Special Invited Session

Besides the general sessions for RPG 2017 which open to the public for paper submission (see “Technical Scope” for more information about the general sessions), we are pleased to announce that RPG 2017 will include some Special Invited Sessions which are organised and chaired by the leading experts in the Renewable Power Generation sector.

Topics of these invited sessions are chosen based on their expertise and research interest. Submission to the invited sessions is BY INVITATION ONLY however if you would like to submit to one of the invited sessions please contact the session chair and discuss your paper BEFORE submitting. Otherwise your paper will be moved to the general session for consideration of acceptance. All delegates are very welcomed to attend both general sessions as well as invited sessions during the conference.
