Energy Storage and Electric Power Systems: Theory, Methods, and Applications—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The fast growth of renewables brings new design and operational challenges to the energy transition, working towards a 100% renewable energy goal, and Europe has an ambitious target to decarbonize. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we investigate the role of electricity storage systems in the rapid rise of renewable energy resources and the steady fall of fossil fuels in power systems with large-scale wind and PV integration.

Different energy storage technologies, such as compressed-air energy storage, hydro-pumped storage, sodium–sulfur batteries, electrical cars or ships, hydrogen, fuel cells, and desalination, may be included in this Special Issue. Here, we focus on theory, methods and applications of storage systems combined with renewable energy sources. Integration and economic issues could also be addressed. Specific case studies, best practices, technical solutions and technoeconomic assessments may be analyzed or presented.
