CALL FOR PAPERS
for Special Section on
“Electric Vehicles as Smart Grid Enablers”
The Theme: Incentives to minimize the carbon footprint in transportation have been driving an ever-increasing promotion of research
on Electric Vehicles (EVs) both at academic and development levels. The effect of EVs on Power Systems is due to their double-role as
mobility devices on one hand and a form of substantial distributed energy storage on the other. Numerous challenges as also opportunities
can be identified, if this role of EVs is combined in light of massive fleets of them in motion during daytime and stationary at various
charging points during daytime and nighttime. The prospect of exploiting EVs as means of realizing Smart Grid applications, paradigms
and control is particularly realistic, since they may be controlled and monitored accordingly. This call seeks to address the contribution,
effect and prospects of considering fleets of EVs throughout an electric power system and how the impact of their behavior or exploitation
may be realized in the best possible way for all involved parties. In particular, the special section will be focusing on (but not limited to)
the following topics:
