Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Different research fields are studying energy, its transformation, optimisation, and storage due to its social impact worldwide. Thermal, mechanical, chemical, electric, or electrochemical energy can be stored to take advantage of it later over long periods. Energy storage studies and technology have increased this century because energy supply and demand must be balanced to satisfy social necessities. The energy storage technology for different applications should be selected according to the capacity, power and efficiency, storage period, charge and discharge time, lifetime, and cost. This Special Issue, focusing on energy storage, includes all kinds of studies where the main aim is to store energy in off-peak times and use it during peak times, highlighting new knowledge on modeling, simulation, design, and optimisation.
The fields of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Thermal energy storage, mechanical energy storage, chemical energy storage, electric energy storage, or electrochemical energy storage;
- Fuel cells;
- Management of energy during contingencies;
- Modelling and life cycle analysis of energy devices;
- Instrumentation for assessment of devices for energy storage;
- Material transformation to increase energy density;
- Design and operation of energy grids with energy storage;
- Development of prototypes for rural areas.

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.
