Energy for Sustainable Development

  • ISSN: 0973-0826
  • 5 Year impact factor: 4.7
  • Impact factor: 4.4
Published on behalf of the International Energy Initiative, Energy for Sustainable Development is a journal to promote – initiate, strengthen and advance – the efficient and clean production and use of energy for sustainable development of developing nations (i.e. any country outside the high income category as per the World Bank definition). It publishes original, applied, interdisciplinary research, commentaries and reviews about energy as an instrument of sustainable development and focuses on energy systems, clean resources, efficient technologies, end uses, policies and governance arrangements. It is the journal for decision makers, managers, consultants, policy makers, planners and researchers in both government and non-government organizations. Accordingly, the Editorial Board does not consider highly specialized works in a specific discipline appropriate for this journal.The Editorial Board of ESD views energy, not as an end, but as an instrument of sustainable development. The Editorial Board particularly wishes to encourage papers that are (1) in line with the scope outlined above, (2) likely to be of interest to more than one professional group, and (3) contributing significantly to knowledge through analysis, synthesis and critical review and evaluation. The board also welcomes papers on North-South, South-South or multilateral cooperation in energy technology development, governance, training and applications. The Board considers the publication of highly specialized work more appropriate to other professional journals. The criteria for acceptance of the papers in Energy for Sustainable Development are 1) relevance of the work and breadth of interest; 2) originality and contribution to knowledge; 3) methodological robustness; 4) quality of analysis and 5) the quality of presentation, irrespective of the type of paper (full length research papers, short communications or review articles).Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support CenterThis journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities)

Journal of Energy Storage

  • ISSN: 2352-152X
  • 5 Year impact factor: 9
  • Impact factor: 8.9
The Journal of Energy Storage focusses on all aspects of energy storage, in particular systems integration, electric grid integration, modelling and analysis, novel energy storage technologies, sizing and management strategies, business models for operation of storage systems and energy storage developments worldwide.The journal offers a single, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary platform for scientists and engineers in academia, research institutions, government agencies and industry. The journal is also of interest to decision makers and technical, economic and policy advisers in these organisations.The Journal of Energy Storage welcomes original research papers, reviews and short communications. Topics include, but are not limited to the following:• Science, technology and applications of electrochemical, chemical, mechanical, electrical and thermal energy storage • Engineering, control, optimization, numerical and modelling aspects of energy storage systems • Demand and management of intermittency in large scale low-carbon power generation involving renewable energy sources using energy storage systems and other competing flexibility options such as flexible power plants, demand side management in households and industry, combined heat and power, or grid extensions • Applications, load profiles and requirements of storage technologies in grid-scale electrical storage, electric vehicle transportation, traction applications, off-grid systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and portable electronic applications • Management and control of large quantities of distributed storage systems as virtual large scale storage systems, including vehicle-to-grid, energy storage integrated with buildings, and multi-purpose and hybrid storage systems • Testing, test procedures, evaluation, lessons learned, life cycle costs, life cycle assessment, and safety of energy storage systems • Economic, policy and regulatory aspects, markets, market models, and market introduction concepts of energy storage systems.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy)
