2013 Intemational Conference on Alternative Energy in Developing Countries and Emerging Economies
On behalf of Thaksin University, it is an honor, and a pleasure, to welcome all
participants to the 2013 International Conference on Alternative Energy in Developing
Countries and Emerging Economies held in Bangkok, Thailand.
Climate change is a serious issue that threatens economic and social development it all
countries. While the World has historically relied greatly on fossil fuels as a primary
source of energy, humanity is rapidly realizing that we collectively need to find and
adopt new patterns
of
energy production and consumption, new methods of
of land use and waste management to reduce the
transportation, and different types
impacts sf slimate change.
The 2013 AEDCEE Conference will bring together leaders in the altsrnative energy
industy, acadernic experts, research sectors and govenrments to meet, interact,
exchange ideas and discuss the state of the art of advanced technology, research and
development related to altemative energy sources. Solutions will also be offered in
order to respond to the growing demand from developing countries who aspire to
achieve environmentally sustainable economic growth.
I would like to
express my deepest gratitude and sincere thanks to the Research and
Development Institute and the Research Center in Enerry and Environment of Thaksin
University, along with our international partners, the Universit6 de Moncton (Canada)
and the University of Maryland (USA), who have contributed in one way or another to
the success of the Conference. I also want to express my deepest agreciation to the
sponsoni of the Conference, who believe in our people and in Thaksin University.
It is by working collectively and cooperatively that we will
move towards the
sustainable development of our nations. I trust this Conference will help to take us
clossr to our goals of implementing altemative energy sources for developing countries
and emerging economies.
While in Thailand, may you also take the opportunity to visit our great country and see,
first-hand, why we are called the l,and of Smiles.
Cordially,
Associate Professor Dr. Somkiat Saithanoo

2013 International Conference on Altemative Energy in Developing Countries and Emerging Economies
The 2013 AEDCEE Conference follows a most successfiil first edition held in 201I in
Hat Yai, Thailand. The interest in this Conference confirms a growing trend towards
renewable and alternativL energy in developing countries and in emerging economies.
Enerry security is an important determinant in the economic development of
jurisdictions and the quality of life of people. Over the past two centuries, countries
from the North had the privilege to develop using abundant fossil fuel based enerry, and
more recently, nuclear energy. During this period, carbon emissions were not an issue,
and nuclear waste was considered, and is still unfortunately considered in many
jurisdictions, a problem that we leave to future generations to solve.
In the context of climate
change and growing concerm regarding nuclear energy,
developing counfiies and ernerging economies do not have the same privilege. While
this is a challenge, it is also an opportunity.
Iadee4 as mentioned by Kandeh Yumkella, Chair of the UN-Energy, "Developing
counkies, many of them growing rapidly and at a large scale, have the opportunity to
leapfrog conventional energy options and move directly to cleaner energy altematives
that will enhance economic and social development". The rapid development of
altenrative enerry options based on renewable energy sources offers developing
countries and emerging economies the possibility to access indigenous energy sources
for their economic and social development.
The objective of the AEDCEE Conference series is to offer opportunities to disseminate
lnowledge, and exchange information and best practices, for an efficient development
of alternative energy for countries in the South. The stong response from the academic,
industy and govemment communities is an encouraging sign that alternative energy
and renewable energy are viable energy options forjurisdictions.
Thaksin University is emerging as a leader for altemative and renewable energy in
Thailand and South East Asia. It is with honour that the Universit6 de Moncton,
Canadq is participating in the organisation of the 2013 AEDCEE Conference and on its
Scientific Committee.
We wish all participants a good and productive conference, frtritful discussions and new
friendships.

2013 International ConfErence on Altemative Enerry in Developing Colmties and Emerging Economies
Following a most success first edition 1n20ll, we are proud to organize and host the
2013 Intemational Conference on Alternative Energy in Developing Countries and
Emerging Economies (2013 AEDCEE).
We hope this event will enable participants from developing as well as developed
counffies to meet and exchange their knowledge and valuable experiences in dealing
with alterrative energy and energy efficiency technologies. We also wish the
Conference will result in producing recommendations and inputs for establishing
workable strategies and action plans on these issues.
The 2013 AEDCEE Conference is hosting seasoned authors who contribute scientific
and technical high quahty papers on the topic of the Conference. We hope the
Conference will serve as a guideline for our endeavor regarding alternative energy
development and deplo5mrent that will lead to a better environment for future
generations, the children ofour children.
Likewise, we do hope you will enjoy the Thai hospitality and food. We would like to
thank the official sponsors of the Conference, the National Research Council of
Thailand (NRCT), Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), Electricity Generating
Authority of Thailand (EGAT), the National Science and Technology Development
Agency (NSTDA), the Research and Development Institute-Thaksin University, the
Faculty of Science-Thaksin University, the Research Center in Energy and
