The Journal of Power and Energy covers all aspects of energy conversion systems, including: power generation, transmission and use. In addition to technical developments, interests include environmental, economic and policy issues.

The scope extends to include:

Power and Energy Systems

· Power generation using innovative and conventional sources including:

        fossil, nuclear, and renewable systems.

· Energy storage, Regenerative and Fuel cell systems.

· Advanced and innovative cycles.

· Energy systems including:

        energy management in buildings, air conditioning, refrigeration,

· Thermal and mechanical (but not exclusively electrical) aspects of electricity networks.

Power and Energy System Issues
