Dear Colleagues,

The current emphasis on energy savings and environmental issues, related to power generation, have prompted both researchers and industries to find high efficiency and low emission solutions. The current approach to meet the environmental and efficiency targets are based upon combined thermal plant whether it be CHP, tri-generation or more exotic combination of cycles that could include for instance desalination plant and gas turbine inlet air cooling. Mathematical models based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics are the starting point for any analysis but performance criteria based on the concept of Exergy are not generally understood or well applied. This special issue will give authors the opportunity to disseminate their recent findings and developments in Exergy studies with the aim to share through the global media the current state of the art in Exergy research and analysis applied to Energy Systems.

Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs).
