Summary
In the face of escalating global energy demands, the urgent need to combat climate change, and the increasing reliance on sustainable energy sources, the exploration and optimization of energy production, conversion, and storage systems have become pivotal. The traditional energy landscape, dominated by fossil fuels, has led to severe environmental degradation, including greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. As countries worldwide strive to achieve their net-zero carbon targets, there is a growing imperative to shift towards renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power. However, the intermittent and variable nature of these renewable resources poses significant challenges in ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply. This is where efficient energy production, conversion, and storage systems play a crucial role.
Energy production involves the extraction and generation of energy from various sources, while energy conversion is the process of transforming energy from one form to another to meet specific application requirements. Energy storage, on the other hand, enables the capture and retention of excess energy for later use, thereby enhancing the flexibility and resilience of the energy system. The seamless integration of these three aspects is essential for building a sustainable, reliable, and smart energy future.
The primary aim of this special issue is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth review of the latest theories, technologies, and applications in energy production, conversion, and storage systems.
Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
1. Fundamental theories and models for energy production, conversion, and storage;
2. Advanced energy production technologies, including solar photovoltaics, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass energy;
3. Innovative energy conversion technologies, such as fuel cells, energy-efficient motors;
4. High-performance energy storage systems, including batteries (e.g., lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries), supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, and pumped hydro storage;
5. The integration and optimization of energy production, conversion, and storage systems, including microgrids, smart grids, and energy management systems;
6. Life cycle analysis, environmental impact assessment, and economic evaluation of energy production, conversion, and storage systems;
7. Policy for the promotion and development of energy production, conversion, and storage technologies.
