The History of the Division and the Significance of Publishing : The Role of Power Energy for Mankind

Abstract

The Power and Energy Systems Division (PESD) of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers was established in 1990. PESD decided to publish books of thermal and nuclear power generation as one of 30th anniversary projects. It can be said that we are at a turning point, such as, reducing carbon dioxide emissions to zero, and coping with the accident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. Eight volumes are published by Elsevier.
