Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing share of renewable energy in the power generation sector, searching for storage technologies of renewably produced energy has begun. Subsurface systems have shown significant potential to be used as thermal storage media. Evaluating the potential of geothermal resources is a multifaceted challenge requiring interdisciplinary expertise, with hydrogeology playing a pivotal role. The present Special Issue gravitates towards elucidating the influence of inherent shallow aquifer characteristics on the efficiency of installing underground thermal energy storage (UTES) systems. The most popular technologies of UTES currently available in the market include, but are not limited to, low- and high-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES), borehole thermal energy storage (BTES), pit thermal energy storage (PTES), tank thermal energy storage (TTES), and cavern thermal energy storage (CTES).
Original research/review papers referring to theoretical, experimental, or numerical studies relevant to UTES are welcome to be submitted to the present Special Issue.
Dr. Ehsan Ranaee

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. Water 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.
