Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8998: Information Sources and Incremental Value in Short-Horizon Prediction of a Multimodal Driving Index in Extra-Long Tunnels
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (431+ words) Predicting driver-state evolution in extra-long tunnel corridors remains challenging because of prolonged spatial confinement and repeated lighting transitions. This study uses a statistical human–vehicle composite, the comprehensive driving index (CDI), as a reproducible quantitative target for predictive auditing. In…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8868: Room-Temperature Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Lithium and Iron from Spent LiFePO4 Batteries via Selective Leaching and Oxalic Acid Precipitation
1+ week, 9+ hour ago (519+ words) The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) highlights the need for efficient recycling strategies to recover critical materials and reduce environmental impact. This study presents an optimized hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of lithium (Li) and iron (Fe) from spent lithium…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8830: Numerical Investigation of Turbulence-Intensity Effects on Wind Loads and Wake Interference in Single-Axis Solar Tracker Arrays
1+ week, 3+ day ago (551+ words) Single-axis solar tracker arrays are commonly installed within the lower atmospheric boundary layer. Their wind loads are governed not only by the module tilt angle, row-to-row sheltering and wind-direction angle but also by the inflow turbulence intensity. To clarify the…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8805: Lightweight State of Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Hybrid PSO-NM Algorithm and Event-Triggered Adaptive Closed-Loop Correction
1+ week, 3+ day ago (466+ words) Advanced battery management systems (BMS) demand high-precision online prediction of lithium-ion battery state of health (SOH). To address engineering challenges where deep learning and multi-physics models struggle with edge deployment on automotive-grade microcontrollers (MCUs) due to high memory footprints and…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8803: Advanced Control Strategies for Hybrid Fuel Cell/Lithium-Ion Battery Systems in Renewable Applications
1+ week, 3+ day ago (466+ words) This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC)-based energy management strategy for hybrid power systems combining a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery storage unit for renewable energy applications. The proposed framework optimizes…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8799: Speed-Adaptive Horizon Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Vehicle Lateral Path Tracking Under Varying Speeds
1+ week, 3+ day ago (514+ words) This paper addresses the lateral path tracking problem for autonomous vehicles operating over a wide speed range by proposing a speed-adaptive horizon model predictive control (SAH-MPC) strategy. Unlike conventional fixed-horizon MPC, the proposed approach schedules both the prediction horizon Np…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8731: Intraday Dispatch Strategies of Battery Energy Storage Systems to Smooth the Duck Curve: A Real-Life Brazilian Case
1+ week, 5+ day ago (280+ words) The growing penetration of centralized and distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation has introduced significant operational challenges in power systems, most notably the “duck curve” phenomenon, which is characterized by steep net load ramp-up at dusk. This issue has become increasingly…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8698: Hybrid Electro-Thermal and FNN Framework for Joint SoC, SoH Estimation and Lifetime Prediction of Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles
1+ week, 6+ day ago (459+ words) Improving the performance and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries is a key challenge for the development of electric vehicles. However, accurately estimating the state of charge (SoC), state of health (SoH), and life cycle remains complex due to the electrical, thermal,…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8682: Co-Optimization of Revenue and Communication for Virtual Power Plants via Renewable Energy Forecasting and Time-Segmented Access
2+ week, 31+ min ago (359+ words) Integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) via Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) faces challenges like renewable intermittency, communication scheduling uncertainties, and high data collection costs. While existing studies often overlook practical implementation efficiency, this paper proposes a VPP scheduling framework integrated with…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8672: Multi-Objective Optimal Capacity Configuration of PV–ESS–Charging Integrated Systems in Highway Service Areas Based on the VIKOR Criterion
2+ week, 2+ hour ago (408+ words) With the rapid growth of electric vehicles, charging demand at highway service areas has increased sharply, while insufficient charging facilities have intensified the mismatch between supply and demand. Existing studies on photovoltaic–energy storage–charging systems mainly focus on urban…...
