Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition towards sustainable energy systems is increasingly driven by innovations in electrical transportation and storage technologies. As the demand for cleaner energy sources rises, integrating these technologies into existing power and energy systems has become essential. Electrical transportation, including electric vehicles and advanced energy storage solutions such as batteries, has a pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the efficiency of power systems. This Special Issue addresses the critical need to explore and optimize these technologies within the broader context of sustainable energy systems.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances and challenges in the integration of electrical transportation and energy storage into power systems. This focus aligns with the journal's scope by addressing key aspects of power and energy systems, including system modeling, energy management, and the impact of sustainable technologies on power grid stability and resilience. The goal is to provide a multidisciplinary dialog that brings together experts in power systems, energy markets, transportation technologies, and environmental sustainability.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Integration of electric vehicles into smart grids;
- Advances in energy storage technologies and their applications;
- Energy management systems for sustainable transportation;
- Impact of renewable energy sources with storage on power system stability;
- Optimization of power distribution networks with storage and electric vehicles;
- Policy and economic considerations for electrical transportation and energy storage;
- Exploring the role of distributed energy resources, including rooftop solar, in conjunction with energy storage and electrical transportation;
- Examining the potential of electric vehicles as mobile energy storage units contributing to grid stability;
- Innovations in electric vehicle charging stations, including wireless and ultra-fast charging solutions;
- Environmental and economic impacts of storage production, usage, and recycling;
- Application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for optimizing the operation of energy storage systems and electrical transportation networks;
- Assessing the role of batteries and other storage technologies in enhancing the reliability of wind and solar energy;
- Analysis of global and regional policies driving the adoption of electrical transportation and energy storage;
- Addressing the challenges and solutions for protecting energy systems from cyber threats;
- Combining different energy storage technologies and their integration with electrical transportation for improved efficiency;
- Studying market mechanisms and economic incentives to promote the adoption of sustainable energy technologies.
We look forward to receiving insightful contributions.
