Modelling, Simulation and Analysis of Electric Vehicle System in Microgrids

Dear Colleagues,

The penetration of distributed energy resources based on converters interfaced in the microgrid is considered a future solution to deliver clean renewable energy close to the end user. One of the major advantages of the microgrid is the ability of the system to feed several loads that are located at different locations in an islanded mode to increase the reliability of the system during a power outage. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are used for transportation only a very small percentage of the day. The rest of the day, and while they are parked in EV parking stations, they are either charging or just present there. During this parking time and given the statistical studies on massive rise of EV sales and the installment of their infrastructure, they could be used to support the microgrid by supplying active and reactive power, especially in emergency conditions. Also, the rapid development of skid control safety applications in EV and modern vehicles calls for a more detailed assessment of the application-related design parameters are representing a main challenge to design suitable EV system. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on: (1) novel designs, modeling , and analysis of Electric Vehicles to increase the resiliency and stability of the microgrids; and (2) new developments of applying EV’s control, protection and optimization techniques into the electric system.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1400 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.
