Urban Energy Systems: A modeling and simulation perspective

A modeling and Simulation PerspectiveUrban Energy Systems ~ covers major technological advancements in, and evolving applications of, thermal and photovoltaic solar energy systems. Advances in technologies for harnessing solar energy are extensively discussed, with topics including the fabrication, compaction, and optimization of energy grids, solar cells, and panels. Leading international experts discuss the applications, challenges, and future prospects of research in this increasingly vital field, providing a valuable resource for all researchers working in this field. This comprehensive description and discussion of photovoltaics (PV) are presented at a level that makes it accessible to the interested academic. Starting with a historical overview, the text outlines the relevance of photovoltaics today and in the future. Then follows an introduction to the physical background of solar cells and the most important materials and technologies, with particular emphasis placed on future developments and prospects. The book goes beyond technology with all aspects of solar energy systems. The fundamentals of predicting availability; economic appraisal strategies; specific collector sub-systems, including a proven analytical procedure for predicting performance; and analyses of solar energy systems in depth. Researchers and technologists need to have an insight into the implementation of the challenge entails, and this book presents practical constraints, operational considerations, and the latest research results. The book should be of great interest to students as well as professionals undertaking feasibility studies, development and implementation, technical assistance, and training assignments. Political action and pressure groups will also find the text useful for developing energy policies.

This upcoming book tries to include the following:

Concept of Smart, Intelligent and Sustainable energy system
Transiting urban energy scenarios and next-generation modern society
Techniques for urban energy system modeling and Assessment
Computing the amount of urban energy for the energy harvest
Spatio-Temporal and Hyper-Temporal variability analysis of urban energy
Feasibility Analysis of urban energy system for the urban sector
Comprehensive synthesis of energy policy, programs and initiatives

Submission Guidelines

Submissions to UES-2021 can be made in one of the following two categories: (1) regular papers (2) tool and benchmark papers. The primary focus of “regular papers” (submission length: 15-20 pages, excluding references) should be to describe new research ideas supported by experimental implementation and evaluation of the proposed research ideas. The primary focus of “tool and benchmarks papers” should be to describe the design, development, and evaluation of new tools/techniques and methods. Submissions in the “regular papers” category are also encouraged.

The submissions in both categories will be evaluated to the same standards in terms of novelty, scientific value, demonstrated usefulness, and potential impact on the field. The nature of the contribution differs between the two categories (new research idea vs. new tool/ techniques) and papers will be evaluated based on the intended nature of the contribution, as declared by the chosen paper category at the time of the submission. The chosen category at the time of the submission cannot be changed after the submission deadline.

Double-blind submission guidelines apply to the submissions in both categories. All chapters must be original (and Unpublished) and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference or book. The following chapter categories are welcome:

Full chapters require at least 15-20 pages (minimum).
Survey articles will be considered. SLR is accepted.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

1–2 page Abstracts
5–6 page Position Papers
15+ page Research Papers

Note: This is the first book that includes Urban Energy System: Concepts and Applications (including its importance for the smart era).

Review Process

All manuscripts will be reviewed by the panel of reviewers and evaluated on originality, the relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity of presentation of the paper. Authors are highly encouraged to list the key contributions of their paper, for example in a separate paragraph in the introduction of the paper. The review process is “single-blind” (i.e., authors can list their names on the paper), and that there will be a rebuttal period.

The initial decision for the submission may be Accept, Reject or Revise. Papers that are recommended for revision will have to address the comments from the reviewers and submit a revised article along with a summary of changes. This will go through a light review and the final decision will be communicated.

Publication

UES-2021 book chapter will be published by Wiley-Scrivener imprint, USA, which is indexed in Web of Science/ Scopus.

Note that there are no publishing charges for publishing your research work in this book.
