Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of greenhouse gas emission and resource scarcity, modern transportation is on the verge of a significant paradigm shift, witnessed by the proactive implementation of electrified cars, ships, rail, underwater vehicles and aircraft. With the increasing use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and fuel cells and energy storage systems, modern transportation systems have witnessed a considerable increase in electrification. Microgrids are considered as a viable solution for integrating various renewable energy sources to provide an efficient and reliable energy supply, as well as a potentially reliable carrier for transportation system performance improvements.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to propose innovative solutions to improve the overall performance of transportation systems based on ensuring safety and reliability through the application of microgrids coupled with renewable energy sources. We welcome original research and review articles with a special focus on stability, resilience, and control technologies related to electrified transportation microgrids, energy efficiency improvements in electrified transportation systems, and the application of artificial intelligence in microgrids and transportation electrification. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Optimal and efficient energy management strategy for microgrids;
- Large-signal and small-signal stability studies of microgrids;
- Fault diagnosis, protection and fault-tolerant control for microgrids;
- Application of digital twin technology for microgrids;
- Emerging fuel cell technologies and applications;
- Modeling, analysis, control and management of batteries and supercapacitors;
- The estimation of battery states, such as SOC, SOH, SOF and SOP;
- Failure prediction, thermal management, risk warning and safety control of batteries and fuel cells;
- Advanced control and topology design for power converters in microgrids;
- Techno-economic analysis and optimal planning with EV charging stations;
- Resilient distribution systems using networked microgrids;
- Emerging large-scale energy storage technology;
- Electrification of sea, undersea, air, and space vehicles
- Wind, solar and ocean energy installations for microgrids;
- Wireless charging/fast charging and charging optimization methods;
- Overall design and control of electric propulsion systems;
- Design and application of electric unmanned transportation systems.
