Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy management/control strategy design is one of the key issues in the advancement of fuel cell and hybrid vehicles so as to maximize the reliability, efficiency, and lifetime of the system while satisfying the requested power. Several methods have been put forward and are currently being developed, from physical model-based control methods to pure data-driven techniques. Each of the proposed techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages and can be appropriately utilized in several cases. Furthermore, from a global standpoint, the power sharing between different sources of a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV) results in varied energetic performance and imposes ageing/degradation on the utilized sources. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to disseminate the most recent advances related to the energy management strategy of FCHEVs along with theory, design, modeling, application, control, and condition monitoring of all the involved energy/power sources.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Advanced energy management strategies (hierarchical, optimization-based, intelligent-based, health-conscious);
- Fuel cell systems and fuel cell vehicles;
- Online identification methods for energy sources;
- Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV);
- Power sharing among energy storage systems;
- Fault-tolerant control;
- Aging, degradation, diagnostic, and prognostic tools;
- Multi-fuel cell systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
