The state of charge (SOC) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a pivotal metric within the battery management system (BMS) of electric vehicles (EVs). An accurate SOC is crucial to ensuring both the safety and the operational efficiency of a battery. The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a classic and commonly used method among the various SOC estimation algorithms. However, an unscented transform (UT) utilized in the algorithm struggles to completely simulate the probability density function of actual data. Additionally, inaccuracies in the identification of battery model parameters can lead to performance degradation or even the divergence of the algorithm in SOC estimation. To address these challenges, this study introduces a combined UKF-LSTM algorithm that integrates a long short-term memory (LSTM) network with the UKF for the precise SOC estimation of LIBs. Firstly, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was utilized to accurately identify the parameters of the battery model. Secondly, feature parameters that exhibited a high correlation with the estimation error of the UKF were selected to train an LSTM network, which was then combined with the UKF to establish the joint algorithm. Lastly, the effectiveness of the UKF-LSTM was confirmed under various conditions. The outcomes demonstrate that the average absolute error (MAE) and the root mean square error (RMSE) for the SOC estimation by the algorithm were less than 0.7%, indicating remarkable estimation accuracy and robustness.

This investigation provides an in-depth experimental analysis of the prepared artificial fault gouge material on permeability characteristics as a function of the confining pressures and injection flow rate pertinent to both CO2 storage and subsurface fluid flow that addresses an ultimate challenge in CO2 storage. The purpose of the research is to gain a better understanding of the role of fault gouge material in structuring fluid flow patterns within geological media and improving the safety and efficiency of subsurface storage systems. In order to ensure the reproducibility of the experimental program, fault gouge material that resembled the size distribution and material type observed in the field and reported within the literature was purposefully designed and prepared. A set of core-flooding experiments were conducted to evaluate the relationships between permeability, confining pressure, and fluid flow rates. The subsequently obtained results showed that lower permeability is always the result of increasing confining pressure, highlighting the significance of fault gouge material for controlling fluid flow in fractured rock formations. These conclusions provide novel insights and can be applicable in practice when evaluating the integrity of CO2 storage sites, which calls for knowledge of permeability behavior under high-stress conditions.

For the study of the trade-off between steady-state error and transient response in control systems for flywheel energy storage, a controller with a discrete variable gain is proposed. This controller aims to adapt to changes in the system state by dynamically adjusting the controller gain to optimize the system’s anti-disturbance performance. Theoretical analysis and mathematical derivation demonstrate that increasing the observer gain can significantly enhance the system’s anti-disturbance capability. However, this increase also results in overshooting, which highlights the limitations of traditional control methods in achieving both system stability and anti-disturbance performance. A discrete variable-gain extended state observer is designed. The gain of this observer can be adaptively adjusted according to a system state value, enabling the effective control of both steady-state error and transient response. Additionally, the stability of the proposed control method was analyzed and verified, ensuring its effectiveness and reliability for practical applications. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving system performance is demonstrated by simulation results. Full article

Global energy issues have spurred the development of energy storage technology, and gravity-based energy storage (GBES) technology has attracted much attention. This comprehensive review examines the principles, applications, and prospects of GBES technology, a promising solution for mitigating the intermittency of renewable energy sources and enhancing grid stability. GBES harnesses potential energy by elevating solid or liquid mediums, offering distinct advantages over other energy storage technologies such as pumped hydro storage and batteries. The study examines various GBES configurations, emphasizing the importance of system design, control strategies, and efficiency. This review also evaluates the economic, environmental, and social benefits of GBES, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness and potential for local economic growth. The need for policy support, technological innovation, and a robust regulatory framework is highlighted to promote the widespread adoption of GBES, which holds significant potential for enhancing grid stability and supporting the integration of renewable energy.
