Abstract

The development of transportation technology in the automotive sector such as electric vehicles is increasingly advanced. One technology that is needed quite a lot is the development of supporting technology for electric vehicle braking. The use of regenerative braking on light electric vehicles such as 2-wheeled vehicles is not efficient because of its low weight. The use of Eddy Current Brake (ECB) can be a solution for braking support needs. This is because the ECB is a braking system that has the advantage of a lightweight design but still relies on the frictionless principle. However, in addition to its advantages, the eddy current brake is still in the early stages of its research with efficiency that still needs to be developed. In the discussion of the ECB, heat generation is one of the interesting topics to be discussed. Specifically, the study of the characteristics of the unipolar ECB axial performance on heat generation events has not yet been discussed. So this article aims to discuss these events with a simulation process and simple mathematical calculations. Design optimization is done to get the best value. As a result, the use of eddy current brakes with conductor disks using slots, can improve the performance of the ECB on the torque side and cooling side. Thus, this article is a good contribution to the sustainability of ECB research in both the general and automotive fields.

Abstract

The increasing demand for reliable lithium-ion battery in various applications is focused on the need for accurate State of Health (SOH) predictions to prevent performance degradation and potential safety risks. Therefore, this research aimed to improve the accuracy of SOH prediction by integrating Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) with Support Vector Machine (SVM) to overcome the overfitting problem in traditional machine learning models. The dataset used consisted of data from 1000 cycles of lithium-ion battery, collected under laboratory conditions. Data from lithium-ion battery cycles were analyzed using optimized PSO-SVM and ACO-SVM models. These models were evaluated using Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metrics, showing significant improvements in prediction accuracy and model generalization. The results showed that although both optimized models were superior to the baseline SVM, PSO-SVM had higher generalization performance during testing. The higher performance was due to the effective balance between exploring the search space and exploiting optimal solutions, making it more suitable for real-world applications. In comparison, ACO-SVM showed superior performance in training data accuracy but was more prone to overfitting, suggesting the potential for scenarios prioritizing high training accuracy. These results could be applied to extend the lifespan of lithium-ion battery, contributing to enhanced reliability and cost-effectiveness in applications.

Abstract

The hybrid catenary”“battery system offers a promising solution for railways operating in non-electrified sections and during emergencies, ensuring uninterrupted operation, enhanced safety, environmental sustainability, and cost efficiency. This study addresses the challenge of determining an appropriate battery size and introduces a novel rule-based Energy Management Strategy (EMS) with coasting mode to minimize energy consumption while meeting operational requirements. The novelty of this work lies in (i) a straightforward sizing method based on worst-case emergency scenarios and (ii) the integration of coasting-mode operation into a rule-based EMS for hybrid catenary”“battery trains. Simulation results show that the proposed approach achieves up to 12.56% energy savings on 3% gradient tracks while fully supplying auxiliary loads, compared with baseline operation that provides only partial coverage. These results demonstrate a practical and scalable framework for designing efficient, reliable, and resilient railway transport systems.
