Production, Storage and Valorisation of Hhydrogen Energy (PSVHE)

Energy accessed through Hydrogen can be considered as a great and readily available source with a great efficiency with no emissions when used in fuel cells or in internal combustion engines to generate power, no green house effect, non-toxic, can be produced from renewable resources, etc. Various applications based on different aspects of energy through Hydrogen such as production, valorization and storage are the main objectives. (The CFP on the journal website)
Extended versions of selected papers will be publishable in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier)

Organized by: Prof. Abdeslam-Hassen Meniai (meniai@yahoo.fr)

Optimization of Renewable Energy Resources (ORER)

Renewable Energy Focus seeks to deliver high-value insights across the energy value chain through integrative, comprehensive, and leading-edge research – covering high impact innovations in renewable energy systems integration; modelling and analysis; policy; and business innovations. At the technology level we publish fundamental and applied research (and insights) on commercially-feasible renewable energy technology development across all vertical technology sectors. (The CFP on the journal website)

  • Decentralisation and its impact on decarbonising the grid
  • How should the grid evolve to manage a complex interaction of different energy technology profiles reliably and economically, both in the developed and developing world?
  • The role of Digitisation and advanced IT technology to manage, decarbonise, co-ordinate and optimise the grid (and assets associated with it).
  • How will market forces need to adapt to facilitate an energy transition (for example with regard to Social and consumer attitudes and behaviour; supply and demand; and the economics of integrating different technology profiles).
  • How do the Power markets need to evolve to encourage continued investment in a broad and diverse range of technology profiles and energy systems – many of which have conflicting grid requirements, performance and outputs.
  • What do we need to do to make the electrification of transport possible?
