As I write this column, the yearly metrics that measure the impact of scientific journals have just been released, and this year, the results somehow stand in contrast for our magazine: its impact factor (IF) dropped two points, to 6.3 (Clarivate), while its CiteScore grew 2.4 points, to 12 (Scopus). To better understand why the IF dropped this year, first, we must remember that an IF is a ratio: the

Dear IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) members,

Power grids are undergoing an epoch-making evolution since many countries, notably those in the European Union, aim at decarbonizing energy in the next decades, namely phasing-out fossil fuel sources and replacing them with renewable energy sources (RESs), in the framework of climate change mitigation and strategic sources independence from importation. Among RESs, hydropower remains the most diffuse

Any modern storage system requires a management unit, which is made up of hardware and software components, to control charge and discharge phases; to ensure the optimal operating conditions, which must be kept within a safe operating area; to monitor system parameters; to quantify its state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH); and to communicate with other systems and with the user. All these

Across all industries, digitalization and automation are on the rise under the Industry 4.0 vision, and the forest industry is no exception. The forest industry depends on distributed flows of raw materials to the industry through various phases, wherein the typical workflow of timber loading and offloading is finding traction in using automation and 5G wireless networking technologies to enhance efficiency

As I mentioned in my last editorial, power electronic converters are going to be ubiquitous in future energy systems. This will result in a much higher controllability of grid operations but also raises serious challenges to cope with. In the last issue we discussed the standardization of power electronics modules through the building blocks approach, which, among other approaches, facilitates their

I want to present in this column the rich activity of our association in areas of which we are very proud because they connect all IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) members. Please let me start with Distinguished Lecturer (DL) program. The DL program aims to strengthen the IES Chapters worldwide by inviting well-known outstanding professionals and recognized experts in their fields of interest

The book gives a comprehensive view of wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, with a special emphasis on the multiple-pickup WPT. A number of applications is also described, including the systems employed in portable consumer electronics, in‐flight charging for unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater wireless charging, and the high‐power electrical vehicle (EV) wireless charging that has been already

Over the last two decades, the application fields of power electronics have significantly grown. This underlying trend is primarily driven by the necessary and drastic reduction in CO 2 emissions to be achieved in the short term at a global scale. This imposes electrifying all types of transportation and entirely rethinking the grid to massively integrate renewable energy and storage systems. Other

The year 2022 has ended, and the year end is always a time of taking summary. In 2022 we returned to relative normality after more than two years of the pandemic. The first event was finally a hybrid and not just an online meeting: the IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics in Anchorage, Alaska. Then, we held an entirely stationary 48th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics

The Multimedia Standing Committee in the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) was conceptualized as a vehicle to enhance the educational mission of the IES. The underlying goal of this committee is to foster new links among practicing engineers, graduate students, and academic/industrial leaders in the technical areas covered by the IES. With this mission in mind, starting in 2020, the Multimedia

Digital communications have a minimum synchronization requirement: the end user of a telecommunication system has to lock into the right bit rhythm sent by the other connection partner. Nevertheless, synchronization in the telecommunication context turns out to be broader than two connection partners locally linked: the suitable feed of a standard time, within many telecommunication domains, has vital

We are currently living in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT) [1] , which has been fostered by the electronic and communications revolution that happened in recent decades. The already great number of devices connected is continuously increasing, while their size and energy consumption keep decreasing. These IoT devices offer network interfaces that allow the interaction between a user/manager

DC grids are believed to be an important contributing technology for energy sustainability. DC grids can increase the penetration of renewable energy resources in electrical networks and enhance the coordinated use of distributed energy storage while improving the efficiency of energy supply as most loads are now dc. For dc grids including photovoltaic energy, constant power loads, and battery storage

One of the main qualities of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) is to be at the crossroads between information and energy technologies. This characteristic makes our Society a great place for innovation. Its 24 technical committees, gathered in four clusters, are replete with talented individuals who are experts in their field. In such a buoyant context, your magazine, through the articles

The year 2022 was very good for the Industrial Electronics Society (IES) as we were able to return to relatively normal operations in our activities after the pandemic period. Also, the IES’s activities for the past years were well accepted in all aspects by the TAB Society and Council Review Committee.

Secondary batteries are rechargeable, unlike primary batteries, which must be disposed of when the electrodes have been consumed after discharge. Due to space limitations, this column focuses only on secondary batteries for mobile applications in portable electronics (PEs) and electric vehicles (EVs), namely batteries in which the electrodes host the energy conversion electrochemical reactions and
