Call for Papers - Topical Issue on "Emerging Advances in Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems and Integration"

Recently, the whole world is concerned about meeting the future energy demands due to the limited amount of resources available and also since those resources cannot be replenished. In spite of the existence of renewable energy ideas over a long period of time, its importance and need has been felt with utmost attention over the past few decades only. Advancements in energy systems has led to the development of off-grid and hybrid renewable energy systems. One common form of hybrid energy source is the integration of wind energy source with Photo Voltaic (PV) cells in both on-grid and off-grids. But these hybrid energy systems pose various challenges in the setup, generation, and integration part. In spite of the abundance and renewable nature of wind energy, it is unpredictable and highly variable depending on the location. These challenges are often offset by the provision of backup generators and batteries. Hybrid energy systems are an excellent solution to solving intermittent supply and reliability issues by combining two parallel power architectures.

Call for Papers - Topical Issue on "Power Components For Electric Vehicles"

This topical issue of the journal STET gathers a selection of articles extended following their publication, in October 2022, at the International Conference on Electrical Sciences and Technologies in the Maghreb (CISTEM)
The treated topics concern, particularly, two types of power components embedded in electric vehicles.
Concerning the first theme, several aspects are treated in this issue. The design and optimization of the electromagnetic structure of the electric machine by an approach of type "topological optimization" where the authors apply this method to the rotor of a flux-commutated machine. The authors deal with the optimization of electric machines by approaching the method of topological optimization or L the optimization of their power supply of the machine is also addressed in the presence of magnetic saturations. In terms of methodology, a contribution deals with the contribution of meta-models in the optimization of the operating cycle of a machine. In the case of optimization on a road cycle, by the approach of metamodels. Other authors present methods to take into account uncertainties in the context of geometrical optimizations or high frequency behavior of electrical machines.Concerning the second theme, the authors cover the electric recharging of vehicles by modeling the behavior of Li-ion batteries or that of the charger or finally by treating the technique of contactless charging.

Call for Papers - Topical Issue on "Decarbonizing Energy Systems: Smart Grid and Renewable Technologies"

As traditional energy sources dwindle, the world is turning towards renewable energy sources (RES) to address climate change and promote social and economic development. Decarbonizing energy systems is crucial to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Smart grid and renewable technologies are critical in the transition towards a low-carbon future by enabling the integration of RES into the grid and enhancing energy efficiency. This special issue aims to highlight the latest developments in smart grid and renewable technologies, providing a comprehensive overview of their potential and future prospects in decarbonizing energy systems. Submit your paper here.

This special issue of the journal of Science and Technology for Energy Transition (STET) focuses on:

1. Renewable energy integration into smart grids
2. Advanced renewable energy technologies and their impact on decarbonization
3. Energy storage solutions for renewable energy systems
4. Smart grid modeling, control, and optimization
5. Energy policy, regulations, and market design for decarbonization
6. Decentralized energy systems and microgrids
7. Electric vehicles and their role in decarbonizing energy systems

Call for Papers - Topical Issue on "Synthesis and characterisation of porous materials for clean energy applications"

Materials with tunable porosity are essential in science and technology. Many current applications such purification or catalysis require the use of nanostructured porous materials with specific pore shape (volume, cage aperture…). Nowadays, environmental concern is a top priority for many countries and the production of clean energy will become mandatory. New challenges and new needs arise from this ecological transition and porous materials will play an important role to decarbonize our energy production.
This special issue of the journal of Science and Technology for Energy Transition (STET) focuses on the synthesis and characterisation of porous materials and on their applications in the field of “clean energies” (depollution, CO2 capture, hydrogen purification/storage, energy storage/production…). Research papers, reviews and short communications are welcome until May 2023.
