News

IET Renewable Power Generation has been successful in its application for inclusion in Thomson's 'Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E)'. All papers published since the journal's launch in March 2007 are now included in this database. As a result of this success, the journal will receive its first Impact Factor in June 2010!

Readers will be able to access new content even faster from 2010 – the journal is increasing its publication frequency from 4 to 6 issues!

Scope

IET Renewable Power Generation brings together the topics of renewable energy technology, power generation and systems integration. Other technologies having a direct role in sustainable power generation such as fuel cells and energy storage will also be covered, as will system control approaches such as demand side management, that facilitate the integration of renewable sources into power systems, both large and small. Specific technology areas covered by the journal include:

• wind power technology and systems
• photovoltaics
• solar thermal power generation
• geothermal energy
• fuel cells
• wave power
• marine current energy
• biomass conversion

The journal provides a forum for the presentation of new research, development and applications of renewable power generation. Demonstrations and experimentally based research are particularly welcome. Research that explores issues where the characteristics of the renewable energy source impact on the power conversion and where the wider system control or operation are central to the challenge of integration are particularly encouraged.

The journal is technology focused covering design, demonstration, modelling and analysis, but papers covering techno-economic issues are also welcome.
