Advances in Electrical Systems for Environmental and Human Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions has led to the development of advanced electrical systems that can effectively manage and optimize PV, energy storage, and WPT systems. One crucial aspect of this is the modeling and simulation of these kinds of systems, which are widely used in electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Another important aspect is the modeling of battery behavior that is essential for predicting performance, estimating capacity and voltage, and ensuring safe and efficient operation. The importance of these advances in electrical systems for environmental and human sustainability cannot be overstated. The use of sustainable energy solutions is critical for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Continued research and innovation in this field will lead to further advancements in battery technology, and sustainable energy storage solutions, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the latest advances in research on wireless power transfer (WPT), photovoltaic (PV) systems, battery storage, electrical vehicles, and artificial intelligence (AI). These are all critical components of modern power systems, and their continued development is essential for ensuring the efficient and sustainable generation, distribution, and consumption of electrical energy.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• Wireless power transfer system;
• Power system stability;
• Renewable energy system;
• Load forecasting;
• Electrical vehicles;
• Demand side management;
• Power system planning and operation;
• State-of-the-art batteries and battery management technologies;
• Vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid interactions;
• Artificial intelligence applied to PV or battery system.

There are various approaches and viewpoints that can be taken when studying these subjects. Any papers that explore the above applications are considered. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
