Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy
The Journal of Power and Energy covers all aspects of energy conversion systems, including power generation, transmission and use.
The Journal of Power and Energy, Part A of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, is dedicated to publishing papers of high scientific quality on all aspects of the technology of energy conversion systems. Papers reviewing specific systems from a strategic and economic standpoint are particularly welcome.'
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The Journal of Power and Energy is a peer reviewed journal which covers all aspects of energy conversion thermo-fluid systems, including: renewable energy, power generation and its use. In addition to technical developments, interests include environmental, economic and policy issues. Turbomachinery, fuel cell systems, energy management, emission reduction, waste management, heat exchangers are principal but not exclusive, areas of focus. The Journal of Power and Energy does not publish papers on electrical machines, electrical grid management or power electronics. Papers that use modelling should include experimental data for validation. If the concept being modelled is novel, then validation of sub-models should still be demonstrated.
The journal the following aims:
-
To promote and encourage engineering advancement and innovation through sharing of knowledge.
-
To identify what has been learned and to enable others to reproduce and build further knowledge, extend methods and concepts and to test theories.
-
To enable authors and organisations to receive recognition and credit for their disclosures
-
Power generation using innovative and conventional sources including: fossil, nuclear, and renewable systems.
-
Energy storage, Regenerative and Fuel cell systems.
-
Advanced and innovative cycles.
-
