MDPI - Special Issue "Microgrids for E-mobility: Electrical Machines and Drives, Power Conversion and Energy Management"

Dear Colleagues, We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with your latest research on microgrids for e-mobility. Pollution reduction is one of the biggest challenges of this century, since the energy growing demand affects the increase of the use of petroleum and carbon fossil fuel. A socially widespread prosperity is sustainable only by reducing the energy waste or by increasing the efficiency of each link of the supply chain from production to the user. In recent years, microgrids have been considered as the solution for e-mobility and also for civil energy production, since they allow optimizing the power density and efficiency of electrical devices, thus limiting their peak power and consequently optimizing their storage use. Several commercial realizations confirm that the field covers both the interests of the research community and the industry. The scope of the proposed Special Issue is to define the state-of-the-art for e-mobility microgrids, in order to give to readers the opportunity to select the best solution for their own applications. This Special Issue invites original papers on but not limited to: 1) Microgrid and subsystem modeling; 2) Hardware in the loop methods with physical validation and tests; 3) Electrical generators, motor and drive design and testing; 4) Power electronic converter modeling and testing; 5) Energy management strategies and techniques; 6) Microgrid reliability and availability; 7) Fault detection.
