Modeling and Optimization of Battery Energy Storage Systems

Dear Colleagues,

It is increasingly recognized that the construction of sustainable energy systems and the decarbonization of traditional energy systems require efficient energy storage solutions. Battery energy storage systems play a pivotal role in modern energy management, which are widely employed in various applications including grid stability and frequency control, peak shaving and load levelling, renewable energy integration, microgrids and distributed energy systems, and electric vehicles and transportation. The complexity and variability of energy supplies and demands necessitate advanced modeling and optimization techniques to maximize the performance and efficiency of battery energy storage systems. In this regard, exploring the modeling and optimization methods for battery energy storage systems in various applications is critical for the low-carbon transformation of energy systems and the large-scale development of renewable energy.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate recent advances in the theory, design, modeling, application control, and optimization of all types of battery energy storage systems.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• All aspects of Li-ion battery energy storage systems, Lead-acid battery storage systems, and other battery energy storage systems;
• Applications of battery energy storage systems;
• Electrochemical and thermal modeling techniques;
• State estimation and health monitoring techniques;
• Optimal design methodologies;
• Intelligent control algorithms;
• Charging and discharging strategies;
• Optimization algorithms;
• Mathematical models and simulation tools;
• Energy management methods.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
