**About the Editors**

**Pavol Bauer** is currently a full Professor with the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy of Delft University of Technology and head of DC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage group. He received a master's degree in Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Kosice ('85), PhD from Delft University of Technology ('95) and the title 'Prof.' from the President of Czech Republic at the Brno University of Technology (2008) and Delft University of Technology (2016). He is also an honorary professor at Politehnica University Timisioira in Romania. From 2002 to 2003, he was working partially at KEMA (DNV GL, Arnhem) on different projects related to power electronics applications in power systems. He published over 110 journal and over 400 conference papers in his field (with H factor Google scholar 38, Web of Science 25), he is an author or co-author of 8 books, holds 5 international patents and has organized several tutorials at international conferences.

He has worked on many projects for industry concerning wind and wave energy, power electronic applications for power systems such as Smarttrafo; HVDC systems, projects for smart cities such as PV charging of electric vehicles, PV and storage integration, contactless charging; and he participated in several Leonardo da Vinci, H2020 and Electric Mobility Europe EU projects as project partner (ELINA, INETELE, E-Pragmatic, Micact, Trolly 2.0, OSCD) and coordinator (PEMCWebLab.com-Edipe, SustEner, Eranet DCMICRO). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE ('97), former chairman of Benelux IEEE Joint Industry Applications Society, Power Electronics and Power Engineering Society chapter, chairman of the Power Electronics and Motion Control (PEMC) council, member of the Executive Committee of European Power Electronics Association (EPE) and also member of international steering committee at numerous conferences.

**Gautham Ram Chandra Mouli** is an Assistant Professor in the DC systems, Energy conversion and Storage group in the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. His current research focuses on electric vehicles, EV charging, PV systems, power electronics and demand-side management.

He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Trichy, India in 2011 and the Delft University of Technology in 2013, respectively. He received his PhD from Delft University in 2018 for the development of a solar-powered V2G electric vehicle charger and designed smart charging algorithms (with PRE Power Developers, ABB and UT Austin). It was awarded the 'Most significant innovation in electric vehicles' award from IDtechEx in 2018. From 2017 to 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft, working on research topics related to power converters for EV charging, the smart charging of EVs, and trolley buses.

He is involved in many projects with industrial and academic partners at national and EU levels, concerning electric mobility and renewable energy such as PV charging of electric vehicles, OSCD, Trolley 2.0, Flexgrid. He was awarded the best paper prize in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics in 2018, the Best Poster prize at Erasmus Energy Forum 2016, Netherlands, and the Best Paper prize at the IEEE INDICON Conference 2009, India. He is the coordinator and a lecturer for Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Electric cars on edX.org with 125,000 learners from 175 countries. He is the Vice-chair of IEEE Industrial Electronic Society Benelux chapter.
