Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy storage plays a crucial role in ensuring a sustainable power supply in our modern world. With the growing share of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, energy generation has become more intermittent and unpredictable. Energy storage systems act as a crucial bridge between energy production and consumption. As we strive for a greener and more sustainable future, energy storage technologies will continue to evolve, which is vital to ensuring a reliable and eco-friendly power supply for future generations.

This Special Issue aims to include cutting-edge research in the field of all forms of energy storage and conversion systems and sustainable power supply.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Energy storage;
  • Energy conversion;
  • Sustainable power supply;
  • Renewable energy;
  • Power generation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.

The imperative to combat climate change necessitates the rapid implementation of technologically advanced, zero-emission renewable energy solutions, particularly considering the mounting energy demands and the pressing need to mitigate global warming. The proposed SOFC system, integrated with a modified Rankine Cycle and CCUS technology, offers a highly efficient, renewable system with a net-zero carbon footprint, utilising green biogas as an alternative. The fully integrated system at continuous operation does not require outside heat sources and, besides, its main electricity production can supply 231 households with hot sanitary water. A base case and sensitivity analysis of the system was conducted studying different operating parameters. The base case simulation, conducted at SOFC/reformer operating temperatures of 850 °C/650 °C and operating parameters S/C = 2.5, Uf = 0.70 Ua = 0.1806, yielded an overall efficiency of 71.64%, with a 67.70% electrical efficiency. Further simulations demonstrated that a 1.60% and 1.53% increase in the overall and electrical efficiencies of the proposed alternative, respectively, would be achieved at SOFC/reformer operating temperatures of 950 °C/650 °C. The simulated hybrid system represents a competitive installation in the renewable energy market, which offers a viable and sustainable alternative to traditional forms of energy generation.
