Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The International Conference on Sustainable Energy & Power Systems, “SEPS”, provides a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present papers on recent developments in these fields. The organising committee of the conference invites papers from researchers and practitioners from academia as well as industry within the scope of the conference.

Papers related to industrial-based projects are of particular interest, although any paper dealing with one or more of the following topics will be considered for the conference:

  • Renewable Energy Harvesting and Management Technologies;
  • Energy Efficiency in Process Industries;
  • Energy Storage Systems;
  • Smart Grids;
  • Bio-Energy;
  • Hydrogen and Fuel Cell;
  • Carbon Capture and Decarbonization Technology Research;
  • Nuclear Energy;
  • Energy Management;
  • Energy Economy;
  • Energy Modelling and Simulation;
  • Sustainable Transportation;
  • AI in Energy Developments;
  • Circular Economy for Renewable Energy;
  • Waste Management;
  • Water Treatment, Management and Policy;
  • Climate Change;
  • Air Pollution;
  • Energy Nexus;
  • Materials for Energy.

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. Energies 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 2600 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 competitiveness of large-scale offshore wind parks is influenced by the intermittent power generation of wind turbines, which impacts network service costs such as reserve requirements, capacity credit, and system inertia. Buffer power plants smooth the peaks in power generation, distribute electric power when the wind is absent or insufficient, and improve the capacity factor of wind parks and their profitability. By substituting the variable pressure storage with an underwater variable volume air reservoir and reducing the wastage of compression heat using liquid Thermal Energy Storage (TES), which eliminates the combustor, the plant design allows overcoming the most common drawbacks of CAES plants. Underwater Compressed Air Energy Storage (UW-CAES) plants are investigated with a thermodynamic model to drive the power plant design toward efficiency maximization. Functional maps, constrained on the plant pressure ratio and the number of compressor/turbine phases with inter-refrigerated/inter-heating phases, are drawn by solving the model iteratively for the heat exchangers’ effectiveness to meet the target turbine discharge temperature, selected in advance to avoid unfeasible mathematical solutions.

The use of wind power has grown strongly in recent years and is expected to continue to increase in the coming decades. Solar power is also expected to increase significantly. In a power system, a continuous balance is maintained between total production and demand. This balancing is currently mainly managed with conventional power plants, but with larger amounts of wind and solar power, other sources will also be needed. Interesting possibilities include continuous control of wind and solar power, battery storage, electric vehicles, hydrogen production, and other demand resources with flexibility potential. The aim of this article is to describe and compare the different challenges and future possibilities in six systems concerning how to keep a continuous balance in the future with significantly larger amounts of variable renewable power production. A realistic understanding of how these systems plan to handle continuous balancing is central to effectively develop a carbon-dioxide-free electricity system of the future. The systems included in the overview are the Nordic synchronous area, the island of Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula, Texas (ERCOT), the central European system, and Great Britain. Full article
