Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Heat Transfer Analysis and Optimization in Thermal Energy Storage”. Facing the challenge of carbon neutrality, energy storage is one of the key technologies to improve the energy system's flexibility and incorporate more renewable energy. Among different energy storage techniques, thermal energy storage is currently the most mature and affordable one, and hence, understanding it and further optimizing it are crucial to promote its applications.
This Special Issue aims to deal with novel analysis and optimization studies for thermal energy storage-related devices and systems. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Thermal energy storage analysis method;
- Experimental and numerical studies on thermal energy device design and optimization;
- Topology optimization of energy storage devices;
- Novel thermal energy storage materials development, characterization, and preparation;
- Heat transfer in thermochemical energy storage technology;
- Renewable energy utilization and thermal energy storage;
- Energy system dispatch optimization considering thermal energy devices;
- Thermal management of electronic devices and batteries with thermal energy storage;
- Machine learning methods in thermal energy storage.

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.
