Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The deep decarbonization of the energy system is driving structural changes in the power, transportation, and industrial sectors. Hydrogen, as a zero-carbon energy carrier, with its large-scale energy storage and flexible conversion capabilities, has become a key link connecting fluctuating renewable energy sources and the future power grid. At the same time, the interaction between electric vehicles and the power grid is reshaping the characteristics of power load. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology provides transformative tools for the optimized operation and intelligent decision-making of complex energy systems. From electro-hydrogen-coupled hydrogen production stations to intelligent charging/hydrogen refueling networks, how to use AI to achieve coordinated optimization of the electro-hydrogen-transportation multi-network and enhance system resilience in extreme events has become a focus of attention for both academia and industry.

This Special Issue, "AI-Driven Multi-Energy Storage and Conversion: Integrating Hydrogen into Future Power Grids", aims to collect the latest research results that combine artificial intelligence technology with the modeling, simulation, and optimization of multi-energy systems, with a particular focus on the deep coupling of hydrogen energy with the power grid and transportation systems.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
