Track 1: Renewable Energy and Green Technology
Renewable energy can be defined as the energy that comes from resources that can be replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Due to recent advances in renewable energy technologies which includes innovation in Green Nano Technology, costs for installation has comedown drastically. Solar Power Applications can play an important role in remote desert areas where grid integration is not possible. Onshore and Offshore Wind power generation and utilization can harness most powerful and frequent winds in remote areas. Most commonly used form of clean energy generation is Hydro power and Plasma Energy Generation is lesser known but with recent breakthroughs in research, it can emerge as reliable energy source in the future. GeoThermal and Ocean Energy forms a small percentage compared to other renewable energy technologies.
Two or more forms of energy generation mechanisms can be combined to create a Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems. But the changes in fluctuation of energy production can pose a problem to the entire Grid structure.
Track 2: Solar and Fuel Cell Technologies
Solar thermal technologies are a form of technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy or electrical energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors. Passive solar buildings and technologies use sunlight without active mechanical systems (as contrasted to active solar). Such technologies convert sunlight into usable heat (in water, air, and thermal mass), cause air-movement for ventilating, or future use, with little use of other energy sources. A common example is a solarium on the equator-side of a building. Examples include Concentrated solar power systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, on to a small area. Fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. They can be used to power vehicles which results in a sustainable transportation and biofuels such as ethanol can be an alternative to carbon emissions. Environmental and economic analyses of fuel cell systems includes producing water, heat and, depending on the fuel source, very small amounts of nitrogen dioxide and other emissions.
Track 3: Smart Grid Technology
A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses analog or digital information and communications technology to gather and act on information - such as information about the behavior of suppliers and consumers - in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.
Smart Grid Security and Reliability can be proven as major challenge for maintaining integrity of the entire network. Architectures for smart grids, micro grids and super grids involves elements such as Advanced metering infrastructure , artificial intelligence, neural networks and data mining. Modeling of Grid Environments can be defined by factors such as Load balancing in smart grids and Energy storage in smart grid.
Track 4: Power Generation – Conventional
The most common means for power generation includes employing Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy plants. Conventional energy sources such as Coal, Gas and Petroleum is commonly used and takes major share when compared with Renewable Energy sources. Nuclear power can be considered as one of the cleanest forms of energy production. But at the same time, the economic impact of nuclear disaster can result in dire consequences and huge economic loss which may last for generations. So, the safe nuclear energy generation and utilization draws a lot of debate from academics and populace alike.
Energy Generation from Fossil Fuels through Thermal and nuclear power technologies results in emission of large amounts of Co2 in to atmosphere. New technologies for minimizing CO2 generation have been developed in recent years through constant research and innovation.
Track 5: Power Transmission and Distribution
Power Transmission refers to the transfer of electrical energy from power stations to electric substations located near demand centers. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. Transmission lines, when interconnected with each other, become transmission networks. The combined transmission and distribution network is known as the "power grid" in North America, or just "the grid". In the United Kingdom, the network is known as the "National Grid".
The transmission losses of electricity over long distances from different sources of fluctuating energy sources can be overcome by using Ultra High Voltage (UHV) technologies. For example, in china majority of hydropower is generated in the west and coal resources in northwest. But energy demand is in the eastern and southern areas. As a result, UHV is an ideal choice for this scenario which results in reliable Power quality and Advanced Power Distribution.
Track 6: Power System Management
Power system planning and operation can be defined as understanding of generation, transmission, distribution of resources and the complex interaction of their operation as part of a large integrated power grid or an industry. Load modeling, estimation and forecast are vitally important for power sector both in regulated and deregulated economies. For profitable financial scenario for the power utilities it is important to make an accurate forecast of the demand for the long term, medium term as well as the short term and real time needs in order to efficiently deal with the shortages or surpluses.
Track 7: Regulations and Management
Energy Policies and regulations vary from nation to nation depending on the importance that can be bestowed upon the natural resources. For example, Oil rich Gulf countries depends on the economy through crude oil supply to nations globally. Energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, optimization techniques , incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, Energy management systems and pricing. Due to Global Warming caused by Carbon emissions, most of the countries have adopted policies to deploy renewable energy systems.
Track 8: Environment and Economic Policies
Energy economics is a broad scientific subject area which includes topics related to supply and use of energy in societies. Due to diversity of issues and methods applied and shared with a number of academic disciplines, energy economics does not present itself as a self-contained academic discipline, but it is an applied sub discipline of economics. Global environmental change and ecosystems management can be attributed to proper promotion of renewable energy and green technologies. Carbon capture policies can be used for Pollution prevention in industry. The improved role of government in promoting renewable energy will result in facilitation of Sustainable energy and the future.
