Novel Electrical Power System Combination with Energy Storage

Dear Colleagues,

The global transition towards renewable energy sources and decarbonized power systems has dramatically increased the need for advanced energy storage solutions. The integration of energy storage systems (ESSs) is no longer optional but essential for ensuring grid stability, enhancing flexibility, managing intermittency from renewables, and supporting the broader adoption of clean energy technologies such as hydrogen and ammonia. This shift necessitates novel combinations of electrical power systems with advanced energy storage technologies, spanning novel materials, system analysis, and hybrid applications such as hydrogen-based energy storage.

This Special Issue, titled "Novel Electrical Power System Combination with Energy Storage", will present cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews on the integration of energy storage into novel power systems, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementations, while highlighting technologies and strategies that improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of such systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Energy storage materials and technologies;
• System modeling and analysis;
• The flexible operation of power plants;
• Hydrogen-based energy storage and its application in power plants;
• Multi-scale and hybrid storage systems;
• Smart and AI-driven management of storage-integrated electrical power systems;
• Life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis;

Policy, market mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks.

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.
