Hydrogen Energy Systems: Optimization Models, Control and Simulation

Dear Colleagues,

Access to energy and quality of supply are essential for the resilient development of modern societies. New technologies are changing the way we approach energy consumption and tackle climate change issues. Besides, new technology and system architectures allow more efficient utilization of renewable and volatile primary energy sources. Thanks to the combination of multiple energy vectors (heat, electricity, and hydrogen), new frontiers in energy systems design have been opened and require investigation by experts. In particular, hydrogen is not only promising for the decarbonization of many processes, but it is assumed as a game-changing player for the integration of multiple systems featured by significant energy flows. For its flexibility of production and use, hydrogen is considered pivotal in repowering, rearranging, and fully revisioning power generation systems, green transportation, and industrial processes.

This Special Issue on “Hydrogen Energy Systems: Optimization Models, Control and Simulation of Advanced Solutions” envisions to collect scientific and technical original research and review papers. Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

• Optimization models
• Control and diagnosis
• Numerical simulations
• New system designs and architectures
• Experimental validation of numerical models.

For the broad range of hydrogen-based applications, as well as the overriding topic of sector-coupling, papers concerning complex hydrogen energy systems and cutting-edge implementations of hydrogen technologies are of great interest, high transferability potential, and crucial novelty.

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 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.
