Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The increased growth of simulation-driven development of electric vehicles, tending to aggressively conquer the automotive industry, requires continuous improvements in skills and knowledge, and the seeking of new solutions on both the theoretical and experimental sides of the analysis. Narrowing down the horizon to the interest of this Special Issue, modelling and simulation of batteries, super-capacitors or hybrid energy storage solutions are to be presented, underlining their applicability and link to experimental analysis, due to which they are proving to be lucrative industrial tools. Using, as a base line, the actual status of research, future perspectives materialized through the genuine modelling, simulation and experimental analysis-based approaches of EV energy storage units are the hot topic of the present Special Issue. Such studies are difficult to separate from power electronics and their control; hence, complete solutions are more than welcome for inclusion. In addition, advanced models, wise solutions, intelligent parameters’ identification, self-learning algorithms, cell monitoring or other genuine applications are of interest in the present issue.

The foreseen topics of this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to:

- EV battery modelling and simulation (electrical and thermal perspectives);

- Battery cell parameters’ identification solutions;

- Low loss and low cost cell voltage equalizer solutions;

- Supercapacitors’ analytical simulation algorithms and parameters’ identification;

- Battery and supercapacitor hybrid storage solutions;

- Power electronics and their control in relation to energy storage;

- Energy management system for batteries or hybrid storage systems;

- State of health estimation for energy storage systems;

- Optimal sizing of energy storage systems.

With regard to safety, efficiency and lifetime of battery systems, the thermal behavior of battery cells is of great interest. The use of models describing the thermoelectric behavior of battery cells improves the understanding of heat generation mechanisms and enables the development of optimized thermal management systems. In this work, a novel experimental approach is presented to determine both the irreversible heat due to ohmic losses and the reversible heat due to entropy changes directly via heat flow measurements. No additional information about thermal properties of the battery cell, such as heat capacity or thermal conductivity, are required. Thus, the exothermic and endothermic nature of reversible heat generated in a complete charge/discharge cycle can be investigated. Moreover, the results of the proposed method can potentially be used to provide an additional constraint during the identification process of the equivalent circuit model parameters. The described method is applied to a 23 Ah lithium titanate cell and the corresponding results are presented. Full article
