Special Issue Information
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.

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.
