Foreword

The 15th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies was a significant international academic conference in the domain of world sustainable energy technologies. The conference aimed to provide a forum for the exchange of latest technical information, the dissemination of up-to-date research results, and the presentation of major issues that may shape future directions of human society, such as sustainable energy technology research, its application and energy security.

Held from July 19th to July 22nd 2016 in Singapore, the conference was a collaboration between the World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET) and the National University of Singapore. World-renowned experts and scholars in the area, representatives of prominent enterprises and universities attended to discuss new developments and achievements in the field, as well as promoting academic exchange, application of scientific results, university-industry collaboration and government-industry collaboration.

The papers contained in these proceedings focus on topics such as Energy Storage for the Age of Renewables; Research, Innovation and Commercialisation in Sustainable Energy Technologies; Integrating Planning & Policy, Architecture, Engineering & Economics; Energy and Environment; Engineering Thermo-physics; and Systemic Change for Cities.

Over 400 delegates from 30 countries attended SET2016; over 400 abstracts were received and 49 papers have been published in the conference proceedings. I hope you enjoy as much as I did the breadth of work you will find in this book.

We would like to thank all participating authors for their contributions to both the conference and to the publishing of this book. We are also indebted to our international scientific committee for their advice and seemingly endless review of papers. We would also like to thank unreservedly Professor Chi-Hwa Wang and his team for their tireless efforts in making SET2016 a very successful conference.
