Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are glad to extend a warm invitation to all colleagues who would like to submit their research papers to this Special Issue of Electronics, entitled “Battery Management Systems for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles Applications”.
Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PEVs) are considered to be a promising supporting technology for the long-awaited transition to more sustainable mobility systems, especially in urban areas. These kinds of vehicles have received great attention and popularity thanks to their potential for reducing environmental pollution and fossil fuel dependency.
Recent developments in energy storage technologies are supporting the increasing spread in the market of a new generation of PEVs, characterized by attractive costs and extended electric ranges, which meet most practical needs of vehicle owners. Safe and reliable use of these new storage technologies involves the development of proper battery management systems (BMSs) for controlling both the electric and thermal behavior of the on-board battery packs. That control is mainly related to cell voltage balancing, over-current protection, cell over/under voltage protection, and thermal management.
In the above context, the aim of this Special Issue is to address research topics related to BMS architecture and control algorithms. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Innovative power electronics architectures for active/passive cell balancing;
- SoC estimation algorithms;
- Battery thermal management;
- Management of battery charging/discharging operations;
- Implementation and testing of innovative management algorithms through HiL systems;
- All types of research approaches are equally acceptable: experimental, theoretical, computational, and combinations of any of these.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Clemente Capasso

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
