IEEE Electrification Magazine is dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications, including electrification of remote communities and decarbonization strategies. Microgrids refer to electric networks in a car, a ship, a plane or an electric train, which have a limited number of sources and multiple types of loads as well as off-grid applications that include small scale multi-carrier energy systems supplying electricity and heat in areas away from high voltage power networks. Feature articles focus on advanced concepts, technologies, and practices associated with all aspects of electrification in the transportation and off-grid sectors from a technical perspective in synergy with nontechnical areas such as business, environmental, social and policy topics.
