Overview of the GREENTECH 2013 Conference
The Fifth Annual IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GREENTECH) builds on the success of previous
conferences. GREENTECH is an inter-disciplinary area with impacts in all human endeavors. The impacts
of our energy consumption are forcing us to fundamentally rethink every aspect of what, why and how we
do, reimagine of what and how we can do it differently, and recreate the capacity, structure and operations
to support our reimagination. GREENTECH 2013 will provide a forum for industry, researchers and
practitioners to address these wide-ranging issues covering various aspects of “green technologies.”
Areas of Interest
The conference Green covers both renewable and clean technologies, while Technologies includes
technologies, systems, processes and policies. The facilities are organized to foster innovation through
chance/deliberate idea collisions/fusions.
Example Topic Areas of Interest
Energy Transmission, Distribution and Efficiency:
Smart- and micro- grids, usage-based distribution (example, offices and homes). Novel energy efficient
devices, systems and operations. Life-cycle efficiency and optimizations: buildings, transportation, logistics
(supply chain), products and services
Energy Generation and Storage:
Renewable, low to zero emission, for example, biomass, wind, solar, fuel cells, ultra clean fuels, alternative
fuels (thorium/nuclear). Distributed, local/co- and poly-generation, storage systems.
Management and Control:
Sensors, monitoring, control, security, fail-safe and ad-hoc networks/communications, frameworks and
architectures, context-based management; process and systems simulation
Policies: Environmental, Legal, Social, Economic, and Political Impacts
Emerging standards for renewable and reduced carbon emission energy sources, safety, technologies for
developed and underdeveloped countries
As cited in IEEE Today’s Engineer (May 2012)
“The IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GREENTECH) continues to bring together scientists,
researchers and practitioners from around the world to develop realistic solutions to the current energy
crisis, and to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. The conference continues IEEE’s
commitment to next-generation clean technology”.
