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: https://cistem2022.sciencesconf.org/).
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 "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.

Call for Papers - Topical Issue on "Characterization and modeling of the subsurface in the context of ecological transition"

The subsurface fulfills specific functions within the framework of the ecological transition. It is a storage space at different time horizons (CO2, H2, biogas, etc.), it is a source of geothermal energy and metals from hydrothermalism, it is also a strategic area because it contains a large part of drinking water reserves. Its sustainable exploitation requires an adaptation of methods, methodologies and skills in subsurface sciences. This STET special issue brings together a set of articles presenting research work devoted to methods and tools for characterizing and modeling the subsurface in the context of a sustainable use of this strategic area.
