Dear Colleages,

Energy from renewable sources must be processed and stored in environmentally responsible and efficient methods in order to support both sustainable economic growth and environmental preservation. The field of electrochemical energy storage is expanding quickly, driven by a constant flow of new and creative ideas.

It is well known that energy storage technologies will be essential in the next decades for both encouraging the use of renewable energy sources to offset the use of fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions, which is a necessary step towards reaching carbon neutrality. Energy storage systems (ESSs) are becoming increasingly popular as a means of strengthening the trustworthiness, sustainability, and effectiveness of energy systems. Because ESSs can accommodate intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind, they could promote the integration of these technologies. Furthermore, energy storage can improve the resilience of remote (off-grid) communities and energy carriers (such as pipelines and grids) in the event of unforeseen events like natural disasters or operational problems. Given the emergence of ESSs as previously mentioned, integrating them to balance both the demand and supply sides of energy systems continues to be challenging and complex because of the variety of decision-making factors involved, the fluctuating nature of energy demand, supply-side uncertainties, and variability of power systems. With the above-said aim and motivation, this proposal has been called in the area of Energy storage systems and power system integration technology. The special issue welcomes technical papers, case studies, and state-of-the-art reviews on the Energy storage and power system integration technology in the design, integration, operation, and control of ESSs that include (but are not limited to):

· Energy Storage, Batteries, and Supper capacitors assessed in EV and Micro-grids power system integration technology

· Data-driven algorithms to optimize energy-storage systems

· Development of Battery Management and Energy Management Systems.

· Artificial intelligence applications for Energy storage systems operation and control

· Intelligent energy storage economics

· Model-predictive and real-time controls for Energy storage systems

· Concise Energy storage systems scheduling

· Distributed and networked Energy storage systems with intelligent coordination

· Intelligent Energy storage systems design and automation

· Energy storage systems in Electrical Vehicles and Chargers

· IoT and cloud systems for Energy storage systems monitoring and control

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
