Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for an energy transition has motivated the replacement of traditional sources of energy with sustainable ones. For example, the electrification of mobility and heating systems has been accelerated during recent years. The replacement of gas in homes and fossil fuels in cars has led to a significantly higher electricity demand, which puts pressure on electricity grids. Different technologies, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and heat pumps have emerged as alternatives to traditional systems.
Future energy systems will have a mix of energy carriers. Multi-carrier systems, to be installed in households, buildings, microgrids, and charging stations, will have a higher participation in the future. For this reason, the integration, control, and coordination of these systems and their role in supporting the grid is key to accelerate the energy transition. This Special Issue is dedicated to multi-carrier systems and will cover the topics of:
- Multi-carrier residential systems;
- Multi-carrier charging stations;
- Multi-carrier energy storage systems;
- Optimization and control of multi-carrier systems;
- Design of multi-carrier systems;
- Coordination of multi-carrier systems.
