Presentation of Papers

We welcome papers, brief technical notes, and posters. You are invited to present your research or discuss your technical developments in our printed proceedings.

Please be prepared to submit an abstract of maximum 3,000 characters (free style) as well as a brief summary of the nature of your work and level of expertise.

Attention: Deadline extended until 1 June, 2012

We have just made an agreement with IEEE that the 10 best papers of the Solar/Wind Integration Workshop will be considered for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, subject to the copy right officially transferred to the IEEE by the authors from the copy right holders ( conference proceeding publisher).. The 10 best papers will be forwarded to the editors of IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy with special recommendation by the wind and solar workshop advisory committees. While the recommendation by wind and solar workshop committees does not guarantee publication, the recommended papers will go through a special fast review process by the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy reviewers.

To make sure that all interested authors have a chance to be considered for the best papers, we have decided to extend both Calls for Papers until 1st June, 2012.

 

Please note that abstracts will only be accepted if submitted to the workshop's online abstract submission system.

Based on this information, authors will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by 22 June, 2012.

Final papers must then be submitted 15 September, 2012 at the latest.

Authors will need to register but are entitled to pay a reduced workshop fee. All presented papers and posters will be published in the workshop proceedings (ISBN 978-3-9813870-6-3).

All participants are responsible for paying their own travel and hotel expenses.

Please select a subject for your work from the list of conference topics.
