Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of electric vehicles (EVs) is reshaping the automotive industry, accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Central to this evolution is the Energy Management System (EMS), a crucial component that optimizes the use of energy within the vehicle, ensuring the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of the energy storage and powertrain components.
An effective EMS is essential for managing the complex interactions between the battery, electric motor, and other vehicle systems. It balances energy supply and demand, manages thermal conditions, and extends the overall range and lifespan of the vehicle. However, as the demand for longer driving ranges, faster charging times, and higher safety standards grows, EMS technology faces new challenges and must evolve to meet these demands.
This Special Issue will present and disseminate the latest advancements in the theory, design, modeling, application, and control of Energy Management Systems for electric vehicles. We invite researchers and practitioners to share their most recent findings, addressing both the current challenges and future trends that will shape the development of EMS technology.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advances in energy optimization algorithms for EVs;
- Integration of renewable energy sources with EMS in EVs;
- Thermal management strategies in EMSs;
- Real-time energy management and control systems;
- EMS for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs);
- Predictive energy management techniques using AI and machine learning;
- Impact of new battery chemistries on EMS design and operation;
- Energy management in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems;
- EMS cybersecurity and data management;
- EMS standardization and regulatory challenges;
- Hardware and software co-design for EMS optimization;
- Safety and reliability assessments of EMS in EVs.
