Modeling, Prediction and Management of Charging and Discharging Loads for Electric Vehicle–Grid Interaction under the “Double Carbon” Strategy

Dear Colleagues,

The “double carbon” strategy accelerated the processes of achieving clean energy production, high energy consumption, increasingly uniform energy allocation, and gradually efficient energy use. The profound adjustment of energy pattern will definitely bring significant changes in the future development of the electric power system. In this process, electric vehicles (EVs) are vigorously promoted for their energy-saving and low-carbon advantages. However, the randomness of the load of many EVs connected to the grid will increase the peak-to-valley difference in the grid load, which will lead to serious problems such as tidal current crossing and transformer overload in the distribution network, bringing great challenges to the stable operation of the grid.

Therefore, in order to achieve the orderly charging and discharging management of EVs and to take advantage of the multiple services that they can provide to the power system, it is urgent to explore the charging and discharging load modeling, prediction, and management methods of EVs interacting with the power grid in the context of “double carbon”. How to sort out the complex influencing factors of EV load prediction, deeply explore the flexible regulation potential of EV load, study the use of virtual power plant as an important aggregation means to achieve the orderly management of EV load, and further guide the participation of EVs in energy market and auxiliary service market by means of incentive tariff are important to give a full picture of the advantages of massive EVs in the development of new power systems and energy internet constructions.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. World Electric Vehicle Journal is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
