Handbook on New Paradigms in Smart Charging for E-Mobility: Global Trends, Policies, and Practices

Handbook on New Paradigms in Smart Charging for E-Mobility: Global Trends, Policies and Practices provides a complete package for understanding and developing smart chargers for e-mobility applications. It discusses various concepts required for developing charging infrastructure and usage of different kinds of storage technologies, power electronics converters, controllers, communication requirements, grid infrastructure, sustainable technologies, policy frameworks, and all other related crucial aspects of E-mobility. Each part of the book covers a subdomain of e-mobility, beginning with an introductory chapter reviewing existing literature; the subsequent chapters are arranged to each follow the previous one. Other available books focus on specific technical subdomains of e-mobility, but none provides the wider outlook to meet the requirements of all audiences. This book uniquely brings together topics that are not otherwise easily accessible or available to these audiences. This book will be beneficial for engineers, scientists, and researchers, providing them with a comprehensive standard benchmark work to explore the evolving aspects of charging infrastructure for e-mobility. Further, it will also help policymakers, practitioners and government entities formulate policies for successful implementations of e-motility for their masses. The techno-socio-economic focus will serve as standard literature for all.
