Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global shift toward sustainable, low-carbon energy systems is driving rapid innovation in renewable energy, electric vehicles (EVs), and power electronics. As renewable energy sources like solar and wind power become more widespread, their variability presents challenges for stable grid integration. At the same time, the electrification of transport is accelerating, with EVs emerging not only as low-emission vehicles but also as potential grid assets through advanced charging technologies and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions.
This Special Issue will focus on recent breakthroughs and emerging solutions at the intersection of EV charging infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and power electronic systems. It aims to compile cutting-edge research and practical innovations that enhance system efficiency, flexibility, and reliability, while supporting a cleaner and smarter energy future. Potential topics include intelligent EV charging strategies, bidirectional power flow, converter technologies, grid support functionalities, and energy management systems involving coordination across vehicles, renewables, and storage systems.
We invite contributions that address the technical, operational, and economic aspects of EV charging solutions and their role in enabling the development of renewable-based energy systems.
Topics of Interest:
- The use of advanced EV charging infrastructure for renewable integration;
- The use of power converters and control strategies for EV and grid interaction;
- The sizing and operation of EV-integrated energy systems;
- Energy storage systems, including batteries and hydrogen storage systems;
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems;
- The optimization of integrated EV–renewable systems;
- Demand response and load shifting strategies;
- Generation and charging demand forecasting;
- Economic and environmental performance assessment;
- The use of machine learning and analytics for uncertainty management;
- The reliability and resilience of EV–renewable systems.
