Special Issue from the 5th International Anatolian Energy Symposium

It’s our pleasure to introduce the sixth volume of the Turkish Journal of Electromechanics & Energy (TJEE).  This special issue of the TJEE (Vol 6. No:1) is comprised of five articles selected from the 5th International Anatolian Energy Symposium (AES) which was held online from Trabzon, Turkey, during March 24-25, 2021 due to COVID-19 measures all around the globe. It affected every single aspects of our lives and we are just experiencing its short-term effects.  The way of teaching, scientific events have been totally adapted to new conditions. Even though it was technically possible before the COVID-19 era, online conferences, group meetings are now our among daily routines. It lacks of face-to-face communication, and joy of travelling yet it offers tremendous advantages such as attending more than one global event in a day without a dress code, and health condition.  As an irony, you can attend those events even if you are infected with COVID which was not quite possible during pre-COVID-19 era.
