Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric vehicle (EV) battery-swapping stations (BSSs) are an important aid in the rapid growth of transport electrification systems. BSSs are not only an efficient solution to the long waiting times at charging stations for EVs but also can be treated as distributed energy storage systems that can support the operation of regional power systems, such as peak shifting and frequency regulations. However, the requirement for satisfying the instantaneous replacement of batteries for EVs and supporting grid operations may conflict each other since both of them require a certain amount of battery capacity. In this case, the optimal design, advanced power control and management strategies for BSSs are emerging.
In this Special Issue, research contributions related to EV BSSs are welcome, particularly those covering the following topics:
- Optimal sizing and location of BSSs;
- Advanced charging and discharging techniques and equipment for BSSs;
- Dynamic operation management strategies for BSSs;
- Grid-supporting techniques of BSSs;
- Stability analysis of regional power grid featuring distributed BSSs;
- Reliability estimation and enhancing technology for BSSs.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
