Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid evolution of electric vehicles, distributed renewable energy, and decentralized energy systems, there is a growing demand for intelligent solutions that enhance stability, efficiency, and resilience. This Special Issue seeks high-quality submissions focused on the modeling, control, and real-world application of intelligent energy and predictive systems for sustainable technological advancement.

A key topic is the accurate estimation of a battery’s state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH), essential for ensuring safety and extending battery lifespan. Contributions are invited on fault diagnosis, battery aging modeling, and electrochemical analysis techniques, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which enable real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

We also welcome innovative works on battery management system (BMS) architecture and implementation, including cell balancing, system-level optimization, and integration into hybrid or renewable-based power platforms. Of growing importance are smart chargers and wireless charging systems, which support dynamic power control, adaptive charging protocols, and user- or grid-oriented strategies. These smart charging solutions play a vital role in enabling safe, rapid, and efficient charging for both stationary energy storage systems and electric mobility platforms while also enhancing interoperability in IoT-connected infrastructures.

Moreover, contributions on renewable energy systems and photovoltaic (PV) integration, especially under fluctuating environmental conditions and hybrid configurations, are encouraged.

In parallel, the rise in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) opens up new possibilities in energy system optimization, health monitoring, and environmental forecasting. Submissions that explore predictive models and algorithms applied to energy control, healthcare diagnostics, and smart environmental systems are particularly relevant. Studies that integrate computer science, image processing, or intelligent sensors into energy or health-focused applications are also highly valued.

  • SOC and SOH estimation.
  • Fault diagnosis and battery aging modeling.
  • BMS architecture and implementation.
  • Charging algorithms and wireless charger and smart charger development.
  • Renewable energy systems and PV integration.
  • Applications of AI, machine learning, and deep learning in energy, health, and environmental prediction.
  • Computer science and engineering and image processing.
  • We welcome contributions that bridge theory and real-world application for sustainable and human-centered technological development.

Cruciferous vegetables are popular in Asian dishes. However, striped flea beetles prefer to feed on leaves, which can damage the appearance of crops and reduce their economic value. Due to the lack of pest monitoring, the occurrence of pests is often irregular and unpredictable. Regular and quantitative spraying of pesticides for pest control is an alternative method. Nevertheless, this requires manual execution and is inefficient. This paper presents a system powered by solar energy, utilizing batteries and supercapacitors for energy storage to support the implementation of edge AI devices in outdoor environments. Raspberry Pi is utilized for artificial intelligence image recognition and the Internet of Things (IoT). YOLOv5 is implemented on the edge device, Raspberry Pi, for detecting striped flea beetles, and StyleGAN3 is also utilized for data augmentation in the proposed system. The recognition accuracy reaches 85.4%, and the results are transmitted to the server through a 4G network. The experimental results indicate that the system can operate effectively for an extended period. This system enhances sustainability and reliability and greatly improves the practicality of deploying smart pest detection technology in remote or resource-limited agricultural areas. In subsequent applications, drones can plan routes for pesticide spraying based on the distribution of pests. Full article
