategy, based on fuzzy logic control. First, a hybrid power system including a fuel cell, a lithium–iron–phosphate battery, and a supercapacitor is proposed, with the simulation of the power system of the modified mother ship. Second, a power system simulation model and a double-closed-loop PI (proportion integration) control model are established in MATLAB/Simulink to design the equivalent hydrogen consumption model and fuzzy logic control strategy. The simulation results show that, under the premise of meeting the load requirements, the control strategy designed in this paper improves the Li-ion battery’s power, the Li-ion battery’s SOC (state of charge), the bus voltage stability, and the equivalent hydrogen consumption significantly, compared with those before optimization, which improves the stability and economy of the power system and has certain practical engineering value.

To address the challenges of efficient state monitoring of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, a co-estimation algorithm of state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) is developed. The algorithm integrates techniques of adaptive recursive least squares and dual adaptive extended Kalman filtering to enhance robustness, mitigate data saturation, and reduce the impact of colored noise. At 25 °C, the algorithm is tested and verified under dynamic stress test (DST) and Beijing bus DST conditions. Under the Beijing bus DST condition, the algorithm achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.17% and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.19% for SOC estimation, with a convergence time of 4 s. Under the DST condition, the corresponding values are 0.05% for MAE, 0.07% for RMSE, and 5 s for convergence time. Moreover, in this research, the SOH is described as having internal resistance. Under the Beijing bus DST condition, the MAE and the RMSE of the estimated internal resistance of the proposed approach are 0.018% and 0.075%, with the corresponding values of 0.014% and 0.043% under the DST condition. The results of the experiments provide empirical evidence for the challenges associated with the efficacious estimation of SOC and SOH. Full article

Batteries are becoming highly important in automotive and power system applications. The lithium-ion battery, as the fastest growing energy storage technology today, has its specificities, and requires a good understanding of the operating characteristics in order to use it in full capacity. One such specificity is the dependence of the one-way charging/discharging efficiency on the charging/discharging current. This paper proposes a novel method for the determination of battery capacity based on experimental testing. The proposed method defines battery energy capacity as the energy actually stored in the battery, while accounting for both the charging and discharging losses. The experiments include one-way efficiency determination based on multiple cycles conducted under different operational and ambient conditions, the goal of which is to acquire the charging/discharging energies. The measured energies are corrected for one-way efficiencies to obtain values actually stored in a battery during charging or actually extracted from the battery during discharging. The proposed method is tested in a laboratory and compared against two existing baseline methods at different ambient temperatures. The results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the baseline methods in terms of the accuracy of the determined battery energy capacity and state-of-energy. The prime reason for the good performance of the proposed method is that it accounts for both the operational (efficiency) and the ambient (temperature) conditions. Full article

As lithium-ion battery (LIB) cells degrade over time and usage, it is crucial to understand their remaining capacity, also known as State of Health (SoH), and inconsistencies between cells in a pack, also known as cell-to-cell variation (CtCV), to appropriately operate and maintain LIB packs. This study outlines efforts to model pack SoH and SoH CtCV of nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery packs consisting of four cells in series using pack-level voltage data. Using small training data sets and rapid testing procedures, partial least squares regression (PLS) models were built and achieved a mean absolute error of 0.38% and 1.43% pack SoH for the NCA and LFP packs, respectively. PLS models were also built that correctly categorized the packs as having low, medium, and high-ranked SoH CtCV 72.5% and 65% of the time for the NCA and LFP packs, respectively. This study further investigates the relationships between pack SoH, SoH CtCV, and the voltage response of the NCA and LFP packs. The slope of the discharge voltage response of the NCA packs was shown to have a strong correlation with pack dynamics and pack SoH, and the lowest SoH cell within the NCA packs was shown to dominate the dynamic response of the entire pack.
