Abstract
This article summarizes the available academic profile and award-related research context of Veerpratap Meena. The reported bibliometric indicators include 124 documents, 1,815 citations and an h-index of 22. The research area supplied for this profile is renewable energy technologies, a field concerned with sustainable energy generation, energy-system efficiency and the integration of emerging technologies. A listed publication addresses blockchain-based competitive negawatt modelling in virtual power plants. These details provide a starting point for examining research activity; verification of bibliometric data, publication metadata and award decisions should rely on authoritative records. [1] [2]
Keywords
Veerpratap Meena; renewable energy technologies; energy efficiency; virtual power plants; blockchain; negawatt model; research impact; sustainable energy; bibliometrics; academic recognition.
Introduction
Renewable energy research supports efforts to develop more efficient, flexible and sustainable energy systems. Its scope includes renewable generation, demand-side management, distributed resources and digital approaches to coordinating electricity networks. Evaluating researchers in this area benefits from considering publication records alongside research relevance, methodological quality and the potential contribution of individual studies. The supplied profile connects Meena with this wider research landscape and the Global Innovation Technologist Awards.
Research Profile
The supplied metrics indicate a substantial indexed publication record. The Scopus author identifier provides a route to reviewing the researcher’s indexed documents and citation information, while the ORCID record offers a persistent researcher identifier. Bibliometric indicators can vary as databases update records, merge publications or index new citations; consequently, the figures presented here should be treated as supplied profile data rather than independently verified real-time statistics. [1] [2]
Research Contributions
The identified research topic combines energy efficiency, distributed electricity resources and blockchain-enabled coordination. Virtual power plants aggregate distributed resources to support electricity-system operations. A negawatt model focuses on energy savings or demand reduction as a resource, while blockchain mechanisms may provide a framework for recording transactions and coordinating participation. Assessing the practical value of such approaches requires examining their assumptions, technical implementation, economic performance and implications for sustainability. [3]
Publications
A supplied publication record identifies the following journal article. Its stated publication date is December 2026, which is later than the current date of 23 October 2026; the date and publication status should therefore be verified against the publisher’s record.
- A novel framework for enhancing energy efficiencies and sustainability using Algorand blockchain-based competitive Negawatt Model in Virtual Power Plants. Computers and Electrical Engineering. [3]
Research Impact
The reported citation count and h-index offer complementary views of research visibility. Citations measure recorded references to published work, whereas the h-index reflects the relationship between publication quantity and citation frequency. Neither measure alone establishes originality, societal benefit or technical reliability. A balanced assessment should also consider the quality of evidence, reproducibility, collaboration and relevance to practical energy challenges. [4]
Award Suitability
The supplied profile is presented in connection with the Best Researcher Award under the Global Innovation Technologist Awards. Relevant evaluation considerations include documented research contributions, publication quality, citation context, methodological rigour and alignment with renewable energy technologies. The profile information alone does not independently establish nomination status, selection or receipt of an award; these outcomes should be confirmed through official event announcements.
Conclusion
Veerpratap Meena’s supplied academic profile records research activity associated with the National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur and renewable energy technologies. The listed bibliometric indicators and blockchain-enabled virtual power plant publication provide a framework for further assessment. Authoritative researcher profiles, publisher metadata and official award communications remain essential for validating the details and interpreting their significance.
