Technology and Approaches of Battery Energy Storage System

Dear Colleagues,

With the popularity of renewable energy and the rapid development of electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems are becoming a key technology in improving the instability of energy storage and supply systems. For each type of battery technology, there are advantages and disadvantages in their application potentials. This Special Issue focuses on the design and optimization of battery components, control strategies and battery thermal management, battery modularization, management systems, and system integration, all of which are important for improving the performance and reliability of the system. Key technologies, such as battery charging control strategies, energy management systems, and intelligent control technologies, are also important areas in achieving efficient operation and management of battery energy storage systems. In addition, this Special Issue will also focus on battery thermal management system design and optimization methods, including thermal design, liquid/air cooling systems, and phase change materials technology, to effectively control the battery temperature and improve the stability and safety of the system.

Therefore, scholars are encouraged to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue on these themes, including design experiments for battery systems, simulation optimization studies for control strategies and system integration, and novel research on battery thermal management. Authors are also encouraged to consider submitting performance studies for thermal runaway batteries to address potential future challenges.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions that present experience of dealing with such challenges or identifying new ones. The subjects to be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The design, modeling, and optimization of battery energy storage systems;
• Thermal management techniques and thermal stability improvements;
• Battery thermal effect analysis and control strategies;
• The reliability, safety, and durability of battery system;
• Novel materials, designs, and applications of battery thermal management systems;
• Forecasting, monitoring, and coping strategies for thermal runaway events.
