Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are progressively used for enhancing the performance of energy networks. Moreover, BESSs are used for supporting renewables integration, both in large scale and in residential applications.
BESSs are playing the role of efficient, flexible, and fast-reacting energy buffers, which allow for the decoupling of energy production and consumption in short to medium time frames. This is becoming especially important with the increasing penetration of volatile renewables and the appearance of new types of loads (e.g., EV charging, heat pumps, etc.).
Therefore, this Special Issue is focused on recent progress and developments in large-scale and residential battery energy storage systems for renewables integration and grid support applications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Field experiences from the operation of large-scale and residential BESS for various applications;
- New architectures of BESS;
- Smart methods of BESS optimal management and control;
- Emerging applications and business opportunities for BESS;
- Thermal management of BESS;
- Safety management, compliance with safety codes and standards;
- BESS diagnostics and prognostics.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
