Control, Estimation, Management and Fault Diagnosis of Electrical Vehicles Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The transport sector is one of the main consumers of fossil fuel, and hence a major contributor to the EU’s total greenhouse gas emission, accounting for 23% of total greenhouse (GHG) emission as of 2015. It is currently the only sector to continue showing increasing GHG emissions leading to severe impact on the environment, such as air pollution, noise resource use and waste, and climate change. In this context, manufacturers are now willing to face the challenge of developing a mass market with existing electric vehicle technologies, as well as investing in new technologies to overcome infrastructural barriers.

This Special Issue of Energies will provide an up-to-date overview of the challenges on the control and estimation of electric vehicle components and offer advanced solutions to the challenges in control, estimation, and management.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:   

• State-of-the-art reviews on control and estimation for EV applications;
• Control, estimation, and fault diagnosis of power train;
• Control power of converters: inverters, bidirectional DC/DC converters, and onboard chargers;
• Energy optimization and management in electrified vehicles;
• Battery modelling, state estimation, and battery management system;
• hybrid electric vehicle energy storage system;
• V2G applications;
• Microgrids

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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.
