New JESTIE Special Section on “Advanced Fault Modeling, Characterization and Diagnosis in Electric Vehicle Powertrain Components and Systems”
Organized by: Dr. Lakshmi Varaha Iyer, Prof. Chunyan Lai, Prof. Guodong Feng and Prof. Deepak Ronanki
Vehicles (EVs) have been receiving increasing research and development interest in recent years to resolve environmental issues caused by the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. Electric vehicles are propelled by their powertrain system with electric motors, power converters, energy sources and the associated control and monitoring systems. These electric powertrain components used for traction application endure different transients and aging effects due to its continuous severe duty operation. Undoubtedly, safety and reliability are of utmost importance in the electric vehicle powertrain components and systems. Hence, it is imperative to investigate and address various faults in the electric vehicle powertrain components and systems. This special section aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry, academia and government to present the advanced modeling, monitoring and control techniques related to faults in electric vehicle powertrain components and systems.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions and survey papers in these areas. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Machine learning based fault diagnosis and prognosis techniques for electric motors and drives
- Reliability and stability assessment of power converters
- Active thermal control strategies for power electronic converters
- Failure prediction of power electronic components and passive components
- Different fault modeling and characterization for the electric powertrain components, e.g. machines and drive
- Condition monitoring for electric motors and drives
- State of health monitoring for EV powertrain system
- Degradation and remaining useful lifetime estimations
