REEV thermal management gets a learning based upgrade in a new paper in the Journal of Energy Storage, where a global optimization guided generative adversarial imitation learning controller (GAIL) cut fuel consumption by 3.31% to 10.65% against rule based and reinforcement learning strategies for a range extended electric vehicle. The study went online on 21 October 2026 in volume 183 (DOI 10.1016/j.est.2026.125212). How the REEV thermal management controller is trained The method integrates energy management and thermal management in one multi objective problem that minimises fuel consumption and battery aging cost together. An offline dynamic programming run, which finds the…

LOHC hydrogen storage is the subject of a new review in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy that compares four families of liquid organic hydrogen carriers and concludes that catalyst deactivation, high energy demand and low round trip efficiency still hold back deployment. The paper, by Mohammad Minhazul Abedin and M. Nasiruzzaman Shaikh and funded by KFUPM, appeared online on 21 October 2026 as article 158162 in volume 286 and draws on 249 references (DOI 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2026.158162). How LOHC hydrogen storage works A liquid organic hydrogen carrier binds hydrogen chemically to an organic molecule that stays liquid. According to the paper’s…
