Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

As Guest Editor, I cordially invite you to submit a manuscript for possible publication in a Special Issue on “Investigating of Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles” to be published in Energies (MDPI, impact factor (IF) 2.702). This Special Issue endeavors to create a major forum for investigating recent advances and the envisioned future in wireless power transfer for electric vehicles in terms of modeling, design, performance, operation, policy, control, implementation, storage, electric machines, power electronics converters, optimization, cost, charging techniques, human exposure, and applications.

More substantial research is proposed due to the fast-growing market for electric vehicles, and recent advances in wireless power transfer techniques have the potential to make this technology available for all consumers by overcoming its drawbacks. For instance, one of the major downsides with EVs is the requirement for the automobile to be idle during charging times. This problem can be solved by implementing dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) with a higher Power Transfer Efficiency (PTE). The objective of this Special Issue is to publish the most recent technological advancements and theoretical and practical research outcomes, alongside high-quality literature review papers on wireless power transfer to charge electric vehicles.

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

• Challenges and control in EV wireless charging.
• Investigations into Wi-Fi communication for EV wireless charging.
• Modeling and analysis of wireless power transfer.
• Wireless power transfer topologies.
• Design, simulation, and implementation of converters for EV wireless charging.
• Investigations into vehicle-to-grid (V2G) possibilities/smart wireless charging.
• Foreign object detection for dynamic wireless charging of EV.
• Vehicle alignment systems for wireless chargers.
• Multi-objective optimization for dynamic wireless charging.
• Wireless powered ultra-high-speed trains.
• Dynamic wireless charging systems.
• Electric vehicle wireless charging policy.
• WPT Human exposure effects.  
• Design of magnetic coupling stages for wireless power transfer.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
