Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Batteries have been widely used as important energy storage components in many applications, such as portable electronics, electrical/hybrid transportations, smart grids, etc. It is estimated that the global lithium-ion battery market will exceed USD 100 billion by 2025. In addition to tremendous progress being made in relation to battery materials, development of efficient, reliable, and low-cost battery management systems (BMSs) has been an emerging and challenging research topic in recent years. The study of power battery management system is closely related with symmetry. For example, the topology and control algorithm of battery balancing system are inherently symmetric, and the study of symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in the battery pack level is a significant issue. The use of intelligent BMSs can effectively facilitate battery operation in the high-efficient region and significantly improve the fault-tolerant characteristic of the system. The key technologies of BMSs include battery modeling, state estimation, cycle life prediction, fault prognosis and diagnosis, balancing control, charging control, heating technology at low temperatures, etc.

This Special Issue will provide a platform for presenting the latest research results on the technology development of intelligent BMSs. It is within the subject area of Computer Science, Theory and Methods in Symmetry. We welcome research papers about theoretical and applied studies, as well as review papers. Manuscripts from cross-disciplinary fields, such as battery electrochemistry, power electronics, control technology, as well as symmetrically algorithmic and hardware design, which can provide timely and effective solutions for emerging challenges in the intelligent BMS, are strongly encouraged. Please note that your submission must be related to theme of the journal Symmetry.

This paper presents an efficiency optimization controller for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) of an electric vehicle. A new loss model is obtained based on the permanent magnet synchronous motor’s energy balance equation utilizing the theory of the port-controlled Hamiltonian system. Since the energy balance equation is just the power loss of the PMSM, which provides great convenience for us to use the energy method for efficiency optimization. Then, a new loss minimization algorithm (LMA) is designed based on the new loss model by adjusting the ratio of the excitation current in the d–q axis. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is achieved by the principle of the energy shape method of the Hamiltonian system. Simulations are finally presented to verify effectiveness. The main results of these simulations indicate that the dynamic performance of the drive is maintained and the efficiency increase is up to about 7% compared with the id=0 control algorithm, and about 4.5% compared with the conventional LMA at a steady operation of a PMSM.

This paper presents an alternative system called the axial-flux dual-stator toothless permanent magnet machine (AFDSTPMM) system for flywheel energy storage. This system lowers self-dissipation by producing less core loss than existing structures; a permanent magnet (PM) array is put forward to enhance the air–gap flux density of the symmetrical air gap on both sides. Moreover, its vertical stability is strengthened through the adoption of an axial-flux machine, so expensive active magnetic bearings can be replaced. The symmetry configuration of the AFDSTPMM system is shown in this paper. Then, several parts of the AFDSTPMM system are optimized thoroughly, including stator windings, number of pole pairs and the PM parameters. Further, the performance of the proposed PM array, including back-EMFs, air–gap flux density, average torque, torque ripple and over-load capacity, are compared with the Halbach PM array and spoke PM array, showing the superiority of proposed configuration. Finally, 3D simulations were made to testify for the 2D analyses. Full article

In order to play the important role of electric vehicles to promote the realization of the 3060 double carbon target, electric vehicles have seen explosive growth. However, due to the tight symmetry between the number and distribution of electric vehicles and their corresponding charging facilities, the layout of charging facilities has higher requirements. This paper collects travel data in the form of a traffic travel questionnaire for electric vehicle users. Based on the vehicle parking demand model of the queuing theory and Monte Carlo simulation, the paper gives the number of stopping vehicles and the time of vehicles stopping in different places such as residential areas, workplaces, supermarket parking and roadside. In addition, based on the Bass prediction model, the main parameters are modeled in the model, and the price correction coefficient is introduced. The improved Bass model is used to predict the growth trend of electric vehicles in different regions in different years and in different incentive sites. By predicting the ownership of urban electric vehicles and accurately grasping the distribution and operation of electric vehicles, this paper can provide guidance and suggestions for the planning and construction of charging facilities in different regions, effectively reduce the investment cost of charging facilities and guide local governments to formulate reasonable planning schemes.

The frequent occurrence of electric vehicle fire accidents reveals the safety hazards of batteries. When a battery fails, its symmetry is broken, which results in a rapid degradation of its safety performance and poses a great threat to electric vehicles. Therefore, accurate battery fault diagnoses and prognoses are the key to ensuring the safe and durable operation of electric vehicles. Thus, in this paper, we propose a new fault diagnosis and prognosis method for lithium-ion batteries based on a nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) neural network and boxplot for the first time. Firstly, experiments are conducted under different temperature conditions to guarantee the diversity of the data of lithium-ion batteries and then to ensure the accuracy of the fault diagnosis and prognosis at different working temperatures. Based on the collected voltage and current data, the NARX neural network is then used to accurately predict the future battery voltage. A boxplot is then used for the battery fault diagnosis and early warning based on the predicted voltage. Finally, the experimental results (in a new dataset) and a comparative study with a back propagation (BP) neural network not only validate the high precision, all-climate applicability, strong robustness and superiority of the proposed NARX model but also verify the fault diagnosis and early warning ability of the boxplot. In summary, the proposed fault diagnosis and prognosis approach is promising in real electric vehicle applications. Full article

Electric vehicle has become the main trend of the development of automobile industry. As a highly symmetrical system, the characteristics of drive motor will have a great impact on the driving comfort. Aiming at the control regulation of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive, a model-free and non-cascade sliding mode control with a fast-reaching law is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the mathematical model of PMSM is constructed as an ultra-local model without considering any motor parameters. Then, to improve the response speed, an integral sliding mode method with a fast reaching law is proposed, and the fast convergence can be realized. The controller system adopts single loop non-cascade control, which greatly simplifies the system structure. In order to further improve the anti-disturbance performance of the system, the dual disturbance observers are used to compensate the disturbance through feed-forward control. The stability of the system is proved by Lyapunov. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed method has faster convergence speed and stronger anti-disturbance ability. Full article
