Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The design of battery management systems has become a hot topic in research due to its numerous applications, e.g., in electric vehicles and portable electronics. Battery management systems should be efficient, reliable, accurate, and cost-effective. They must also be capable of estimating battery states, such as state of charge, state of life, state of health, state of power, etc., while accurately predicting the remaining useful life of a battery with sufficient notice so as to avoid degraded performance, operational impairment, or total failure. These demands represent many different research challenges faced in battery management system design, and the basic aim of this Special Issue is to provide the platform to share the latest findings on this subject (either research or review articles).

Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  • Battery modeling to estimate the online state of charge, state of heath, and state of function;
  • Optimal battery charging strategy;
  • Remaining useful life prediction;
  • Application of machine learning in battery management system;
  • Battery aging and degradation;
  • Hybrid energy storage systems, such as battery and supercapacitor

Abstract
The microgrids operate in tie-up (TU) mode with the main grid normally, and operate in isolation (IN) mode without the main grid during faults. In a dynamic operational regime, protecting the microgrids is highly challenging. This article proposes a new microgrid protection scheme [...] Read more.
The microgrids operate in tie-up (TU) mode with the main grid normally, and operate in isolation (IN) mode without the main grid during faults. In a dynamic operational regime, protecting the microgrids is highly challenging. This article proposes a new microgrid protection scheme based on a state observer (SO) aided by a recurrent neural network (RNN). Initially, the particle filter (PF) serves as a SO to estimate the measured current/voltage signals from the corresponding bus. Then, a natural log of the difference between the estimated and measured current signal is taken to estimate the per-phase particle filter deviation (PFD). If the PFD of any single phase exceeds the preset threshold limit, the proposed scheme successfully detects and classifies the faults. Finally, the RNN is implemented on the SO-estimated voltage and current signals to retrieve the non-fundamental harmonic features, which are then utilized to compute RNN-based state observation energy (SOE). The directional attributes of the RNN-based SOE are employed for the localization of faults in a microgrid. The scheme is tested using Matlab® Simulink 2022b on an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) microgrid test bed. The results indicate the efficacy of the proposed method in the TU and IN operation regimes on radial, loop, and meshed networks. Furthermore, the scheme can detect both high-impedance (HI) and low-impedance (LI) faults with 99.6% of accuracy. Full article
