Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the popularity of renewable energy and the rapid development of electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems are becoming a key technology in improving the instability of energy storage and supply systems. For each type of battery technology, there are advantages and disadvantages in their application potentials. This Special Issue focuses on the design and optimization of battery components, control strategies and battery thermal management, battery modularization, management systems, and system integration, all of which are important for improving the performance and reliability of the system. Key technologies, such as battery charging control strategies, energy management systems, and intelligent control technologies, are also important areas in achieving efficient operation and management of battery energy storage systems. In addition, this Special Issue will also focus on battery thermal management system design and optimization methods, including thermal design, liquid/air cooling systems, and phase change materials technology, to effectively control the battery temperature and improve the stability and safety of the system.

Therefore, scholars are encouraged to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue on these themes, including design experiments for battery systems, simulation optimization studies for control strategies and system integration, and novel research on battery thermal management. Authors are also encouraged to consider submitting performance studies for thermal runaway batteries to address potential future challenges.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions that present experience of dealing with such challenges or identifying new ones. The subjects to be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The design, modeling, and optimization of battery energy storage systems;
  • Thermal management techniques and thermal stability improvements;
  • Battery thermal effect analysis and control strategies;
  • The reliability, safety, and durability of battery system;
  • Novel materials, designs, and applications of battery thermal management systems;
  • Forecasting, monitoring, and coping strategies for thermal runaway events.

This paper conducts an in-depth study on the application of inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filters in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverters. First, the resonance issues associated with LCL filters are analyzed, and solutions are discussed, with a focus on the implementation of passive damping strategies. Various passive damping schemes, based on the placement of resistors (R), are compared and analyzed, ultimately selecting the capacitor branch series resistor as the optimal solution. During the design process, multiple parameters, such as total inductance, inverter-side inductance, grid-side inductance, capacitance, and damping resistors, are considered in light of their mutual constraints. Detailed analysis and optimization of these parameters are performed based on steady-state operation, current ripple, and power loss limitations. Finally, it is concluded that the passive damping solution using a series resistor in the capacitor branch meets the requirements for stable operation and efficient filtering. The optimal solutions are identified as R1 = 0, R2 = ∞, R3 ≠ 0, and R4 = ∞, providing a reliable and effective filtering solution for grid-connected PV inverter systems. Full article

The precise estimation of the state of charge (SOC) in lithium batteries is crucial for enhancing their operational lifespan. To address the issue of reduced accuracy in SOC estimation caused by the random missing values of lithium battery current measurements, a joint estimation method which combines recursive least squares with missing input data (MIDRLS) and the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm is proposed, called the MIDRLS-UKF algorithm. Firstly, the equivalent circuit model of a Thevenin battery is formulated. Then, the current imputation model is designed to interpolate the missing data, based on which the MIDRLS algorithm is derived by solving the unbiased estimation of the gradient of the objective function, thus realizing the online high-precision identification of the circuit model parameters. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is combined with the UKF algorithm to facilitate the online precise estimation of SOC. The simulation results indicate a marked decrease in the SOC estimation error when employing the proposed joint algorithm, as opposed to the conventional forgetting factor recursive least squares (FFRLS) algorithm combined with the UKF joint estimation algorithm, which verifies the precision and effectiveness of the proposed joint algorithm.
