Your opportunity to get published
The IPowerE technical papers programme is now underway and Members and others in the industry are invited to submit abstracts for papers to be either delivered at one of our ordinary meetings or published direct in the Power Engineer, the IPowerE’s technical journal. IPowerE ordinary meetings are held several times each year and all the papers presented are reviewed and subsequently published in the Power Engineer. If you, or your company, has a topic you would like to have published then here is an opportunity not to be missed.
To be part of the papers programme please send in your abstract for review as soon as possible. Don’t wait – let us have your abstractright away in 100-150 words. If you have an idea for a paper, simply send an email, get in touch and we will be delighted to assist.
Background
The papers programme is the backbone of the IPowerE technical programme and is part of our 100 years valued tradition of encouraging authors to write and present technical papers. These were then presented at our ‘Papers Day’ but now would be presented at our Seminars and Conferences.
IPowerE and published papers – The IPowerE tradition
Since the formation of our institution more than six hundred and fifty technical papers have been delivered and these are available to members in the IPowerE library. The institution exists to share/disseminate knowledge in the field of engine technology and technologies related to power generation, mechanical power, marine propulsion and rail traction. Our technical papers tradition encourages and provides the opportunity for authors to have their work published with peer review, thus making the knowledge of the technologies available to a wide audience. Peer review of the papers is made in several ways; first by an initial review by the papers committee on submission of the paper, secondly by the Q&A during a papers day or a general meeting and also by comments invited on publishing in the Power Engineer.
The range of topics IPowerE is seeking paper abstracts for include:
Reciprocating engine and gas turbine technologies
Operator and user experience
New challenges facing the power industry for example – energy storage
Marine propulsion
Rail traction
Distributed Power and Renewables Support
Standby and emergency generation
Emissions Compliance
Fuels, including use of fuels from renewable sources and lubricants
Ancillary systems and supporting technologies
IPowerE challenges all engineers involved in the field worldwide to take the challenge write and offer a technical paper over the coming weeks. So please submit your abstract to IPowerE for consideration. Those successful in having a paper accepted for publication will become eligible for consideration for one of our annual awards.
Notes and instructions to authors are available on request. In the first instance simply contact us sending a short abstract (half page) setting out what your paper will cover and send this to the Papers Coordinator at enquiries@ipowere.org or by mail to:
