With the proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) and the consequential increase in EV battery circulation, the need for accurate assessments of battery health and remaining useful life (RUL) is paramount, driven by environmentally friendly and sustainable goals. This study addresses this pressing concern by employing data-driven methods, specifically harnessing deep learning techniques to enhance RUL estimation for lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Leveraging the Toyota Research Institute Dataset, consisting of 124 lithium-ion batteries cycled to failure and encompassing key metrics such as capacity, temperature, resistance, and discharge time, our analysis substantially improves RUL prediction accuracy. Notably, the convolutional long short-term memory deep neural network (CLDNN) model and the transformer LSTM (temporal transformer) model have emerged as standout remaining useful life (RUL) predictors. The CLDNN model, in particular, achieved a remarkable mean absolute error (MAE) of 84.012 and a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 25.676. Similarly, the temporal transformer model exhibited a notable performance, with an MAE of 85.134 and a MAPE of 28.7932. These impressive results were achieved by applying Bayesian hyperparameter optimization, further enhancing the accuracy of predictive methods. These models were bench-marked against existing approaches, demonstrating superior results with an improvement in MAPE ranging from 4.01% to 7.12%. Full article

Innovative carbon reduction and sustainability solutions are needed to combat climate change. One promising approach towards cleaner air involves the utilization of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) and electric power vehicles, showcasing their potential as innovative tools for cleaner air. However, we must focus on the entire battery life cycle, starting with production. By prioritizing the efficiency and sustainability of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, we can take an essential step toward mitigating climate change and creating a healthier planet for future generations. A comprehensive case study of the leading LIB manufacturers demonstrates the usefulness of the suggested hybrid methodology. Initially, we utilized the Malmquist model to evaluate these firms’ total efficiency while dissecting their development into technical and technological efficiency change components. We employed the Epsilon-Based Measure (EBM) model to determine each organization’s efficiency and inefficiency scores. The findings show that the EBM approach successfully bridged the gap in the LIB industry landscape. Combined with the Malmquist model, the resulting framework offers a powerful and equitable evaluation paradigm that is easily applicable to any domain. Furthermore, it accurately identifies the top-performing organizations in specific aspects across the research period of 2018–2021. The EBM model demonstrates that most organizations have attained their top level, except for A10, which has superior technology adoption but poor management. A1, A2, A4, A6, A8, A9, and A10 were unable to meet their targets because of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite productivity improvements. A12 leads the three highest-scoring enterprises in efficiency and total productivity changes, while A3 and A5 should focus on innovative production techniques and improved management. The managerial implications provide vital direction for green energy practitioners, enhancing their operational effectiveness. Concurrently, consumers can identify the best LIB manufacturers, allowing them to invest in long-term green energy solutions confidently. Full article

The joint optimization of power systems, mobile energy storage systems (MESSs), and renewable energy involves complex constraints and numerous decision variables, and it is difficult to achieve optimization quickly through the use of commercial solvers, such as Gurobi and Cplex. To address this challenge, we present an effective joint optimization approach for MESSs and power grids that consider various renewable energy sources, including wind power (WP), photovoltaic (PV) power, and hydropower. The integration of MESSs could alleviate congestion, minimize renewable energy waste, fulfill unexpected energy demands, and lower the operational costs for power networks. To model the entire system, a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model was proposed that considered both the MESSs and the power grid, with the goal of minimizing costs. Furthermore, this research proposed a highly efficient deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based method to optimize route selection and charging/discharging operations. The efficacy of the proposed method was demonstrated through many numerical simulations. Full article
