Energy Management, Control, and System Architectures for Electric Vehicle Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of  “Energy Management, Control, and System Architectures for Electric Vehicle Applications”.

Electric vehicles play an important role in reducing fuel consumption and emissions with advanced control technologies. As critical parts of electric vehicles, energy management and control are important issues in order to achieve better performances. Furthermore, advances in system level modeling, simulations, charge/discharge techniques, power conversion techniques, and the Internet of vehicles will be hot topics in the research field.

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

• Novel vehicular electrical power systems architectures and technologies;
• Advanced energy storage technologies;
• Battery management systems, charging and discharging techniques;
• Vehicle to grid, vehicle to building interactions and control;
• Modeling and control of electric vehicles;
• Power electronic systems- converters and emerging technologies;
• Modeling simulation and control, reliability and fault tolerance, safety critical operation;
• Load management; power quality; distribution reliability; distributed and islanded power systems, sensor networks, communication and control;
• Intelligent systems; optimization and advanced heuristics; adaptive systems; robust control.
• Internet of vehicles

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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.
