Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The open access journal Applied Sciences is pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue, entitled “Energy Storage and Electric Power Systems: Theory, Methods and Applications”, for which I am serving as the Guest Editor.

Given your expertise in this field, we would like to cordially invite you to contribute a paper to this Special Issue.

The fast growth of renewables brings new design and operational challenges to the energy transition working towards a 100% renewable energy goal, and Europe has an ambitious target to decarbonize. Therefore, the role of electricity storage systems in the rapid rise of renewable energy resources and the steady fall of fossil fuels in power systems with large-scale wind and PV integration is investigated in this Special Issue.

Different energy storage technologies such as compressed air energy storage, hydro pumped storage, sodium–sulfur batteries, electrical cars or ships, hydrogen, fuel cells and desalination are some of the storage cases that could be included in this Special Issue. This Special Issue focuses on theory, methods and applications of storage systems combined with renewable energy sources. Integration and economic issues could be also addressed. Specific case studies, best practices, technical solutions and technoeconomic assessments could be analysed or presented.

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. Applied Sciences 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.

The proposed energy harvesting system is based on a rotational pendulum-like electromagnetic device. Pendulum energy harvesting systems can be used to generate power for wearable devices such as smart watches and fitness trackers, by harnessing the energy from the human body motion. These systems can also be used to power low-energy-consuming sensors and monitoring devices in industrial settings where consistent ambient vibrations are present, enabling continuous operation without any need for frequent battery replacements. The pendulum-based energy harvester presented in this work was equipped with additional adjustable permanent magnets placed inside the induction coils, governing the movement of the pendulum. This research pioneers a novel electromagnetic energy harvester design that offers customizable potential configurations. Such a design was realized using the 3D printing method for enhanced precision, and analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). The reduced dynamic model was derived for a real-size device and FEM-based simulations were carried out to estimate the distribution and interaction of the magnetic field. Dynamic simulations were performed for the selected magnet configurations of the system. Power output analyses are presented for systems with and without the additional magnets inside the coils. The primary outcome of this research demonstrates the importance of optimization of geometric configuration. Such an optimization was exercised here by strategically choosing the size and positioning of the magnets, which significantly enhanced energy harvesting performance by facilitating easier passage of the pendulum through magnetic barriers.
