Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploitation of renewable sources—unlimited and clean—can reduce the use of fossil sources and the derived environmental impacts. Nevertheless, renewable sources present several drawbacks, such as intermittent operation, meteorological instability, and low energy density. Therefore, to cope with these issues, it is often necessary to integrate an energy storage system to balance supply and demand, thereby enhancing the reliability of renewable energy sources like solar and wind and improving the efficiency of energy use across various sectors.
Several types of energy storage systems (ESSs) are used for integration with renewable energy systems, such as such as batteries, capacitors, thermal storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheels, and hydrogen storage systems.
Currently, the development and optimization of energy storage technologies to increase energy density, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase useful life represents one of the most promising research fields for the efficient use of energy and consumption reduction, with significant economic and environmental repercussions.
This Special Issue provides a platform for publishing and sharing novel, inspiring, and promising research on energy storage systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Electrochemical energy storage, i.e., battery, flow battery, flexi battery, etc.
- Thermal energy storage, i.e., sensible, latent, thermochemical, etc.
- Mechanical energy storage, i.e., pumped hydro, compressed air, flywheels, etc.
- Chemical energy storage, i.e., hydrogen, synthetic natural gas storage, etc.
- Electrical energy storage, i.e., electrostatic, capacitor, supercapacitors, etc.
- Hybrid storage system.
- Modelling and experimentation.
- Optimization and control strategies.
- Applications, i.e., heating, cooling, power generation, hydrogen, etc.
- Life cycle costing and life cycle assessment analysis.
- Energy, exergy, economic, and environmental analysis.
As Guest Editors, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, analytical research, and assessment works from different disciplines that are relevant to energy storage systems.

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.
