Advancements in Smart Electric Mobility Systems: Integration of Renewable Energy and Energy Storage—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In the field of Smart Electric Mobility Systems, the seamless integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) and efficient energy storage technologies heralds a promising era of sustainable transportation. This Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art research and developments in the field of Smart Electric Mobility Systems, seeking to optimize the synergy between renewable energy generation and energy storage, paving the way for greener and more resilient mobility solutions. Topics of interest include the development of devices, models, control strategies, and system architectures for the integration of different mobility infrastructures with Renewable Energy Sources (RESs), Battery Electric Storage Systems (BESSs), and the grid. In addition, emphasis will be given to the development of sustainable materials for energy storage and conversion and integrated photovoltaics, focusing on aspects such as safety, second life, and recyclability. In the landscape of smart electric mobility, devising a smart charging strategy is pivotal for maximizing the utilization of renewable energy and energy storage systems. By dynamically adjusting charging schedules based on factors like energy availability, demand fluctuations, and grid conditions, such strategies aim to enhance efficiency, minimize costs, and reduce the environmental footprint of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Contributions related to smart charging strategies are also welcome.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Smart Electric Mobility Systems;
• Renewable Energy Sources;
• Battery Electric Storage Systems;
• Sustainable materials for the system components;
• Grid integration;
• Smart charging strategies;
• Recyclability;
• The techno-economic investigation of EV infrastructures fed by RES.
