Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced technologies for energy storage are becoming increasingly critical as the world transitions to cleaner and more sustainable power systems. With the rise of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, which are inherently intermittent, effective energy storage solutions are essential to ensure a reliable power supply. Advanced battery technologies, such as lithium-ion, solid-state, and flow batteries, are at the forefront of this evolution. These systems offer higher energy density, faster charging capabilities, and improved safety profiles, making them ideal for both grid-scale applications and electric vehicles.
Beyond batteries, technologies like supercapacitors, advanced flywheels, and superconducting magnetic energy storage are emerging as valuable ancillary service providers in modern power systems due to their rapid response capabilities and high power densities. Consequently, they can play a critical role in frequency regulation, voltage support, and grid stabilization, particularly in systems with a high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources. Moreover, novel approaches such as hydrogen fuel cells, compressed air energy storage, and thermal energy storage offer advantages in scalability and long-duration storage. As research and development continue, these advanced technologies are expected to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance integration with smart grids, playing a pivotal role in decarbonizing energy systems and supporting a resilient, low-carbon future.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
