Call For Papers

Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in Energies
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/, ISSN 1996-1073), and is now
open to receive submissions of full research papers and comprehensive
review articles for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Combined Heat and Power - Strategy and Practice
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/energies/chp/
Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Joshua Swithenbank
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 September 2012

This Issue addresses the topic of Combined Heat and Power, which is an
important contributor to energy efficiency and hence to mitigating global
warming. For most European countries there is a close energy match
between the low grade heat discharged to atmosphere by their thermal
electricity power industry and that required for heating their buildings. Thus
whilst building insulation and design can help close the gap, the fact remains
that most of these countries use CHP and district heating from power
stations and incinerators fuelled by non-recyclable waste to achieve efficient
use of energy and reduce their total carbon dioxide emissions. For example,
Vienna is an ancient city that heats 300,000 flats in a system fed by 5 local
power stations and 4 incinerators; whilst two thirds of all buildings in
Denmark are connected to a district heating system and one pipe main
extends 100 km westwards from Copenhagen to connect several power
stations. Similarly, 92% of all buildings in Helsinki are connected to a
district heating system and more than 92% of this heat is derived from CHP
units. A current priority for low grade heat technology in many developing
countries is to dramatically increase the installation of CHP into their towns
and cities. However, work is often required to overcome the technical,
social and economic barriers that have evolved from their historic energy
situation. Case studies, reviews and research papers on these and related
topics are invited.

Topics of interest for this Issue include, but are not limited to:

* Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
* district heating and cooling
* process efficiency
* carbon footprint
* heat distribution networks
* mapping heat sources and sinks
* energy from waste
* overcoming barriers
* case studies
* strategic issues of thermal energy technology
* socio-economic issues

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at energies@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

The Article Processing Charges (APC) are of 1000 CHF for well prepared
manuscripts submitted before 1 July 2012. The APC for manuscripts
submitted from 1 July 2012 onwards are 1200 CHF per accepted paper.
For details see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/instructions/. Manuscripts should be
submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial system at
http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/.

Energies, an open access journal publishing related scientific research,
technological developments, engineering, and studies in policy and
management, is published by MDPI online monthly. The journal Energies is
abstracted and indexed by Chemical Abstracts (CAS), COMPENDEX,
Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Science Citation Index
Expanded, Google Scholar, INSPEC, Open-J-Gate and Scopus. The first
impact factor of Energies released in 2011 is 1.130.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
