Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to reduce global warming and carbon dioxide emissions, the number of electric vehicles is increasing along with the spread of new renewable energy sources around the world. Accordingly, various charging facilities are being expanded in the existing power system to handle the charging load of electric vehicles. However, due to capacity limitations in the existing power system, it is difficult to install fast electric vehicle chargers. To solve this, renewable energy and energy storage systems are integrated using micro-grids. Meanwhile, research has recently been conducted to utilize electric vehicle charging stations as a VPP resource by using the discharge function of electric vehicles and renewable energy. As the paradigm changes from the existing centralized power structure to a distributed one, various services for electric vehicle charging stations that combine renewable energy and various energy sources are expected.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest developments related to the theory, design, modeling, application, control, and condition monitoring of distributed energy resources and electric vehicle charging stations.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- All aspects of electric vehicle charging stations;
- Micro-grids;
- Renewable energy;
- Battery energy storage systems;
- Electric vehicles;
- Power conversion systems;
- Control systems;
- Advanced modeling approaches;
- Virtual Power Plants;
- Electric vehicles;
- Distribution networks.
