Advanced Energy and Propulsion Technology for Electric and Intelligent Transportation
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fossil fuels, due to their significant contribution to CO2 emissions, pose a substantial threat to the Earth’s ecosystem. As a result, many countries have set carbon-neutral targets and are transitioning towards sustainable, reliable, efficient, cost-effective, and ecofriendly energy sources. Studies reveal that transportation is a significant contributor, accounting for about 22% of global CO2 emissions in 2020. This has led to a push for electrification of transportation to reduce pollutants and prepare for the eventual depletion of fossil fuels. Consequently, green, low-carbon, environmentally conscious, and smart transportation technologies are now popular research subjects, including high-speed maglev trains, electric cars, ships, airplanes, and urban rail transit vehicles. Key technologies that support this movement include power electronics, new motor and transmission types, energy storage, and new energy. Considering the context of carbon neutrality, discussing the advancement of electrified transportation technology is crucial.
This Topic seeks outstanding and superior contributions related to “Advanced Energy and Propulsion Technology for Electric and Intelligent Transportation”, covering a wide variety of fields, including but not restricted to the following:
- Electric machines and their drive system for electrified transportation applications;
- Advanced electromechanical powertrains, system integration;
- Advanced cooling techniques and thermal management;
- Multiphysics coupled simulation and optimization;
- Batteries, energy storage systems, electronic controls, management, and packaging.
