Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled "Advanced Control and Monitoring Systems in Automotive Power Electronics" seeks to investigate the latest advancements in control and monitoring technologies that are reshaping the field of automotive power electronics. As the automotive industry moves increasingly towards electrification and automation, the integration of advanced control systems and monitoring solutions has become essential to enhancing vehicle performance, safety, and reliability.
The automotive sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and autonomous driving technologies. These developments demand innovative approaches to power electronics, which are crucial for managing energy conversion, storage, and distribution within vehicles. This Special Issue will address a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advanced Control Strategies: An exploration of novel control algorithms designed to improve the efficiency levels and performances of power electronic converters and motor drives. This includes model predictive control, adaptive control, and robust control techniques tailored for automotive applications.
- Real-Time Monitoring Systems: A discussion on the implementation of real-time monitoring frameworks that utilize advanced sensors and data analytics to ensure optimal operation of power electronics systems. Topics include health monitoring, fault detection, and predictive maintenance strategies aimed at enhancing system reliability.
- Integration of AI and Machine Learning: An examination of how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques can be leveraged to optimize control strategies and improve monitoring capabilities in automotive power electronics.
- Energy Management Systems: Insights into intelligent energy management solutions designed to optimize energy consumption in electric and hybrid vehicles. This includes strategies for battery management, regenerative braking systems, and integration with renewable energy sources.
- Safety and Cybersecurity: A focus on the challenges related to safety and cybersecurity in automotive power electronics, particularly as vehicles become more interconnected and dependent on software-defined systems.
- Case Studies and Practical Applications: The presentation of case studies showcasing successful implementations of advanced control and monitoring systems in real-world automotive applications, demonstrating their impacts on performance improvements and operational efficiency.
Through this Special Issue, we will gather original research articles, review papers, and case studies that advance our shared understanding of advanced control and monitoring systems in automotive power electronics. We invite researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to contribute their findings to help us to shape the future of automotive technology in this rapidly evolving field.
