Intelligent Management and Control of Energy Storage Systems

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting your contributions to a Special Issue of Energies with the theme of “Intelligent Management and Control of Energy Storage Systems”.

The penetration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power has been promoted to relieve the dependence on fossil fuels and the environmental problems that they cause. Unfortunately, the power generated by renewables is heavily intermittent, depending on weather conditions. In this regard, energy storage is the key technology to achieve stable and consistent power delivery, and to address the challenges associated with modernizing the power grid. In the meantime, energy storage systems (ESSs) have also been playing a key role in end-user electrification. This is evident from the proactive penetration of battery-powered electrical vehicles (EVs) in pursuit of an efficient and low-carbon society.

This vision has driven intensive studies on the development of advanced ESSs that combine performance and cost merits, while suitable management and control strategies are pivotal to enhance the overall safety, reliability, and cost efficiency[DM1] . The Special Issue, therefore, seeks to contribute to the energy storage agenda through enhanced scientific knowledge related to intelligent management, control, power electronics, and novel ESSs with application in a wide range of fields like EVs, power grids, distributed generation, etc. We cordially invite papers on technical developments, as well as reviews, communications, and case studies that provide critical overview and reflect the cutting-edge progress in this field. With this Special Issue, we aim to present a platform to communicate and synergize knowledge from both specialized and interdisciplinary studies.

Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced energy storage technologies;
• Application of ESSs in EVs, power grid, and distributed generation;
• Modelling, simulation, and optimization of ESSs;
• Battery management and online condition monitoring methods for SOC, SOH, SOF, RUL, etc.;
• Optimal charging techniques;
• Hybrid Supply systems;
• Power electronics topology and control;

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.
