Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We kindly invite you to submit an original contribution to the Special Issue “Modeling, Optimization and Testing of Innovative Processes Integrated with Thermal Energy Storage Systems”. The development and the optimal integration of efficient energy storage systems is fundamental for a proper exploitation of renewable energy sources and for enhancing energy efficiency in the domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors. In this regard, thermal energy storage systems could play a key role thanks to wide range of applications, different technologies available today (based on sensible heat, latent heat, and so on), and relatively low costs.
The investigation of new heat storage materials, the implementation of even more efficient configurations of thermal energy storage systems as well as their integration in energy conversion processes have been gaining interest from the research and industrial sector in recent years, but a further effort in modeling, simulation, optimization, and testing activities is required.
This Special Issue wants to collect original research contributions related to innovative thermal energy storage systems development and their integration in innovative processes regarding concentrating solar power (CSP), combined cold, heat and power (CHP, CCHP), compressed air energy storage (CAES, ACAES), power-to-X, waste heat recovery, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), solar cooling, process integration, and so on.
Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer review procedure, with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.

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.
