Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Energy Management and Control System of Electric Vehicles", delves into the vital innovations and technological advancements required to enhance the performance, efficiency, and sustainability of electric vehicles (EVs). As global concerns over fossil fuel dependence and carbon emissions continue to escalate, the adoption of EVs has emerged as a key component in the pursuit of cleaner, greener transportation. However, as EVs become increasingly popular, their energy management and control systems face unprecedented challenges, especially in achieving optimal energy utilization, extending battery life, and enhancing overall driving performance.
The core focus of this Special Issue is on advanced methodologies for managing energy consumption in EVs, including battery management systems (BMS), regenerative braking strategies, thermal management, and real-time energy distribution controls. Battery management, in particular, plays a pivotal role, as it is responsible for monitoring battery health, preventing overcharging or overheating, and maximizing lifespan. Furthermore, strategies like regenerative braking help to recuperate energy typically lost in braking, effectively increasing driving range and enhancing efficiency.
Another critical aspect covered is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in EV energy management systems. These technologies allow for the development of predictive models that optimize energy use by forecasting driving patterns, battery status, and environmental conditions. Control algorithms, powered by AI, can adapt to different driving modes, manage power distribution between the motor and other auxiliary systems, and improve EV range and efficiency.
This Special Issue also examines the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, with EV charging stations, aiming to reduce reliance on the traditional power grid. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is explored as a means to turn EVs into mobile energy storage units, providing power back to the grid during peak demand periods, which has the potential to stabilize grid loads and contribute to energy resilience.
As a whole, this Special Issue presents an in-depth view of the technologies and strategies that will be used to shape the future of EV energy management and control systems. With advancements in energy management algorithms, AI-driven control systems, and renewable energy integration, this Special Issue seeks to propel the field towards more robust, efficient, and sustainable EV solutions that will meet the demands of both modern drivers and an evolving energy landscape.
