Summary: Replacing conventional fuel vehicles with electric vehicles effectively reduces pollution. However, quick charging is a pressing issue for the widespread use of electric vehicles. A water-cooled battery thermal management system with embedded cylindrical batteries and parallel microchannels has been proposed to improve cooling and temperature uniformity during high-rate charging. Experimental results show that the fuzzy PID control strategy achieves the best control effect on maximum module temperature and temperature difference. Compared to other control strategies, the fuzzy PID controller has the shortest response time and improves the average state of charge at different ambient temperatures.

Summary: Forty years after the failed introduction of rechargeable lithium-metal batteries and 30 years after the successful commercialization of the lower capacity, graphite-anode based lithium-ion battery by Sony, demand for higher energy density batteries is leading to reinvestigation of the problem of dendrite growth that makes the metallic lithium anodes unsafe. One strategy to mitigate dendrite growth is to deposit thin, tailored, corrosion-passivating coatings on the metallic lithium, instead of allowing the metal to spontaneously react with the organic electrolyte solution to form its passivating solid electrolyte interface (SEI).

Summary: Thermal management is crucial for lithium-ion batteries due to their heat generation during high-rate charging and discharging. This paper presents a novel manifold immersion (MI) cooling structure inspired by the microchannel structure for chip cooling. Numerical simulation models are used for optimization analysis. The results reveal that the MI cooling structure requires high heat transfer on the lateral surface of batteries rather than the bottom or baffle surface. The cooling capacity is greatly influenced by design parameters such as manifold channel length and battery spacing channel width. Stable wall jet flows contribute to better thermal load and temperature uniformities. The optimized MI cooling structure achieves a maximum temperature of 35.06 degrees C with good temperature uniformity for a lithium-ion battery pack.

Summary: A virtual adaptive inertia control (VAIC) strategy is proposed in this paper to maintain system stability by estimating the states of energy storage battery packs (ESBPs) online and designing virtual inertia and droop parameters. In microgrids, VAIC can distribute power and inertia among ESBPs, improving system stability and achieving decentralized and coordinated control throughout the entire running process.

Summary: A multi-physics model is developed for micro heat pipe battery thermal management system (MHP-BTMS) considering battery aging effect. A novel multi-variables global optimization framework is established for optimizing the structural parameters of MHP-BTMS to improve battery thermal management and electrochemical performance simultaneously. The research finds that MHP-BTMS fails to control the temperature of aged battery pack due to the higher heat generation caused by solid electrolyte interphase formation. Additionally, the study shows that battery electrochemical performance is highly related to battery thermal behaviors.

Summary: This paper proposes a collision avoidance decision-making and control method for small vessels using the integrated collision risk assessment based on fuzzy logic. The method fuzzifies the speed of wind and height of wave, selects collision risk indices for fuzzy inference, and integrates them with the vulnerability to collision accidents to improve the accuracy of collision risk assessment. The method retrieves similar cases from a case database and gives collision avoidance decisions after fuzzy adjustments. A fuzzy algorithm for nonlinear ship heading dynamic surface control is designed to implement collision avoidance actions.

Summary: This paper proposes a thermal management system for a Swiss roll-type battery and investigates the effects of structural parameters, coolant flow rate, coolant type, and inlet temperature on the heat dissipation performance of the battery module. The coolant flow rate is found to be the main controlling factor. The optimized Swiss roll-type battery module achieves lower maximum temperature and better temperature uniformity compared to the reference group.
