Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The electrification of transportation systems is a pivotal component of the global transition toward sustainable energy solutions. Electrified transportation, such as electric vehicles (EVs), electric aircraft, electric ships and electrified rail systems, promises significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, improvements in energy efficiency and enhancements in air quality. As the adoption of electrified transportation accelerates, the need for sophisticated energy management and control strategies becomes increasingly critical. The integration of electrified transportation systems with renewable energy sources, smart grids and advanced control technologies presents numerous opportunities and challenges. Efficient energy management is essential to maximize the benefits of electrification, ensuring that electrical grids can accommodate the increased load while maintaining stability and reliability. Furthermore, the development of advanced control strategies can optimize the performance and sustainability of electrified transportation systems, enhancing their overall effectiveness and user experience.

This Special Issue aims to gather state-of-the-art research and innovative solutions in the field of energy management and control for electrified transportation systems. The goal is to explore and address the technical, economic and regulatory challenges associated with the widespread adoption and integration of electrified transportation. The Special Issue will feature theoretical studies, practical applications and case studies that highlight the latest advancements in energy management and control for electrified transportation systems. By fostering collaboration among researchers, industry experts and policymakers, this Special Issue aims to promote the dissemination of innovative ideas and best practices that can accelerate the transition to a sustainable transportation future.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

  • Smart grid interaction with electrified transportation;
  • Emerging technologies for energy management in electrified transportation;
  • Advanced control techniques for electrified transportation;
  • Integration of renewable energy sources in electrified transportation;
  • Energy harvesting and storage in electrified transportation;
  • Resilience and reliability of energy systems in electrified transportation;
  • Operation control and optimization in electrified transportation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
