Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for later use. Researchers from the electrical, electrochemical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical fields, among others, have performed investigations on this theme due to the importance of the topic for modern life. The current need for technologies presents challenges in optimizing and developing efficient energy storage systems.

In recent times, machine learning models have started to stand out in many fields, including energy storage systems. The main representatives of this class are Artificial Neural Networks (deep and shallow approaches), Fuzzy Systems, and nature-inspired metaheuristics (Swarm Intelligence, Evolutionary algorithms, and physical models).

In this regard, this Special Issue aims to encourage both academic and industrial researchers to present their latest findings concerning the previously cited aspects, which can significantly contribute to the achievement of new methods to develop processes or devices to improve the usage of such systems.

The authors should provide a comprehensive and scientifically sound overview of the most recent research and methodological approaches. Both experimental and methodological contributions are welcome.

The accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (RUL) of Li-ion batteries holds significant importance in the field of predictive maintenance, as it ensures the reliability and long-term viability of these batteries. In this study, we undertake a comprehensive analysis and comparison of three distinct machine learning models—XDFM, A-LSTM, and GBM—with the objective of assessing their predictive capabilities for RUL estimation. The performance evaluation of these models involves the utilization of root-mean-square error and mean absolute error metrics, which are derived after the training and testing stages of the models. Additionally, we employ the Shapley-based Explainable AI technique to identify and select the most relevant features for the prediction task. Among the evaluated models, XDFM consistently demonstrates superior performance, consistently achieving the lowest RMSE and MAE values across different operational cycles and feature selections. However, it is worth noting that both the A-LSTM and GBM models exhibit competitive results, showcasing their potential for accurate RUL prediction of Li-ion batteries. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the efficacy of these machine learning models, highlighting their capacity to make precise RUL predictions across diverse operational cycles for batteries.

Recently, electric vehicles have gained enormous popularity due to their performance and efficiency. The investment in developing this new technology is justified by the increased awareness of the environmental impacts caused by combustion vehicles, such as greenhouse gas emissions, which have contributed to global warming and the depletion of oil reserves that are not renewable energy sources. Lithium-ion batteries are the most promising for electric vehicle (EV) applications. They have been widely used for their advantages, such as high energy density, many cycles, and low self-discharge. This work extensively investigates the main methods of estimating the state of charge (SoC) obtained through a literature review. A total of 109 relevant articles were found using the prism method. Some basic concepts of the state of health (SoH); a battery management system (BMS); and some models that can perform SoC estimation are presented. Challenges encountered in this task are discussed, such as the nonlinear characteristics of lithium-ion batteries that must be considered in the algorithms applied to the BMS. Thus, the set of concepts examined in this review supports the need to evolve the devices and develop new methods for estimating the SoC, which is increasingly more accurate and faster. This review shows that these tools tend to be continuously more dependent on artificial intelligence methods, especially hybrid algorithms, which require less training time and low computational cost, delivering real-time information to embedded systems.
