The publication of the first scientific-research journal on energy by Amirkabir University of Technology.
| Last update: 2025/02/1 |
The head of the Energy Engineering and Physics Department at Amirkabir University of Technology and the editor-in-chief of the journal announced the publication of the first issue of a specialized scientific-research journal in the field of energy in English, stating that articles in this area had previously been published in unrelated journals, and the first issue of this journal will soon be released by Amirkabir University of Technology.
According to the university's public relations office, Dr. Parviz Parvin mentioned that the first issue of this journal, titled "Advances in Energy Science and Technology," is currently being printed.
He emphasized that the energy journal, abbreviated as AEST, will publish full scientific articles, short letters, review articles, and technical reports on the latest advancements and scientific findings in the field of energy.
Referring to the significance of this journal, published by Amirkabir University, he added that the country has diverse fossil and renewable energy resources and that Iran is considered one of the important global producers of various energy types. Moreover, Amirkabir University has five faculties—Energy Engineering, Energy Management, Electrical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering—that specialize in academic activities related to energy topics, while the Chemical Engineering faculty also pursues energy-related issues.
Dr. Parvin continued, “Unfortunately, there has not been a journal in the country dedicated specifically to the field of energy, and researchers and professors have had to submit their articles to non-specialized journals. With the emphasis of Dr. Rahai, the president of Amirkabir University of Technology, measures have been taken so that although the journal starts as a scientific-research publication, the best and selected articles will be published in a special issue of reputable energy journals, such as the journal Energies. Especially for those professors who need a scientific-research article for promotion in one of the university's internal journals, we assure them that the energy journal is one of the reputable platforms where professors can become active.”
The head of the Energy Engineering and Physics Department added, “In this regard, we have had discussions with professors conducting research abroad in the field of solar power plants to collaborate academically with them in the editorial board of this journal.”
Parvin described energy as one of the main factors for economic advancement and gross domestic product, as well as sustainable development, adding, “Since energy is important for our country, where we have special advantages, this journal will cover all areas of energy, including fossil fuels, oil and gas, cryogenic technology (LNG), nuclear power, and clean energy such as hydrogen, solar, and wind. In particular, it aims to provide suitable solutions for the growing issues of energy imbalance in energy management and economics.”
He identified key topics in this journal as the production and distribution of energy, renewable energy, energy policy-making, modeling, and optimizing energy consumption, as well as energy and environmental issues, stating, “Fortunately, given the many specialists at Amirkabir University of Technology in this field, we can utilize them to enhance and develop the activities of this journal.”
The head of the Energy Engineering and Physics Department, referring to the energy resources available in the country, noted, “In oil and gas resources, our country ranks first in the Middle East, which is a good opportunity for the country to develop advanced technologies in collaboration with the university within the framework of this journal. However, since our perspective in the energy development program is to utilize clean energy, we should also pursue advanced technologies in renewable energy. Iran has enormous potential in solar renewable energy resources.”
He emphasized that the potential for producing several thousand megawatts of wind energy and more than 100,000 megawatts of solar energy in the country has been assessed. He reminded that the worst climates in Iran are better than the best climates in European countries and even Turkey for installing photovoltaic solar power plants, as most regions in Iran have solar irradiation of over 1.2 kilowatts per square meter.
The head of the Energy Engineering and Physics Department at Amirkabir University of Technology concluded by saying that hydrogen storage and research into various batteries and improving their lifespan are also key topics in this journal. We hope that Amirkabir's energy journal can provide a suitable platform for the growth of technology and localization in the field of energy.
