Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of energy storage system is an important path in the decarbonization of the transportation sector. In recent years, the advanced energy storage technologies have attracted the attention of many scholars. It is both an opportunity and a challenge. Many institutions and scholars have focused on the energy storage system and related research directions. The intelligent management and control technology of energy storage system has achieved rapid development. However, there are still some key technologies to be breakthroughs.  For example, such as battery state estimation in the whole lifetime, battery extreme fast charge, efficient active cell balance strategy, early warning of failures and thermal runaways, efficient heating and cooling technology, etc. This Special Issue aims to establish a platform for the most recent technologies related to the analyses, management and control of energy storage system. This Special Issue welcomes reviews and technical studies on intelligent management and control of energy storage system.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • modeling and estimation
  • early warning of failures and thermal runaways
  • cell balancing strategies
  • heating and cooling technology
  • extreme fast charging technology
  • battery aging and life prediction
  • artificial intelligence for energy storage system.

This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a novel human–machine redundant braking system (HMRBS) for aftermarket low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) to realise the backup redundancy ability and improve active safety. First, the HMRBS is designed by connecting the electro-hydraulic braking (EHB) unit oil pipelines in parallel with the manual braking (MB) unit through two three-way shuttle valves. Then, the mathematical model of the EHB subsystem is built, and a master cylinder pressure controller with adaptive fuzzy proportion integration differentiation (PID) and a servo motor speed controller with double-closed-loop proportion integration (PI) are proposed to improve the system response performance. Following this, the co-simulation model of the proposed closed-loop system is established based on AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink to validate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy. Finally, the effectiveness of the HMRBS is also validated by test rig and vehicle experiments. The results imply that the modified LSEV with the HMRBS meets the requirements of vehicle active braking ability and manual braking redundancy. Furthermore, the proposed controller can significantly enhance pressure control accuracy compared to the classical PID controller. The deceleration fluctuation and braking distance in the active braking mode are smaller than those in the manual braking mode, indicating that the proposed system makes the braking effect more stable and safer.
