In the following some of the references of JS energy Team are gathered, in collaboration with the University of Ljubljana, Lund University, University of Stavanger and Jadavpur University. Many of them were presented in terms of publications that were derived from industrial-project reports and presented at numerous international conferences. Some of the research results were taken a step further and were published as scientific papers.
