Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy storage is gaining in importance. As investments related to renewable energy sources continue to increase, more and more disproportions between the demand and the production of electricity arise. Energy storage can be local (i.e., it can be carried out directly at the energy producer) or area-based (i.e. cover most of the area). Battery solutions work better on smaller scales, while on a larger scale, technologies such as liquid air energy storage and compressed air energy storage can be considered. Hydrogen storage is also worth mentioning, as it is a technology that is quite easily scalable, and the hydrogen energy carrier can be used in several different ways (e.g., for vehicle propulsion). One solution that is becoming increasingly popular is hybrid energy storage. This storage consists, for example, of supercapacitors for temporary balancing; a battery for energy balancing in the medium term; and an electrolyzer, tank and fuel cell for long-term storage. One should also bear in mind the aspect of heat and cold storage, which often goes hand in hand with electricity storage.
This Special Issue will focus on energy storage devices for renewable energy, and we therefore invite papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, and analytical as well as assessment papers from different disciplines which are relevant to the energy storage technologies.
The topics of interest cover a wide range of subjects in energy storage research including batteries, LAES, CAES, pumped hydro storage, hydrogen technologies, supercapacitors, power-to-gas technologies, hybrid energy storage, and others.

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.
