Call For Papers - CFP

International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering (IJEOE)

Guest Editors: Alexis Polycarpou and Hassan Nouri

INTRODUCTION:

Due to the rapid increase in power demand, electric power systems have developed extensively during the 20th century, resulting in today’s power industry probably being the largest and most complex industry in the world. A modern power system should provide cost effective, reliable, and uninterrupted services to its customers at constrained variation limits for voltage and frequency, as well as compensate for the continually changing load demand.

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:

The objective of this special issue is to present high quality papers, featuring latest and future developments in the fields related to the analysis, operation, and planning of Electrical power systems.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS:

Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:

? Cables and insulating material

? Distributed generation and microgrids

? Electric machines and drives

? Electromagnetic transients

? Energy efficiency

? High voltage engineering

? Islanded systems

? Power electronics and FACTS

? Power quality

? Protection and safety

? Reliability assessment of power systems

? Renewable energy sources and storage devices

? Security assessment and risk analysis

? Smart grids

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Operation and Planning of Electrical Power Systems on or before October 1, 2013. All submissions must be original and not under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL’S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf. All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations.

ABOUT International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering (IJEOE):

The International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering (IJEOE) publishes global research in the areas of energy optimization and engineering. The journal provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the areas of electrical power engineering, control systems, and hybrid intelligent optimization. This interdisciplinary journal examines and encourages research within energy optimization and engineering fields, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, genetic with line or pattern search, particle swam optimization, ant colony optimization, and hybrid system optimization in a variety of engineering, science, business, and hybrid energy resource applications.
