Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy storage is a key topic for research, industry and business, gaining ever-more public interest. Technology developments, combined with reductions in cost, have created extraordinary opportunities in both research and industrial applications.
The Workshop on Energy Storage is a multidisciplinary event exploring this exciting world. The workshop program is conceived to provide an overview of this world and a forum to meet and share ideas, comparing different storage solutions (batteries, supercapacitors, SMES, flywheels, thermal storage, chemical storage and so on) and related topics. One of the main aims of this event is to provide a meeting point for people from different environments (researchers, manufacturers, industries, integrators and utilities) both as speakers and as an audience.
This edition of the Workshop is named Frontiers of Energy Storage because it is particularly focused on the unconventional technologies at the two opposite extremes of the storage capabilities:
- Power-Intensive Energy Storage can sustain high power for rapid charge/discharge cycles and peak shaving;
- Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) can support loads for several hours, complementing intermittent renewable sources to increase grid reliability and resilience.
We invite submissions to this Special Issue on the most interesting research and development topics discussed at the Workshop on Energy Storage.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Energy storage;
- Power-intensive energy storage;
- Long-duration energy storage (LDES);
- Hybrid energy storage systems and the integration and combination of different storage solutions;
- Supercapacitor technologies, processes and materials;
- Batteries and related applications;
- Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES);
- Thermal energy storage (TES);
- Flywheels;
- Unconventional storage devices;
- Electrical vehicles and maritime transportations;
- Specific applications requiring energy storage, such as pulsed or long duration loads;
- Experimental techniques for testing, characterization, monitoring and diagnosis of storage devices and systems;
- Tools for modelling and simulation, digital twins, etc.;
- Sizing and optimization algorithms, technical/economical evaluations and market analyses;
- Management and control systems;
- Power electronics, converters, machines and drives for interfacing storage devices;
- Smart grids;
- Power quality;
- Energy transition with integration of renewable sources and clean energies;
- Peak shaving and uninterruptible power supplies;
- Energy harvesting and recovery, including regenerative braking;
- Reliability and safety of storage devices and related 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. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
