Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since its foundation in 1969, the International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition (EVS) series has grown to into one of the longest-running and most renowned events for advancing technology in electric vehicles and related fields, showcasing current and emerging technologies both in the market and under development.

Under the theme "Electric Waves to Future Mobility", the 37th International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition (EVS37), which will be held in Seoul, Korea, from April 23 to 26, 2024, aims to address and shape the monumental movement of e-Mobility alongside academic, government, and industry professionals involved in electric vehicle technologies. To achieve our aim, various sessions will be featured in the symposium, dealing with Electric Vehicle Components, Configuration, Manufacturing, Control, Software Defined Vehicles, Infrastructure and Power Grid, the Electric Vehicle Market and Environment Scope, etc.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue are as follows.

  • Electric Vehicle Manufacturing;
  • Electric Vehicle Control;
  • Infrastructure and Power Grid;
  • Energy Sources and Storage;
  • Application Specific EVs;
  • Policy, Standards and Regulation on EV;
  • EV Market Development;
  • Environment and Social Contributions Related to Electric Vehicles.

We look forward to featuring your innovations and accomplishments.

Of course, papers from other communities are also welcome.

The energy management strategy (EMS) is a decision-making algorithm for effective power allocation between storage devices in a hybrid energy storage system (HESS). Source voltages, state of charge (SOC), the terminal voltage of the load, and the rate of change in the battery current must be considered while implementing the EMS and, hence, they are termed as performance indicators. This research work focuses on the development of an EMS, designed to manage the performance indicators of the sources (terminal voltage and battery current rate) and ensure efficient power distribution through a shared bus topology. A shared bus topology employs individual converters for each source, offering efficient control over these sources. Rule-based fuzzy logic control ensures efficient power distribution between batteries and ultracapacitors. Additionally, hardware has been developed to validate the power allocation strategy and regulate the DC-link voltage in the energy management system (EMS). dSPACE MicroLabBox is utilized for the implementation of real-time control strategies. A battery and an ultracapacitor bank are utilized in a hybrid energy storage system. The simulation outcomes have been corroborated by experimental data, affirming the efficacy of the proposed energy management strategy. The proposed EMS achieves a 2.1% battery energy saving compared to a conventional battery electric vehicle over a 25 s duration under the same load conditions. Full article

Abstract
ISO 15118 is an international standard for charging communication between electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. Among the series of ISO 15118, ISO 15118-4, ISO 15118-5, ISO 15118-9, and ISO 15118-21 (under development) define active conformance testing methodologies where the test system engages with [...] Read more.
ISO 15118 is an international standard for charging communication between electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. Among the series of ISO 15118, ISO 15118-4, ISO 15118-5, ISO 15118-9, and ISO 15118-21 (under development) define active conformance testing methodologies where the test system engages with the system under test as a primary actor and tests whether the counterparty is complying with the standard. However, such a full-fledged test system is not appropriate during system development and field testing. In this paper, a passive conformance testing approach that monitors the packets between the electric vehicle and the charger and performs conformance testing against the requirements of ISO 15118 is proposed. This novel approach exhibits practicality yet comprehensive testing capability for field testing because of its passive access to the packets with deep analysis for the conformance. TestShark, a modified packet analysis tool, showed that the passive conformance testing system can help developers and operators analyze problems in charging communication and assess the quality of implementation with respect to ISO 15118.

This paper describes an approach in improving the performance of the position sensorless control of electric oil pumps with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Electric oil pumps are widely applied for the lubricating and cooling of e-Axles in HEV and BEV which operate from −40 to 130 °C. The accuracy of the estimation obtained from the sensorless control based on the motor model depends on the accuracy of motor parameters and input values. At a lower speed and lower temperature region, the parameter variation and input measurement errors have gained greater influence over the accuracy of the estimation. This paper describes how to overcome this weakness of the sensorless drive via applying a robust position estimator with electrical parameter adaptation and compensation of a phase voltage measurement error. Experimental results with various types of pumps show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Full article
