SYMPOSIUM and ROUND TABLE TOPICS

SYMPOSIUM TOPICS

Sustainable forms of energy today are a vital focus of societies everywhere. The big picture involves energy production with classical fossil and nuclear fuels that fulfill most current energy demands along with a rapidly increasing contribution from renewable energy. This symposium will cover all aspects of energy production and utilization.

• Energy production from gas, liquid and solid fossil fuels i.e. Gas/Oil/Coal that are not carbon neutral and generally considered to be polluted forms of energy production. Analysis and discussion will be undertaken on how these industries are coping with the reality of climate change and carbon emissions by decreasing their carbon foot print, improving efficiency and productivity, and capturing and sequestering CO2
• Energy production from nuclear fuels, an almost carbon free technology, but considered by some parts of society as a risky technology
• Developing and utilizing renewable energy technologies

The symposium will also cover but not be limited to efficient and sustainable efforts in existing technologies that provide the bulk of energy today.

• Power and Energy
• Power Electronics and Electromagnetism, Adaptive and Machinery Controls and Advanced Machinery Systems
• Power Generation and Energy Storage
• Power, Propulsion and Thermal Management

ROUND TABLE TOPICS

A round table discussion open to everyone interested will be organized at a specific date and time during the symposium. It will be a platform for high level representatives of various industries, technologies, and academic disciplines to freely discuss and debate all topics of this symposium, and identify positive and efficient pathways towards sustainability in industrial practices, technologies, and research.

Special attention will be devoted to the following topics that are emerging in the energy sector:

• Increasing contributions from renewable energy
• Energy storage technologies
• Improved designs for power transmission and distribution networks that work for both central and distributed power generation sources
• Electricity markets: regulated versus unregulated

You are cordially invited to actively participate in this symposium by submitting and presenting a paper, or by attending the round table. We look forward to meeting you at the Phuket, November 2021.
