Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to extend a warm invitation to all colleagues who would like to submit their research papers to this Special Issue of Energies, entitled “Electric Propulsion and Energy Generation Systems”.

Electric propulsion and renewable energy generation systems represent feasible and attractive solutions for the reduction of fossil fuel dependency, with related impacts on environment and global warming.

The transition towards these kinds of systems calls for new challenges, related to the development of innovative technologies, modelling techniques and optimal control strategies in the fields of energy storage systems and power electronics, in order to enhance the performance of these systems and support their optimal integration with the existing power infrastructure, in the emerging smart grid scenario.

This Special Issue will address these topics as well as advancements in conductive/inductive vehicle charging technologies, MPPT methods for PV systems, management of distributed energy systems in supporting grid voltage/frequency regulation.

All types of research approaches are equally acceptable: experimental, theoretical, computational, and combinations of any of these.

Dr. Clemente Capasso
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

The aerodynamic performance improvement of radial impellers is of positive significance to improve the overall performance of hydrogen fuel cell systems (FCS). Our team proposes a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) surface parameterization method for the global automatic optimization of radial impeller aerodynamics. The MDOF surface parameterization is characterized by fewer variables, construction ease, smoothness, good flexibility, and blade strength maintenance. In this paper, a radial impeller for a 100-kW fuel cell stack is optimized, showing the isentropic efficiency increase of 0.7%, the flow rate increase of 3.77%, and the total pressure ratio increase of 0.37%. The results revealed that the performance of the optimized radial impeller significantly improved, verifying the validity and reliability of the proposed novel design optimization method and providing technical support and methodological research of radial impeller aerodynamic optimization for hydrogen FCS.
