Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have limited driving ranges compared to conventional vehicles (CVs). Therefore, whether BEVs meet highway-trip requirements poses a critical concern for consumers. The real-world driving range is significantly different from laboratory test results due to a lack of real-world factors. Here, a hybrid physical-stochastic model is proposed to assess the real-world performance

Batteries are widely applied to the energy storage and power supply in portable electronics, transportation, power systems, communication networks, and so forth. They are particularly demanded in the emerging technologies of vehicle electrification and renewable energy integration for a green and sustainable society. To meet various voltage, power, and energy requirements in large-scale applications

Wind energy has received considerable attention during the past two decades, owing to its vital role in battling both the energy crisis and global climate change. Wind energy has grown to become the most significant nonconventional renewable energy source. Today, modern wind turbines (WTs) are controlled to offer several functionalities that improve their flexibility at a level similar to conventional

The energy paradigm is making the modern power grid more difficult to study, design, and control. Precisely speaking, the pace of the new energy paradigm involves the high penetration of power electronics systems in the power grid, which becomes a challenge from stability, vulnerability, and power-quality points of views. Therefore, various literature have focused on defining the modern power grid

Detecting inaccurate smart meters and targeting them for replacement can save significant resources. For this purpose, a novel deeplearning method was developed based on long short-term memory (LSTM) and a modified convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict electricity usage trajectories based on historical data. From the significant difference between the predicted trajectory and the observed one

The Energy Internet is proposed to enhance the collaborative utilization of distributed renewable energy resources; enable a flexible, customer-engaged energy transaction network; and achieve real-time balancing of supply and demand. This allows integrating advanced Internet of Things (IoT)-based architectures, information and communications technology (ICT)-based end-to-end digital energy chains;

Electrically propelled ships gained popularity by the early 20th century, with the rapid development of submarines and mediumcapacity container ships, mainly using dc motors [1]. Synchronous ac motors have since been employed for naval propulsion systems, but due to the restricted operation of the available power electronic devices at that time, these configurations were too expensive and unreliable

As an emerging research topic, wireless power transfer (WPT) with a single transmitter for multiple pickups (STMP) shows salient advantages of reducing the number of power inverters, increasing the power density, and so on, which has profound implications for various applications, such as wireless charging for electric vehicles (EVs) and smart homes. First, this article introduces the concept of STMP-WPT

High-performance wireless communication is crucial to the digital transformation of industrial systems, which is driven by Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet initiatives. Among the candidate industrial wireless technologies, 5G (cellular/mobile) holds significant potential. The operation of private (nonpublic) 5G networks in industrial environments is promising to fully unleash this potential. This

The fourth industrial revolution, also termed Industry 4.0 (I4.0), will digitalize manufacturing operations and decentralize them from the shop floor to the office and across entire enterprise networks [1]. The proposed system-level digitalization solutions for I4.0 include cyber-physical systems [2] and digital twins [3]. Standardized I4.0 technologies are urgently required to change industry and

The limitations of the thermal, vibration, or electrical monitoring of electric machines such as false indications, low sensitivity, and difficulty of fault interpretation have recently been exposed. This has led to a shift in the direction in research toward applying new techniques for improving the reliability of condition monitoring. With the changing environment, the purpose of this article is

eAssessment The application of multiterminal (MT), high-voltage dc (HVdc) (MTdc) grid technology requires test procedures for the operation and implementation of the protection solutions. The test procedures are usually derived from experience and from extensive measurement data, which, at present, are still not widely available. Based on a hardware-inthe- loop (HIL) method, advanced dc protection

Microgrids can be isolated from large-scale power transmission/distribution systems (macrogrids) to deliver energy to their local communities using local energy resources and distribution systems when power outages occur in the macrogrids. In such situations, microgrids could be considered the last available resource to provide energy to critical infrastructure.

Industrial agents (IAs) [1] are multiagentbased systems (MASs) [2] that, for many years, have been advocated as a promising and realistic solution for an emerging set of industrial challenges. In the past, MASs fell into the scope of enterprise agility [3]-[8], and now, more than ever, pertain to the industrial digital transformation and sustainability spheres. MAS technology is being applied to several

Currently, the necessity of efficient and reliable power systems is also increasing because of the strict requirements that standards and regulations impose, but still costs have to remain low. The monitoring and control of the components' lifetime can lead to reduce maintenance costs.However, overcoming the related challenges is not a straightforward task, as it involves knowledge of power device

Lithium (Li)-ion batteries have become the mainstream energy storage solution for many applications, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and smart grids. However, various faults in a Li-ion battery system (LIBS) can potentially cause performance degradation and severe safety issues. Developing advanced fault diagnosis technologies is becoming increasingly critical for the safe operation of LIBS. This article

With the increasing shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) as a means of transportation, their participation in smart grid operations is gaining importance. If not managed properly, charging a large fleet of EVs could lead to detrimental effects on the smart grid's reliability and stability. On the other hand, EVs can support the grid through vehicle-togrid (V2G) operation and help improve frequency

High-voltage dc (HVdc) circuit breakers (CBs) are a key technology of multiterminal dc (MTdc) systems and grids. In this article, a state-of-the-art 500-kV hybrid CB (HCB) topology is proposed and compared with other existing HCB solutions. Implementing the topology includes three important components: a modular designed high-current bidirectional solid-state switch (SS), an ultrafast mechanical switch

One can define an energy system as a system that converts one or more energy fluxes into other energy fluxes of a different kind. This definition may describe a relatively small system, for instance, a power plant, a chemical plant, or the heating and cooling apparatus of a single-family house, as well as one covering larger energy needs, for example, those of a city, a country, or even a continent

Supercapacitor (SC), or electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), technology has matured well during the past two decades into three commercial variations with capacitance values ranging between 1 and 50,000 F. Compared to electrolytic or film-type capacitors with the same canister size, they offer capacitance that is more than 1 million times larger, with a one to two order smaller equivalent series

Research, the universal pursuit of new knowledge, is embarking on a fresh journey into artificial intelligence (AI). Nature reports that AI arose nine places to the fourth-most popular search term and that search terms machine learning and deep learning appeared in the top 20 for the first time since 2018. It is pertinent for industrial informatics to embrace this renewed surge of interest in AI with

In the late 1950s, the advent of computers was evolving into a technological revolution, and within it the era of the transistorized computer, the so-called second generation, was beginning. Although much of that progress took place in the United States and United Kingdom, enthusiastic pioneers were also making important contributions in other nations [1], [2]. Recently, I was fortunate enough to come
