Battery Prognostics and Health Management

Dear Colleagues,

Batteries play a vital role in many fields, such as mobile devices, electric vehicles, and smart grids. The efficient PHM (Prognostics and Health Management)  of batteries is crucial for maximizing their performance, lifespan, and safety. However, challenges persist in achieving precise, SoC and SoH estimation, fault diagnosis, and prognosis and health management due to factors like aging, temperature variations, and load profiles. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and some other new methods have shown great promise in advancing PHM by leveraging machine learning algorithms, data analytics, and predictive modeling.  This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research and developments in this field, showing efficient SoC and SoH estimation, PHM methods that exhibit good performance such as high accuracy, high robustness, and good generalization, etc. Through these methods, we hope to facilitate the advancement and development of battery PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) technology.

This Special Issue provides a platform to discuss novel algorithms, modeling techniques, experimental validations, and practical implementations related to PHM, and SoC and SoH estimation. Ultimately, the insights shared in this issue will contribute to enhancing the efficiency, durability, and sustainability of lithium-ion battery systems across various industries. Thus, we would like to encourage you to submit your original research articles and review articles to this Special Issue.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Battery performance and degradation modeling;
• Novel algorithms for PHM, SoC and SoH estimation;
• Data-driven and AI-driven applications;
• Real-time PHM for dynamic operating conditions;
• Physics-informed AI method for battery SoH estimation;
• Verification and validation of PHM algorithms;
• SoC and SoH estimation in battery management systems (BMS).
