Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world moves towards a low carbon future, the role of nuclear, renewables and their associated firming technologies in the form of gas, hydro and batteries are gaining a higher profile. Renewables have been extremely popular for their falling prices, fast roll out and zero fuel costs, but their protracted deployment has created other challenges in the form of increased gas usage and unpredictable availability, which could lead to grid instability. Hydro-power is a good partner to renewables but its deployment is limited by geography. Battery storage technology has improved greatly over the years, yet economic deployment remains elusive. Finally nuclear remains a primary contributor to low carbon energy, but its long deployment timeframes, large upfront costs and perceived safety concerns have constrained its deployment in the West. This journal will be a timely overview of all these technologies working not only individually but also as an interconnected system.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
