Scope of the WSEAS Conference on RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES :

The World Conference of WSEAS on RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES is going to be the internationally recognized Forum for the dissemination of the latest advances on Wind Energy, Hydrogen Energy, Biomass and Bioenergy, Solar Energy, Photovoltaic Systems, Geothermal Energy, Hydroelectric Energy, Small Hydro-Plants etc as well as on their increasing practical interest and real applications. The various WSEAS conferences on Energy Systems has been successfully held each year since 2001 and has produced more than 15 volumes of Proceedings while the best papers and the invited papers after extension and after peer review from 4 international referees, are published in WSEAS Journals covered by all the major scientific indeces.

The WSEAS International Conference on RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES aims to disseminate the latest research and applications in the afore mentioned fields. The range of topics covered are listed on the Call For Papers.

The friendliness and openness of the WSEAS conferences, adds to their ability to grow by constantly attracting young researchers.

The WSEAS International Conference on RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES has already attracted a large number of well-established and leading researchers in all the areas of Wind Energy, Hydrogen Energy, Biomass and Bioenergy, Solar Energy, Photovoltaic Systems, Geothermal Energy, Hydroelectric Energy, Small Hydro-Plants and their Advanced Applications in the entire spectrum of Energy Engineering and Environmental Science.

The WSEAS meetings have always had a special appeal to young researchers and are characterized by a friendly atmosphere in which delegates at different stages of their careers can talk to each other. Scientists within the areas of energy science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, architectural engineering will benefit from attending the meeting. As a conclusion, the conference offers to the engineers and scientists a unique forum for establishing new collaborations within present or upcoming research projects, exchanging useful ideas, presenting recent research results, participating in discussions and establishing new academic collaborations, linking university with the industry.
