Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
About half of energy consumption in civil use and industrial processes occurs in the form of thermal energy and its production is extremely variable, both over the same day and on various days throughout the year. In addition, the intermittent supply and the variable power represent serious limits in the exploitation of most energy sources, and this is particularly evident for renewable energies. In addition, there is increasing use of polygeneration systems (fossil, solar, geothermal harvesting, etc.) which require the integration, equalization, and management of the produced thermal energy to function correctly and for their future development. It is important to underline how the research in this sector involves aspects ranging from heat exchange to the study of materials, from maintaining energy storage to the safety of these systems, from loading and unloading methods of thermal energy to control and management systems from optimization methods to designing expert systems that can integrate all these aspects.
This Special Issue will focus on but is not limited to the following topics:
- Heat transfer enhancement in thermal energy storage (TES)
- High-temperature thermal energy storage (TES)
- Medium and low-temperature thermal energy storage
- SHTES (sensible heat thermal energy storage)
- LHTES (latent heat thermal energy storage)
- Thermochemical energy storage systems
- Integration of energy systems with polygeneration and TES control
- Control and management of TES systems for thermal energy efficiency
- Innovative materials for TES Systems (conventional, composite, etc.)
- Thermal energy management and economic aspects of TSE Systems
- Security and management of TES systems
- Optimization criteria of the thermal energy storage and management
- TES integration in smart grid technology

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. Applied Sciences 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.
