Abstract

Research in energy storage systems (ESSs), such as batteries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels, is essential to foster the use of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the future development of electric transportation (E-transportation). RESs are characterized by intermittences and they cannot be dispatched as conventional energy resources. ESSs are the key technology to solve this problem, thus increasing the penetration of RESs in the utility grid. ESSs are also essential components to improve the performance of microgrids and are an enabling technology for smart grid operation. Major challenges are the design of high-performance and cost-effective ESSs, which can safely meet the energy and power demand throughout the expected lifetime. This “Special Section on Modeling, Control, and Integration of Energy Storage Systems in E-Transportation and Smart Grid” of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS collects 24 research papers, discussing innovative solutions for the design and management of ESSs, as well as the required power electronics interface and control systems for their effective integration into utility grids and E-transportation.
