Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy storage systems play a crucial role in the transition toward a more sustainable future for the transportation and energy sectors. Indeed, recent advancements in storage technologies have allowed the development of innovative electric mobility concepts, offering high performance in efficiency, range, safety, charging time, and seamless grid integration. On the other hand, these technologies are characterized by a high level of complexity, involving a variety of challenges that require investigation from different perspectives with multi-disciplinary approaches. This Special Issue, entitled “Batteries and Energy Storage Systems: Towards a Sustainable Energy Future”, invites articles that address all the aspects related to advancements in battery/energy storage technologies and management concerning stationery and mobility applications.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel approaches and power configurations in battery management systems for electric mobility, with a particular focus on balancing and safety operations;
- Battery status monitoring, both diagnostic and prognostic, through the implementation of advanced data-driven, model-based or filter-based approaches;
- Multifunctional battery systems and materials supporting the development and testing of structural battery applications;
- Hybrid energy storage systems, with reference to the integration and management of high-specific energy and power storage devices;
- Novel systems and methods with which to guarantee optimal battery thermal management focused on phase change materials and liquid-based systems;
- Hydrogen-based configurations to supply either vehicle or micro-grid applications;
- The smart management of energy storage for the optimal integration of renewable and distributed energy sources.
