Next Generation Energy and Propulsion Systems for Transportation Electrification

Dear Colleagues,

Electrified transportation has been an urgent mission for enabling a carbon neural society in the near future. The revolution of e-mobility has witnessed the booming development of emerging technologies such as new energy vehicles, electric aircraft, electric ships, etc. Therefore, cutting-edge products are frequently available for next-generation energy and propulsion systems of e-mobility, including solid-state batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and new structural electric machines. This way, advanced design and energy management of next-generation energy and propulsion systems will definitely benefit the transportation electrification process.

Within this scope, battery, fuel cell, and electric motor technologies and their applications are critical for the transportation revolution. This Special Issue solicits papers on new research achievements in the recently emerging and cross-disciplinary field of enabling energy management and propulsion system control for e-mobilities. Topics of interest of this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

• Advanced battery thermal/energy management system design and applications;
• Fuel cell, batteries, and electric machine modelling;
• Advanced control, fault diagnosis, and performance analysis of fuel cell, batteries, and electric machines;
• Power converters for energy and propulsion systems;
• Microgrids in electrified transportation systems;
• Management of interactions between electric vehicles and grids;
• Hardware in the loop of the energy and propulsion system for transportation;
• Fast charge for energy supply in electrified systems;
• Hybrid energy systems for e-mobility.
