Foreword
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 29th International Conference ECOS2016,
which is being held in the pleasant Mediterranean environment of Portorož, a coastal town in
Slovenia.
ECOS2016 continues the tradition of bringing together scientists, engineers and professionals
as an outstanding international community of experts in the domain of energy. Here, the
essential fields of energy efficiency, cost, optimization, simulation and environmental impacts
are merged into a comprehensive conference program and proceedings.
We are very pleased that the ECOS conference is being held this year in Slovenia, and
organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana. This year is
the 60th anniversary of the first use of the word “exergy”, as published in the Journal of
Mechanical Engineering by a professor in our faculty, prof. dr. Zoran Rant.
The exergy concept for the investigation of thermodynamic processes in line with the Second
Law of Thermodynamics was initially not well accepted. Twenty years later, researchers in the
field of thermodynamics had recognized its importance and the real value of such an approach.
One of the basic conclusions of Rant was: “The price of heat based on enthalpy is basically
incorrect. Instead, one should introduce the usage of exergy. The consequence of such an
approach will lead to an increase in the price of electricity and a decrease in the price of heat.”
This important fact, which clearly leads to the rational use of exergy, is not broadly applied in
today's practice, such as for instance, the price of heat, defined on the basis of exergy. Today,
only the enthalpy difference, despite it being incorrect, still plays a major role in the invoices that
consumers receive. Therefore, we have decided to pay tribute to prof. Rant with a plenary
lecture on his life and work, which has been prepared by prof. Tuma, his last graduate student.
This year we have the wonderful opportunity to host prof. Osamu Motojima, a leading expert in
the field of fusion energy and the former General Director of the ITER project. He will present
the role of fusion energy in the future energy mix. Moreover, his plenary lecture will bring us
closer to the details of the ITER project and its progress.
An important milestone for ECOS2016 is the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the
International Journal ENERGY, one of the most influential journals in the field of energy. This is
a special recognition of the excellent collaborations in the ECOS community, as well as the trust
in the ECOS2016 Organizing Committee.
We would like to express our gratitude to the ECOS Scientific Committee and especially its
distinguished members, Tatiana Morosuk, the invited Conference Chair, and Noam Lior and
George Tsatsaronis, as Honorary Chairs. Our gratitude also goes to the numerous topic
leaders and reviewers, who made great efforts to produce these proceedings with 262
high-quality papers.
The conference would not be possible without all the excellent papers contributed by the
authors, as well as by the outstanding plenary and keynote lectures. We would like to thank all
the authors for their contributions and their participation at ECOS2016. Finally, we must thank
all the industrial partners and sponsors who supported the conference and helped maintain the
conference’s highest standards.
