Emerging Trends in Electric Vehicles, Smart Grids and Smart Cities
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, EVs, SGs, energy storage, and smart cities have been gathering pace throughout the world, and advanced technologies have been introduced in the sustainable and reliable power grids for the optimal utilization of SGs and EVs for smart cities. The large-scale penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and EVs has presented profound challenges and opportunities to the power industry. The inherent variability and uncertainty associated with RESs have changed several aspects of the control, operation, and planning of power networks. However, the growing penetration of renewable energy resources and electric vehicles will bring more complexity to operation and planning tasks, which play an important role in a gradual transition of the traditional power grid to the smart grid—a driver for the development of smart cities. Smart cities rely on widely distributed smart devices, and they are designed to address various challenges, such as pollution, efficient utilization of energy, security, pollution, parking, traffic, and transportation. We would like to invite submissions to this Topic titled “Emerging Trends in Electric Vehicles, Smart Grids, and Smart Cities” to collect the latest developments, advanced technologies, and applications in these fields. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Electric vehicle planning and operation in the smart grid
- Smart grid and smart cities modeling
- Modeling flexibility of distributed energy resources
- Smart grid and green energy integration
- Distributed generation and distributed storage
- Electricity market modeling and simulation for the integration of renewable sources
- The Internet of Things (IoT) for smart cities
- Energy management system in smart distribution grids
- Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in smart grid and smart cities revolution
- Smart grid technology and solutions for smart cities
