IIT Madras, ARCI & INAE Organize National Conference on Energy Technologies

:- Conference brought together leading academic scientists, researchers & industry experts to discuss energy storage systems such as battery, fuel cells, supercapacitors, solar and wind energy

 

Chennai: Indian Institute of Technology Madras partnered with International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), Chennai, and Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), Chennai Chapter, to organize the National Conference on Energy Technologies (NCET-2022) on April 29 and 30, 2022.

The Conference brought together leading academic scientists, researchers, scholars and industry experts to exchange experiences and research results on all aspects of energy storage systems and technologies including battery, fuel cells, supercapacitors, solar and wind energy.

The Key Objectives of the National Conference were: 

  • Providing a common platform to share and exchange ideas
  • Deliberate on emerging national interest and global research trends
  • Evolve mechanisms for research/industry collaborations

Addressing the Conference, Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, highlighted the need for Grid Security and Data Protection. He stressed the need for energy auditing to save power. He also mentioned the interesting solutions provided by the start-ups and their need in realising the net-zero Atmanirbhar Bharath.

The topics that were discussed during the two-day National conference were:

  • Energy Storage Technologies for EVs, stationary applications and strategic sectors
  • Hydrogen and Fuel Cell technologies
  • Material selection and design for Energy Storage and Conversion
  • Process technologies for Recycling and Waste management
  • Energy Demand Analysis in Smart Grids and other sectors
  • Data Analytics for Renewable Energy Integration
  • Artificial Intelligence Applications to Energy storage devices

As many as 14 eminent scientists/academics/industry experts delivered lectures during the conference covering the spectrum of energy technologies along with 36 oral presentations by researchers. Four best oral presenters were awarded certificates and prizes.

The event was brainstorming with young minds and researchers working on energy technologies and would form a pathway to achieving Net-Zero.
