Wireless Charging for Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

Wireless power transfer has become a key enabling technology for charging electric vehicles in the last few years. Nonetheless, many issues of these systems need to be improved, such as their efficiency, operation distance, emissions of electromagnetic fields, and cost of the infrastructures, to mention just a few. The objective of this Special Issue is to publish the most recent theoretical and practical research results of wireless power transfer applied to the charge of electric vehicles, preferably with a focus on the latest standard SAE-2954. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following technical areas:

• Wireless power transfer topologies for charging electric vehicles (inductive, capacitive, etc.).
• Design of magnetic coupling stages for wireless power transfer.
• Control design of wireless power transfer systems applied to the charge of electric vehicles.
• Resonant topologies, resonant converters, and power electronics.
• Modeling and simulation of in-motion wireless charging for electric vehicles, or OLEV (on line electric vehicles).
• Modeling, analysis, and simulation of bidirectional wireless power transfer systems applied to the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept.
• Vehicle alignment systems for wireless chargers.

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.
