Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Energy Control and Management for Transportation Electrification”. There is increasing interest in the issue of sustainable mobility. However, sustainable mobility means more and more electrification of transport, with reference not only to road transport, but also more generally to sea, undersea, air, and space transport. This Special Issue will deal with novel solutions for energy control and management for electrification of transport, which represents one of the key research topics in the sector.

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

  • Powertrain: design and optimization
  • Power electronics and motor drives for transport systems
  • Energy storage systems
  • Electric vehicle system architectures and control
  • Connected and autonomous vehicles
  • Battery chargers and charging infrastructure for EV
  • Regulations for transportation electrification

In this paper, the enhanced auto-tuning technique based on the injection of two sinusoidal test signals of different frequencies applicable on the low voltage induction motor self-commissioning process is presented. The main feature of the proposed technique resides in the advanced signal processing of measured IM voltage and current signals based on the cascaded delay signal cancelation structure. This processing algorithm enables the filtering of the symmetry-related fundamental harmonic from the non-symmetrical test signal excitation typical for the self-commissioning process. Based upon the steady-state response from the proposed filtering block, the simple yet effective calculation method derives the complete parameter set of the IM equivalent circuit. The technique is validated through the variety of computer simulations and experimental tests on the digitally controlled low voltage IM traction drive. Full article

In this study, a double-loop control strategy is proposed for power grid frequency and voltage regulation using plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) connected to the grid through a three-level capacitor clamped inverter. The frequency and voltage regulation problem is first formulated using vector space analysis and phasor diagrams to find the boundaries and constraints in terms of the system parameters. The derived formulas are then utilized to design a double-loop controller using an exclusive phase detector control loop and a novel pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme to effectively regulate the frequency and voltage of the grid. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy are evaluated through simulation and experimental studies. This approach can benefit both the customers and the grid operator, as it facilitates utilizing the batteries of the connected PEVs to supply a portion or all of the active and reactive power demand, hence regulating the frequency and voltage of the grid. The extent to which active and reactive power can be supplied depends on the number of PEVs connected to the local grid. Full article

This paper proposes a centralized-decentralized control strategy for regenerative braking energy utilization and power quality improvement in the modified AC-fed railway system with energy-storage-based smart electrical infrastructure. The proposal of a centralized-decentralized control strategy can enhance the ability to withstand and rapidly recover from disruptions, thus providing further guarantees for safe and reliable operation and energy conservation for railway systems. First of all, the description and control strategy of the modified railway system are outlined, and then the control principles and implementation process of the centralized control and decentralized control strategies are given. Moreover, a method of load power detection and regulated power reference calculation is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified in a case of a modified railway system consisting of four traction substations and eight power supply sections. The results demonstrate that regenerative braking energy can be efficiently utilized in railways and that power quality can be improved using the proposed centralized-decentralized control strategy.

The expansion of electric vehicles made the expansion of charging infrastructure rudimentary to keep up with this developing technology that helps people in a myriad of ways. The main drawback in electric vehicle charging, however, is the time consumed to charge a vehicle. The fast charging of electric vehicles solves this problem thus making it a lucrative technology for consumers. However, the fast charging technology is not without its limitations. In this paper we have identified the technology gaps in EV fast charging stations mostly focused on the extremely fast charging topology. It will help pave a path for researchers to direct their effort in a consolidated manner to contribute to the fast charging infrastructure. A thorough review of all aspects and limitations of existing extremely fast charging (XFC) stations have been identified and supporting data are provided. The importance of DC power network based on free fuel energy sources and silicon carbide-based power electronics are proposed to provide ultra-low cost and ultra-high speed XFC stations. Full article
