Low Carbon Energy in Transportation
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Topic of Energies on the subject area of “Low Carbon Energy in Transportation” which covers a very broad technical scope from low-carbon aircraft, vehicles and ships, through mobile energy storage, energy vectors sources and fuels, multi-modal transport operations, scheduling and systems optimisation, to societal behavioural change, policy, energy economics and governance.
In multidisciplinary terms, the subject ranges include electronic, control and systems engineering, LC vehicle design, materials engineering and physics, energy transmission and conversion, computer and data science and AI, electrical machines and drives, operations research, energy economics and behavioural change, among others. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Novel Electrical Power Systems architectures and technologies;
- Energy vectors, integration with renewables, power and energy dense machines, converters and energy storage;
- Air, land and sea vehicles; electrical propulsion and actuation for land, sea and air vehicles;
- Electrical Machines, Drives, Systems and Applications—AC and DC machines and drives;
- Multiscale systems modelling; remote monitoring and diagnosis;
- Power Electronic Systems—Converters and emerging technologies;
- Modelling simulation and control, reliability and fault tolerance, safety critical operation;
- Electrical Power Generation Systems—Modelling and simulation of electrical power systems;
- Load management; power quality; distribution reliability; distributed and islanded power systems, sensor networks, communication and control;
- Electrical Power Systems Modelling and Control—Modelling and control methodologies and applications;
- Intelligent systems, optimization and advanced heuristics, adaptive systems, robust control;
- Multi-modal transport operations, scheduling and optimisation.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
