Abstract
The global objective of achieving net-zero emissions drives a significant electrified trend by replacing fuel-mechanical systems with onboard microgrid (OBMG) systems for transportation applications. Energy management strategies (EMS) for OBMG systems require complicated optimization algorithms and high computation capabilities, while traditional control techniques may not meet these requirements. Driven by the ability to achieve intelligent decision-making by exploring data, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twins (DT) have gained much interest within the transportation sector. Currently, research on EMS for OBMGs primarily focuses on AI technology, while overlooking the DT. This article provides a comprehensive overview of both information technology, particularly elucidating the role of DT technology. The evaluation and analysis of those emerging information technologies are explicitly summarized. Moreover, this article explores potential challenges in the implementation of AI and DT technologies and subsequently offers insights into future trends.
