This Special Issue addresses the general problem of a proper match between the demands of energy users and the units for energy conversion and storage, by means of proper design and operation of the overall energy system configuration. The focus is either on systems including single plants or groups of plants, connected or not to one or more energy distribution networks. In both cases, the optimum design and operation involve decisions about thermodynamic processes, about the type, number, design parameters of components/plants, and storage capacities, and about mutual interconnections and the interconnections with the distribution grids. The problem is very wide, can be tackled with different methodologies and may have several, more or less valuable and complicated solutions. The twelve accepted papers certainly represent a good contribution to perceive its difficulty.

The development of modern society is followed by increasing energy demands, highlighting the importance of sustainability of the energy system. In line with this task, electrochemistry has been set in the centre of modern research, offering a large number of solutions for energy conversion and storage. One of the main problems is the identification of new electrocatalytic materials which are used for energy conversion applications. A brief view on the use of modern computational techniques in discovery of new electrocatalysts is provided, mainly focusing on the electronic structure methods and the idea of catalytic descriptor. Using this approach, it is possible to screen many candidates for new electrocatalysts. However, the complexity of an electrified interface requires additional efforts to fully understand the properties of electrocatalytic materials.
