Title: "Economics, Management, and Market Design for Sustainable Energy Systems"
This special session focuses on the economic and managerial dimensions of sustainable energy systems, emphasizing how technological innovations are translated into real-world deployment and value creation. It aims to explore market design, policy frameworks, investment strategies, and business models that support the transition toward low-carbon energy. Topics include energy pricing, regulatory mechanisms, industrial dynamics, and decision-making under uncertainty. By bridging engineering advances with economic and management perspectives, the session provides a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers and practitioners, fostering insights into efficient, scalable, and sustainable energy system development.
This special session is distinct from the regular program as it shifts the focus from energy technologies themselves to the economic and managerial mechanisms that enable their large-scale adoption and operation. While the main tracks emphasize energy sources, materials, and engineering processes, this session addresses how these technologies are integrated into markets, shaped by policy, and sustained through viable business models. The novelty lies in its interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from energy economics, management science, and industrial organization with technical energy research. This perspective is essential for understanding real-world energy transition dynamics and for translating technological advances into impactful and scalable solutions.
Keywords: Energy Economics and Policy Analysis, Electricity Market Design and Regulation, Carbon Pricing and Emissions Trading Systems, Investment and Financing of Energy Projects, Business Models for Renewable and Clean Energy, Energy Transition Strategies and Industrial Dynamics, Cost–Benefit and Efficiency Analysis in Energy Systems, Supply Chain and Network Analysis in Energy Industries, Innovation, Diffusion, and Technology Adoption in Energy, Risk Management and Decision-Making under Uncertainty
