Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pumped storage systems are deemed to be a mature economic and large-scale feasible solution to storing energy in an efficient way compared to other technologies such as supercapacitors or electrochemical batteries. In addition, they can participate in ancillary services markets, offering regulating frequency reserve and enlarging their expected incomes.
However, their high investment costs could be a barrier to commissioning new projects. In the context of liberalized electricity systems, the participation of pumped storage systems in a multi-market framework becomes critical to improving their economic viability.
In this Special Issue on the ‘Optimization and Research Progress of Pumped Storage Systems’, I invite authors to submit papers on the current trends and challenges of the technology under the uncertainty brought on by climate change.

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.
