2012 (2nd) International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE 2012) will be held in October 26-28, 2012 in Hong Kong, China. ICSGCE is an annual conference which aims at bringing together participants from academia, industry, engineering, and administrative organizations to exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, discuss innovative designs, address open problems, and share field trial experiences in smart grid and clean energy technologies. ICSGCE 2012 will feature keynote speeches and special sessions given and organized by international experts on smart grid evolution.
ICSGCE 2012 is sponsored by NSFC (National Natural Science Foundation of China), CRES (China Renewable Energy Society), JEST (Journal of Electronic Science and Technology), and Intercap Energy Systems, USA. The Conference is also supported by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, UESTC (University of Electronic Science and Technology of China), University of Wollongong (Australian), American University of Sharjah, and China Energy Association (CEA).
All manuscripts submitted will be peer reviewed by ICSGCE 2012 TPC. The Conference proceeding will be published by Elsvier Energy Procedia which is fully indexed by EI Compendex and ScienceDirect. 15% high-quality papers will be recommended to Elsevier high-impact-factor energy journals (www.energylocate.com) for possible publication. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version for possible inclusion in the special issue of Journal of Electronic Science and Technology (http://www.intl-jest.com), which is a DOAJ journal and indexed by Ei INSPEC and CA.
