Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global energy transition, driven by carbon neutrality goals, has made energy storage and conversion systems (e.g., battery storage, thermal storage, hydrogen conversion) critical for integrating intermittent renewables (solar, wind) and ensuring grid stability. However, these systems face challenges like low conversion efficiency, uncertain operation, and high economic costs—issues that can only be addressed through rigorous mathematical modeling and targeted optimization.

This Special Issue focuses on advancing the theory and application of mathematical tools in this field. It welcomes original research on topics including but not limited to modeling of electrochemical/thermal storage systems, optimization of storage conversion integration, uncertainty-aware algorithms for renewable coupled systems, and economic dispatch of multi-energy storage.

By bridging mathematical innovation with engineering practice, this Special Issue aims to collect cutting-edge work that guides the design, operation, and scaling of energy storage and conversion systems. It will serve as a platform for researchers and engineers to share insights, promoting the sustainable development of the global energy sector.

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. Mathematics 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.
