Aims and Scope:
The Journal aims at establishing an open platform for the dissemination of research findings in the field of design of resilient and robust energy networks powered by variable renewable energy sources (wind, solar, etc). Novel paradigms, based on advanced and smart energy storage systems, demand-response strategies, and sector coupling, are crucial topics to be addressed. In this framework, the Journal is open to accept papers discussing the recent innovations regarding the technologies and strategies allowing one to improve grid balance. Here, Power-to-X (PtX) technologies play a relevant role in grid balancing, energy storage and the water-energy nexus. PtX technologies offer a pathway to convert excess renewable energy, which might otherwise be wasted, into storable and versatile forms such as hydrogen, synthetic fuels, heat, and water, thereby contributing to grid stability and increased system flexibility. Similarly, novel and advanced renewable technologies, suitable for their integration in the future energy networks, will be analysed and discussed to assess their future technical and economic feasibility. On the user side, the Journal is open to discuss all the technologies and strategies to reduce user energy consumption and to mitigate the phase shift between renewable production and user demand. Special attention will be paid to the user demands for space heating and cooling, analyzing in detail the possible technologies to be implemented to improve energy efficiency in buildings, such as: heat pumps, refurbishment of building envelope, the integration of electric heavy and light vehicles, etc.
