MISSION STATEMENT: 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 offgrid 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.
