Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of PV technology and its declining costs have been spurring the dispersion of solar generations in the grid. Recent years have also witnessed the increasing deployment of energy storage systems (ESS) with PV systems in both newly constructed systems and retrofits of existing PV systems. The hybrid operation of PV and ESS brings various merits to both stakeholders and the utilities by coordinating PV and ESS power. In addition, solar has become an important component of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) which enhance the application of microgrids.
As renewable innovation keeps moving forward, emerging technologies, e.g., AI algorithms, IoT, and new battery materials, have also driven innovations in PV and ESS hybrid systems. This Special Issue on “Advances in Hybrid Solar PV and Battery Power Systems: Technology Review and Sustainable Future” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances in such technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- AI-driven EMS methods for PV and ESS systems.
- New power electronics topologies for hybrid PV and ESS systems.
- Novel control methods for hybrid PV and ESS systems amid utility challenges.
- New battery technologies for PV systems.
- PV DER and microgrid integration and applications.
- Multiple DER optimizations including PV, ESS and EV.
- New protection and fault-detection methods in PV systems.
The scope extends to all residential, C&I, and utility-scale systems.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
