Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electricity storage will play a crucial role in the energy transition, allowing the massive renewable energy integration in the electrical power system. As countries strive to significantly reduce emissions from power generation and renewable penetration becomes high in the electrical mix, storage will be needed so that future electricity systems can accommodate the fluctuating availability to solar and wind energy. Pumped hydro storage has historically been implemented to reduce generation costs, shifting the electricity supply from times of low demand to times of high demand. At present, batteries and other mechanical and thermal storage systems are also suitable for electricity storage in the power system. Electricity storage could help the utility grid operate more efficiently, reduce the likelihood of brownouts during peak demand, and contribute to frequency control, load shifting, peak shaving, smoothing/ramp rate control, and power quality, among others. In stand-alone (off-grid) systems, electricity storage is absolutely crucial for supplying the load when renewable sources cannot supply the load (load following). Taking into account all the above, this Special Issue is dedicated to any topic related to electricity storage, including all the storage technologies, applications, modelling, control, sizing, simulation, and optimization, for grid-connected or off-grid systems, considering technical, environmental, and economic aspects.

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.
