Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global push towards renewable energy integration accelerates, the importance of efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy storage solutions becomes increasingly evident. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a critical component in modern electricity markets, enabling grid stability, frequency regulation, voltage regulation, renewable integration, and peak load management. The growing demand for these technologies calls for comprehensive research into their technical, economic, and environmental impacts.
This Special Issue invites original research articles, practical implementations, and review papers addressing the various facets of battery energy storage within electricity markets. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Economic and market mechanisms for integrating BESS;
- Technologies and advancements in battery energy storage systems;
- Optimal operation and control strategies for BESS in electricity markets;
- Modeling, simulation, and performance assessment of BESS;
- Lifecycle analysis and sustainability of battery systems;
- Grid services and ancillary support provided by BESS;
- Policy frameworks and regulatory challenges for energy storage integration;
- Case studies on deployment and real-world applications of BESS in electricity markets.
We look forward to contributions that offer innovative insights and practical solutions to enhance the role of battery energy storage in fostering sustainable and resilient electricity systems.
Note: Authors are encouraged to submit novel research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies relevant to the sustainable development and integration of battery energy storage in electricity markets.
