Battery Energy Storage Systems: Application in Power Electronics and Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The ever-increasing demand of energy in different sectors has made different societies face a big challenge. The ever-increasing energy consumption has made it necessary to produce as much as possible. At the same time, the necessary tools for energy production are facing many problems. The output of some resources fluctuates a great deal in daily, monthly, and yearly periods. All at once, the amount of demand in renewable sources may also change on daily, monthly, and yearly bases. From this point of view, we need a method to store energy great capacity and use the stored energy in times of shortage. Even today, energy can be stored at a high capacity. There are many energy storage methods which are known as energy storage systems (ESSs). Some of these energy storage devices have the ability to store the energy required by the power system. Today, energy storage is at a high level. Among the electrochemical energy storage systems widely used today are rechargeable batteries. A battery is a portable energy source that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are systems that have the ability to charge and discharge and act as a load during charging and as an energy producer during discharge. Battery energy storage systems have high efficiency and are centralized, and these systems are easy to install and have centralized applications. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present manuscripts indicating the use of different kinds of batteries, such as VRLA, alkaline batteries, carbon zinc batteries, silver oxide batteries, and zinc air batteries as BESS in different power systems and power electronics.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
