Abstract

This Special Issue is a collection of selected papers originating
from the 2019 UK Energy Storage Conference (UKES) taken
place on the 3rd–5th September 2019 in the Frederick
Douglass Building at Newcastle Helix, Newcastle University
and supported by the Supergen Energy Storage Network+, the
Supergen Energy Networks Hub, the EPSRC National Centre
for Energy Systems Integration, the Energy Storage Research
Network (ESRN), and the STFC Network in Battery Science
and Technology. The papers have been selected based on their
quality and relevance to the areas covered in this journal, and
include contributions from the Supergen Energy Storage
Network + Early Career Researcher community. UKES is a bi‐
annual international conference, bringing together researchers
from academia, industry, and policymakers across the whole
field of energy storage and relevant themes, offering a unique
opportunity for dissemination and collaboration through presentations, expert talks, and poster sessions to inspire future
research. All papers in this Special Issue have been expanded
and further developed from their original form to meet the
criteria and high standards for inclusion in this journal.
