Special Issue Information

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.

This paper proposes a decentralized control approach using a co-simulation platform to monitor protective elements and provide complete protection scheme for distribution systems. Real time measurements are obtained by interfacing the system model in RSCAD/RTDS with SEL 421 protective relays and publish/subscribe the voltage and current signals of the buses and transmission lines based on IEC 61850 communication protocol to isolate the fault correctly. The proposed technique helps to identify the location of the fault and introduces primary and buck protection for the system. The communication networks assists in facing cyber and physical threats and finding a new path for healthy relays to remove faults from the system. This technique is investigated on an IEEE 14 bus system for all possible fault locations. The proposed scheme can clear the fault by isolating the minimum part of the system and improving the endurance of the power in it. The system shows the smooth information flow between the cyber and physical parts to isolate faults in it in different cases. Full article

The rapid development of skid control safety applications in Electric Vehicles and modern vehicles calls for a more detailed assessment of the application-related design parameters. One of the main significant parameters in the design of such applications is the skid number threshold. The tire-road skid number is one of the most important variables that influences the sliding control system in modern vehicles. Most of the available studies in the academic literature have focused on testing the sliding mode controller based on estimating the driving forces of vehicles. However, the design of skid control application based on the pavement surface skid conditions is yet to be investigated. In order to fill the gap, this paper proposes a set of British Pendulum Numbers (BPN) for roadway surface treatments under two different weather conditions to enhance the design of the skid control application. The study results concluded that it is critical to accommodate for the lowest skid numbers range between BPN 22.63 and 31.94 for the sand treatment under snow pavement surface and the fog treatment under dry pavement surface, respectively. The results of this study can be beneficial to the automotive industry and transportation agencies when deciding to fine-tune the parameters of the skid control applications in modern vehicle technologies.
