About This Special Issue
Energy Conversion and Management is a peer-reviewed special issue of International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering that specifically disseminates the latest developments and original researches on energy conversion technologies and management. The aims mainly are to collate interdisciplinary knowledge and to make significant contributions to all aspects of energy conversion field. The subject areas considered include, but are not limited to:

1. All sources, forms and uses of energy generation and conversion systems: new, renewable (e.g. wind, solar, geothermal, hydro energy, etc.), mechanical, thermal, nuclear, chemical, electrochemical, magnetic, electromagnetic, electrical energy, and so on.
2. Energy efficiency and management
3. Sustainable energy
4. Micro energy conversion and power systems
5. Thermoelectricity, thermionic, photoelectric, thermal-photovoltaic, fossil fuels and nuclear resources
6. Single and combined cycles
7. Hydrogen production and storage
8. Advanced fuel cells and batteries
9. Water management and desalination
10. Magneto-hydrodynamic conversion processes
