Special Section on Efficiency, Cost, Optimization, Simulation and Environmental Impact of Energy Systems (ECOS 2019)

Abstract

Scientists and engineers participating in ECOS conference represent an outstanding international community of experts in a domain of energy systems. At ECOS, the indispensable fields of energy efficiency, cost, optimization, simulation and the environmental impacts are merged into a comprehensive conference programme. All the conference participants have the possibility to disseminate their work, to share, and exchange opinions and knowledge. The Team of ECOS Scientific Committee include the highest quality and worldwide recognized experts in the field, e.g., of thermodynamics, energy management, energy systems as well as sustainability and ecology. In the 32nd edition of ECOS Conference organized in Poland, 391 scientists from five continents participated and presented their work. During the conference, five invited lectures and 430 papers have been presented. Selected papers devoted to contemporary problems of energy systems presented during ECOS 2019 Conference were invited to an ASME Journal of Energy Resources Technology issue. We hope the readers will find this Special Section issue a valuable read.
