Abstract
In the 10 years since I founded this magazine, it has grown both in depth and breadth. Electrification has now become synonymous with decarbonization, which is a major tool in addressing climate change. As the society moves away from using fossil fuel for end-use applications, like internal combustion engines, boilers and furnaces for space heating, gas water heating, and gas cooking stoves, etc., electrification becomes the preferred alternative. But heavy electrification comes with its own challenges, which I will discuss in the following.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Electrification Magazine is dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications. Microgrids refer to an electric network in a car, a ship, a plane or an electric train, which has a limited number of sources and multiple loads. Off-grid applications include small scale electricity supply 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, and social concerns.
