Hybridisation of energy sources in marine vessels has been recognized as one of the feasible solutions to improve fuel economy and achieve global emission reduction targets in the maritime sector. However, the overall performance of a hybrid vessel system is strongly dependent on the efficiency of the energy management system (EMS) that regulates the power-flow amongst the propulsion sources and the energy storage system (ESS). This study develops a simple but production-feasible and efficient EMS for a dynamic positioning (DP) hybrid electric marine vessel (HEMV) and real-time experimental evaluation within a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environment. To support the development and evaluation, map-based performance models of HEMVs’ key components are developed. Control logics that underpin the EMS are then designed and verified. Real-time performance evaluation to assess the performance and applicability of the proposed EMS is conducted, showing the improvement over those of the conventional control strategies. The comparison using key performance indicators (KPIs) demonstrates that the proposed EMS could achieve up to 4.8% fuel saving per voyage, while the overall system performance remains unchanged as compared to that of the conventional vessel.

Electric vehicles (EVs) experience a range reduction at low temperatures caused by the impact of cabin heating and a reduction in lithium ion performance. Heat pump equipped vehicles have been shown to reduce heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) consumption and improve low ambient temperature range. Heating the electric battery, to improve its low temperature performance, leads to a reduction in heat availability for the cabin. In this paper, dynamic programming is used to find the optimal battery heating trajectory which can optimise the vehicle’s control for either cabin comfort or battery performance and, therefore, range. Using the strategy proposed in this research, a 6.2% increase in range compared to no battery heating and 5.5% increase in thermal comfort compared to full battery heating was achieved at an ambient temperature at −7 ∘C.

This paper proposes an output feedback controller with a linear extended state observer (LESO) for an n-degree-of-freedom (n-DOF) manipulator under the presence of external disturbance, an input dead-zone, and time-varying output constraints. First, these issues are derived in mathematical equations accompanying an n-DOF manipulator. The proposed control is designed based on the backstepping technique with the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) and a LESO. The LESO is used for estimating both the unmeasured states and the lumped uncertainties including the unknown frictions, external disturbances, and input dead-zone, in order to enhance the accuracy of the robotic manipulator. Additionally, the BLF helps to avoid violation of the output constraints. The stability and the output constraint satisfaction of the controlled manipulator are theoretically analyzed and proven by the Lyapunov theorem with a barrier Lyapunov function. Some comparative simulations are carried out on a 3-DOF planar manipulator. The simulation results prove the significant performance improvement of the proposed control over the previous methods.

Within Li-ion batteries, lithium plating is considered as one of the main reasons behind the capacity fade that occurs during low temperature and fast charging conditions. Previous studies indicate that plating is influenced by the levels of loss of lithium inventory (LLI) and the loss of active material (LAM) present in a battery. However, it is not clear from the literature on how lithium plating influences battery degradation in terms of LAM and LLI. Quantifying the undesirable impacts of lithium plating can help in understanding its impact on battery degradation and feedback effects of previous lithium plating on the formation of present plating. This study aims to quantify the degradation modes of lithium plating: LLI, LAM at the electrode level. A commercial Li-ion cell was first, aged using two different cases: with and without lithium plating. Second, a degradation diagnostic method is developed to quantify the degradation modes based on their measurable effects on open-circuit voltage (OCV) and cell capacity. The results highlight that LAMNE and LLI levels under the fast charge profile are increased by 10% and 12%, respectively, compared to those under the less aggressive charge profile. Further, limitations of the degradation analysis methods are discussed.

This paper presents a strategy for a fractional order fuzzy proportional integral derivative controller (FOFPID) controller for trajectory-tracking control of an electro-hydraulic rotary actuator (EHRA) under variant working requirements. The proposed controller is based on a combination of a fractional order PID (FOPID) controller and a fuzzy logic system. In detail, the FOPID with extension from the integer order to non-integer order of integral and derivative functions helps to improve tracking, robustness and stability of the control system. A fuzzy logic control system is designed to adjust the FOPID parameters according to time-variant working conditions. To evaluate the proposed controller, co-simulations (using AMESim and MATLAB) and real-time experiments have been conducted. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to other typical controllers.

Other than upgrading the energy storage technology employed within electric vehicles (EVs), improving the driving range estimation methods will help to reduce the phenomena, known as range anxiety. The remaining discharge energy (RDE) of the battery affects the remaining driving range of the vehicle directly and its accurate calculation is crucial. In this paper a novel approach for the RDE calculation of the battery is proposed. First a stochastic load prediction algorithm is prepared via a Markov model and Gaussian mixture data clustering. Then, the load prediction algorithm is connected to the battery second order equivalent circuit model (ECM) coupled with a bulk parameter thermal model. Based on the extrapolated load and the battery dynamics, the battery future temperature conditions, future parameter variations and its internal states are predicted. Finally, the battery end of discharge time is prognosed and its RDE is calculated iteratively. In order to prove the proposed concept, lithium-ion battery cells are selected and the performance of the method is validated experimentally under real-world dynamic current charge/discharge profiles.

With the expansion of the number of electric vehicles (EV) over the world, the research on the battery and the battery management system (BMS) have become more popular. The active balancing, which is working as an advanced function in the modern BMS, has attracted researchers’ attention to enhance battery system performance and prolong the battery pack life via integration of specially designed power electronic circuit with proper control and optimisation strategies in the BMS. This paper develops the power-loss and efficiency models of the bidirectional active clamp forward converter with synchronous rectifier (ACFC-SR) based active cell balancing system. The developed models can be involved in the power loss analysis of the active cell balancing system to underpin the energy efficiency performance evaluation and the balancing control system design of active balancing systems. The optimal balancing current with which the converter would operate at the maximum efficiency point can be obtained via the developed efficiency model. A case study is also included to illustrate the efficiency performance of the active balancing system.
