The 6th Annual 2014 IEEE Green Technologies will be held in Corpus Christi, Texas at the Corpus Christi Omni Hotel April 3-4, 2014.
Sponsored by IEEE USA, IEEE Region 5, and IEEE Corpus Christi Section, and commonly referred to as IEEE GreenTech, the purpose of the Conference is to solicit unpublished, original papers on the field of Green Technology, and offer presentations, workshops, and invited talks in related fields.
This year’s theme is SOW the Seeds of our Future. The theme, which is an acronym for Solar, Ocean, and Wind, focuses on green technology that is deployed in coastal and marine environments, although any papers on Clean Technology, Green Technology, and Renewable Energy will be considered. This is a relevant theme for the location, considering it is situated on the Gulf Coast.
Topics to be discussed at this year’s conference include, but will not be limited to:
•Ocean/Tidal/Wind/Solar/Geothermal Energy Conversion
•Green Energy Generation and Storage
•Green Energy Transmission and Distribution, Smartgrid
•Biomass, Bio-Fuel as Green Energy
•Green Buildings
•Green Energy Policies, Management and Control
•Green Energy Pedagogy and Curricula
Keynote and Invited Speakers include:
