Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Energies is dedicated to Professor Luisa F. Cabeza (born on May 27, 1967, Barcelona, Spain), full professor since 2006 at the University of Lleida, Spain. She graduated with a Chemical Engineering degree in 1992 and Industrial Engineering in 1993 from the Universitat Ramon Llull (Barcelona, Spain). She has received an MBA degree in 1995 and PhD degree in 1996 from the same university. After a post-doctorate appointment at the USDA-ARS-ERRC lab in Philadelphia, USA, she joined University of Lleida in 1999, where she has been the head of GREiA research group. She has devoted the last 22 years in developing new materials and systems for thermal energy storage (TES) in different applications. She was a member of the Executive Committee of the Storage Program of the International Energy Agency (ECES IA—IEA) and she has contributed to the SREEN, Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) reports of the IPCC. At present, she is Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) of the Buildings chapter of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) preparation of the IPCC. Prof. Luisa F. Cabeza has been the Spanish expert in the Challenge 3—Energy of the H2020 programme from 2014 to 2020. She has authored more than 450 peer-reviewed research papers, edited more than 10 books, and participated in a number of international conferences, including a number of invited keynote talks. She is a member of the editorial board of relevant peer-reviewed journals in the field of energy systems and has been acting as an external reviewer for more than 15 years. During her career, she was the inventor behind seven patents on TES out-licensed to national and international industrial partners and actually commercialized. Prof. Luisa F. Cabeza has coordinated or led eight national projects on TES, and four EU projects, and she has participated as partner in other eight EU projects.
We plan to organize a Special Issue honoring Prof. Luisa F. Cabeza’s distinguished scientific career over the past 25 years. This Special Issue will consist of communications, original research articles, and review articles covering different aspects related to all TES technologies, including but not limited to:
- Advanced TES materials;
- Novel TES systems and applications;
- Passive and active TES integrated into buildings;
- Integration of TES into smart energy systems and distributed generation;
- Improvement of energy demand flexibility through TES;
- Economic and techno-economic analysis of TES systems;
- Environmental analysis and impact assessment of TES.
