Energy Storage and Applications—A New Open Access Journal

As sustainability and the adoption of renewable energy become increasingly prominent on the international agenda, energy storage plays an increasingly essential role in facilitating this transition while ensuring a secure and reliable energy supply. According to Lyapunov’s second method for stability, the stability of a dynamic system, such as a power grid, depends on maintaining an energy balance. With the integration of renewables into power grids, maintaining this balance has become more challenging. Consequently, many renewable energy farms now require the installation of energy storage systems to preserve the energy balance and, thus, the stability of the power grid. Clearly, energy storage is vital in the transition to an era dominated by renewable energy.

The journal of Energy Storage and Applications (ISSN: 3042-4011) [1] emerges as a pivotal platform dedicated to advancing the field of energy storage research and applications.
