Welcome note

The 3rd Conference on Thermal Power Plants (Gas, Combined Cycle, and Steam) starts on October 18, 2011 in Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. Energy crisis has brought a great deal of attention to electrical energy and the associated industries. The complexity of power generation made it more important as compared to other related industries.
