Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement in battery technologies have propelled the evolution of new energy vehicles, e.g., Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) for the automotive industry. Due to the intricate nature of different power sources, it is imperative to develop effective battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) and design effective control systems to shift between potential operating modes. Thus, this Special Issue encourages researchers working in this field to share their latest developments in emerging battery management technologies and control systems to improve the EVs’ efficiency and safety.

This review explores recent advancements in electric vehicles (EVs), focusing on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in battery management systems (BMSs) and system control technologies. While EVs are integral to sustainable transportation, challenges remain in optimising battery longevity, energy efficiency, and safety. AI-driven techniques—such as machine learning (ML), neural networks (NNs), and reinforcement learning (RL)—enhance battery state of health (SOH) and state of charge (SOC) predictions, as well as temperature regulation, offering superior accuracy over traditional methods. Additionally, AI-powered control frameworks optimise energy distribution, regenerative braking, and power allocation under varying driving conditions. Deep RL enables adaptive, self-learning capabilities that improve energy efficiency and extend battery life, even in dynamic environments. This review also examines the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics in EV systems, enabling predictive maintenance and fleet-level optimisation. By analysing these advancements, this paper highlights AI’s pivotal role in shaping next-generation, energy-efficient EVs. Full article

In the current era of energy conservation and emission reduction, the development of electric and other new energy vehicles is booming. With their various attributes, lithium batteries have become the ideal power source for new energy vehicles. However, lithium-ion batteries are highly sensitive to temperature changes. Excessive temperatures, either high or low, can lead to abnormal operation of the batteries, posing a threat to the safety of the entire vehicle. Therefore, developing a reliable and efficient Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) that can monitor battery status and prevent thermal runaway is becoming increasingly important. In recent years, deep learning has gradually become widely applied in various fields as an efficient method, and it has also been applied to some extent in the development of BTMS. In this work, we discuss the basic principles of deep learning and related optimization principles and elaborate on the algorithmic principles, frameworks, and applications of various advanced deep learning methods in BTMS. We also discuss several emerging deep learning algorithms proposed in recent years, their principles, and their feasibility in BTMS applications. Finally, we discuss the obstacles faced by various deep learning algorithms in the development of BTMS and potential directions for development, proposing some ideas for progress. This paper aims to analyze the advanced deep learning technologies commonly used in BTMS and some emerging deep learning technologies and provide new insights into the current combination of deep learning technology in new energy trams to assist the development of BTMS.
