As research and interest in smart grid and sustainable technologies increases, IEEE Power & Energy Society is launching two new cross-disciplinary and archival journals featuring original research, papers, and surveys of existing work. The first issues of these two new titles, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid and IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy will launch in 2010. ?" C' J I8 l/ Q" \2 E
