Advanced Optimization and Control Strategies of Electric Vehicles and Green Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

With one-quarter of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions originating from the transportation sector, both the capacity of renewable energy sources and electric vehicle sales are projected to experience significant growth as key strategies for curbing CO₂ emissions, leading to rapid transformation of energy systems. While it is generally agreed that electrification, based on green energy, is crucial for the transportation sector’s green energy system transition, views vary on how to achieve this, including technological pathways and application details. Collecting a broader portfolio of recent academic and industrial solutions that enhance transportation electrification and maximize green energy benefits in interactions of electric transport with the power system is of great importance, and it will help bridge the gap between the transport, power, and energy sectors for decarbonizing mobility.

This Special Issue will cover promising, recent, and novel research trends in the optimization and control strategies of electric vehicles and green energy systems to help address potential difficulties and challenges in green-energy-based transportation electrification. Authors are encouraged to submit original research and review articles with theoretical, methodological, or practical focuses.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced optimal planning and operation methods for promoting green energy in transportation electrification
• Impact of electric transport on the green-energy-based power systems
• Analysis and discussions for transportation decarbonization pathways
• Power-to-hydrogen-based electrification solutions for the transportation sector
• Emission and environment impact of transportation electrification
• Energy storage systems promoting green mobility
• Vehicle-to-X and X-to-vehicle systems
• Machine learning in power systems
