Call For Papers

“Vehicle to Grid” (or so-called V2G) is a vehicle-grid integration technology, that allows a car battery to be charged and discharged as energy production or consumption. V2G vehicles can mitigate the climate change by allowing energy systems to balance and stabilize the grid with more renewable energy resources. Currently, plug-in electric vehicles are unidirectional energy systems, in which electrical machines and actuators are acting as loads or energy consumers. Developing bidirectional electrical machines and actuators would allow electrified transports to reduce CO2 emissions significantly, or even more effectively tackle challenges in smart grid stabilization and efficiency.

Unlike conventional electric vehicles, V2G electrical machines must be designed to work effectively in both consumption and production modes. Further, grid-integrated V2G vehicles must be sufficiently reliable under overloading, external stresses or faulty conditions. Therefore, enhanced fault-tolerant capability, lifetime expectation, efficiency and protections in bidirectional operations are of great interest in developing V2G vehicles.

This special session aims to identify, address and disseminate state-of-the-art research work on modeling, design, optimization and health assessment of electrical machines and electromagnetic actuators for V2G technology.

The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
• Modelling and design of high-performance electric machines, and bidirectional power converters for vehicle grid integration.
• Modelling, design and optimization of electromagnetic actuators for power grid protection devices.
• Condition monitoring of hybrid/bidirectional electric machines, electromagnetic actuators, and power electronics converters.
