Advances in Efficiency, Cost, Optimization, Simulation and Environmental Impact of Energy Systems from ECOS 2023

Dear Colleagues,

ECOS is the name of a series of international conferences that focus on modern aspects of energy systems. This edition, ECOS 2023 (https://ecos2023.com/), provides a forum for participants to present new research results and exchange views on performance, economics, and environmental impact of energy systems, their design, modelling and possible management advancements. This topic includes original work that contributes to the knowledge of energy engineering field and that offers broad implications for energy process integration, simulation, control and optimization within the transition to a more sustainable energy system.  Topics include, but are not limited to: 

• Basic and applied thermodynamics;
• Exergy-based analysis: theories and applications;
• Heat and mass transfer;
• Computational Thermo-Fluid Dynamics (CFD);
• Process integration, process simulation and optimization, process monitoring & control;
• Sustainability;
• Resilience;
• Circular economy;
• CO₂ mitigation;
• Carbon footprint in the integral water cycle;
• Water-energy nexus;
• Environmental impact in energy systems;
• Renewable energy.
