Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are now receiving submissions to a new Special Issue of Energies entitled 'Thermal Energy Storage Systems Modeling and Experimentation: 2nd Edition’. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are crucial in resolving the intermittence of renewable energies, such as solar thermal energy. Integrating TES into renewable energy systems can significantly enhance their reliability and stability, while also reducing the levelized cost of renewable electricity due to their capacity for low-cost thermal energy storage. Latent heat TES using phase-change materials (PCMs) and thermochemical TES offer a promising solution; nevertheless several significant challenges persist, such as the poor thermal conductivity of PCMs and the lack of integration methods.
This Special Issue will identify and address the research challenges related to latent heat TES and thermochemical TES. The scope of this Special Issue therefore includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- TES integration for thermodynamic (power) cycles;
- The numerical modelling of TES systems;
- The melting and solidification characteristics of PCM systems;
- Heat transfer enhancement;
- Experimental analysis of TES systems;
- TES material development and testing.

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.
