Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With potential benefits such as the improvement of energy efficiency, reduction in emission and oil dependence, as well as the support of the green and sustainable development of transportation systems, electric vehicles have gained unprecedented interest from governments, industries, and academia in recent years. A widespread increase in electric vehicle charging potentially brings significant challenges to the power grid. The uncoordinated charging of electric vehicles might adversely impact the power system by increasing the peak load demand and reducing reserve margins, which can cause voltage instability and reliability issues. On the other hand, with vehicle to grid (V2G) technologies, electric vehicles might benefit power grids by supporting peak load leveling and encouraging the more efficient use of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. This Special Issue is seeking contributions regarding the development and application of grid-integrated smart charging and/or V2G strategies that can optimize the benefits and reduce the risks associated with a widespread increase in electric vehicle charging.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Smart charging for electrified passenger vehicles, transit bus systems, delivery systems, freight transport, etc.;
  • Smart charging for a reliable and resilient grid;
  • Smart charging for demand charge mitigation;
  • Vehicle to grid modeling and applications;
  • Economic analysis of smart charging and vehicle to grid;
  • Impact of vehicle to grid on battery life;
  • Smart charging and vehicle to grid for renewable energy integration.

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. 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.

The widespread growth of electric vehicles could pose significant grid and charging infrastructure challenges, especially in areas with underdeveloped infrastructure. This has affected the ease of charging electric vehicles. In this paper, I design a power supply strategy for electric vehicle charging facilities based on wind farm power supply. In this strategy, a preliminary selection of line conductors is carried out, and several schemes are preliminarily determined. Further comparative analysis is made from the three aspects of conductor, tower type, and bus. Through the PowerWorld software, a simulation model is established for each scheme, and an optimal strategy that takes into account economy, security, and system stability is obtained (AAC 31.5 mm double split, tower A and bus 5). This can assist in the transformation of electric vehicle power supply and the construction of wind farm power supply facilities. Full article

Connecting large numbers of electric vehicles to the power grid creates challenges for the operation of the power distribution network, but also provides a new method for supporting grid operation. This paper considers the trip patterns of electric vehicle users in China, including their trip starting time, traffic congestion, vehicle energy consumption, and other factors. We develop a charging–discharging operation strategy for electric vehicles in different functional areas with the goal of minimizing the cost of distribution network, which considers the distribution patterns of electric vehicles in different functional areas. As different types of cities in China have different proportions of electric vehicle users who follow different travel chains, we provide multiple examples showing the effectiveness of our proposed V2G method in different cities.
