Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of microgrids allows more flexible charging/discharging of electric vehicles (EVs), and using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) gives EVs a new role. V2G refers to the power provider company or aggregator to control and manage the electric vehicle (EV) load through the communication between the EV and the power public grid. EVs with V2G function can provide energy back to the public power grid. Electricity companies will be willing to purchase electricity from clients during periods of peak power consumption or use the capacity of electric vehicles’ batteries to assist the public grid, such as load balancing or grid frequency control. Recently, the popularity of EVs has brought about a revolutionary change to the power public grid. EVs can be viewed as distributed energy storage, because EVs can charge and discharge into the public power grid using V2G technology (this technology also maximizes the integration of renewable energy sources). The main advantages of V2G include ancillary services, active power support, reactive power compensation and renewable energy resource support.
This Special Issue will focus on charging/discharging electric vehicles via microgrids, including vehicle-to-grid technology. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New challenges and opportunities
- Electric vehicle charging/discharging technology
- Microgrids, renewable energy, storage systems, power public grid connection, demand-response
- Vehicle-to-grid technology
- Design and modeling of infrastructures
- Control and energy management strategies

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
