Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Future planning and innovation for energy refilling infrastructures are important prerequisites for the sustainable development of transportation systems. However, at present, whether from the overall purchase demand and daily use behavior of consumers, or from the spatial and temporal distribution of energy demand and refilling. It shows multidimensional uncertainty, which intensifies the vulnerability of energy refilling and the road network system, seriously affects the sustainable development of transportation system. As a result, the planning of energy refilling infrastructure of transportation system has become a typical complex problem. Forward-looking planning and innovation can better guide the vehicle to contribute to the development of sustainable transportation system. However, the planning and innovation of energy refilling infrastructure of transportation faces many uncertain factors. There is less research on the planning objectives, planning methods, and main contents of energy refilling infrastructure of transportation, and there is no unified cognition in the academic field. This Special Issue aims to disseminate the latest research related to future planning and innovation of energy refilling infrastructures in sustainable transport systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Influencing factors of energy refilling infrastructure planning in transportation system;
- Planning method of energy refilling infrastructure in transportation system;
- Energy refilling infrastructure-transportation system integration planning;
- Planning of energy structure of transportation system;
- Interaction mechanism between electric vehicles and power grid and coordinated charging and discharging modelling;
- Energy and information interaction and control of flexible resources (new energy, charging facilities of electric vehicles, etc.) in the power grid.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
