ARENA-2027

The Second International Conference on Advances in Renewable Energy Networks and Applications (ARENA-2027) is going to be organised for the second time by Department of Electrical Engineering, Interscience Institute of Management & Technology at Bhubaneswar. The Second International Conference on Advances in Renewable Energy Networks and Applications (ARENA-2027) is a premier international forum dedicated to bringing together researchers, academicians, industry professionals, scientists, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and students to discuss recent developments, innovations, and challenges in the field of renewable energy systems and their applications.
The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, technological advancements, and practical solutions that contribute to a sustainable and energy-efficient future. The increasing demand for energy, coupled with concerns regarding climate change, environmental degradation, and depletion of conventional energy resources, has accelerated the global transition toward renewable energy technologies. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, tidal, and hybrid energy systems have become critical components in achieving energy security and sustainable development. ARENA-2027 seeks to address these emerging challenges and opportunities by encouraging the exchange of knowledge and ideas among experts from diverse fields. The conference will focus on innovative approaches in renewable energy generation, transmission, distribution, storage, management, and utilization. It will provide a unique opportunity for participants to present their latest research findings, discuss technological breakthroughs, and explore future trends in renewable energy networks and applications. Through keynote speeches, invited talks, technical sessions, workshops, panel discussions, and poster presentations, attendees will gain valuable insights into the rapidly evolving energy landscape. With a focus on exploring Renewable Energy-Efficient Networks and addressing the challenges of climate change, ARENA-2027 aims to drive innovation and accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies worldwide.
