Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the current energy crisis, European leaders are forced to improvise plans and emergency measures with the goal of saving consumers from damaging economic pain in the coming months. In this framework, the design of advanced thermal energy storage systems are a relevant key to facing the energy crisis, now more than ever.
A thermal energy storage system (TES) accumulates energy when production exceeds demand, allowing it to be used later. Depending on the user's needs, stored energy is available for use in heating and cooling applications, as well as for power generation. The current state of technology allows thermal energy to be stored in many ways, including sensible heat, latent energy, or thermochemical energy. Industrial processes can be made more energy efficient with TES systems in commercial and residential settings, thus eliminating the need to supply additional energy streams.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Thermal Energy Storage Systems” intends to present novel examples of pioneering thermal energy storage systems. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Advances in TES design;
- Numerical simulations;
- Renewable energy sources;
- Photovoltaic systems;
- Innovative TES applications;
- Phase change material;
- Clean 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. 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.
