Conference Schedule

It was our great honor to have the following impressive keynote speeches in Energy Session of EEEP2020 online conference.

Prof. Efstathios E. (Stathis) Michaelides, our first keynote speaker, from Department of Engineering, Texas Christian University, USA, delivered a keynote speech on Technical Problems and Resolutions for the Substitution of Fossil Fuels with Renewables. His presentation examined the energy storage requirements for the substitution with renewable solar and wind energy of 3 examples and made thermodynamic analysis based on hourly data for electricity demand and averaged hourly data of the availability of solar and wind energy, revealing the hourly, daily and seasonal electricity demand and supply as well as the energy storage requirements for the fossil-with-renewables-substitution process.

Prof. Wenzhe Tang from Tsinghua University made a keynote speech entitled Sustainable Hydropower Development. After a brief introduction to the energy status of China, in view of the key unanswered question: how to align the multiple or conflicting objectives of hydropower development from a holistic perspective, he and his team presented solutions to sustainable hydropower development for China on three governance levels: national level, project level and international level.

The third keynote speaker, Prof. Alam Md. Mahbub representing Harbin Institute of Technology, gave a speech on Theoretical and numerical analysis of the origin of thrust of pitching hydrofoil. In his speech, theoretical and numerical analysis of the origin of the thrust on a forced pitching hydrofoil was done, and a theoretical model was developed to understand the origin of thrust produced by oscillating hydrofoil. The analysis provides theoretical relationships of thrust, power, and efficiency as functions of Strouhal number and/or amplitude ratio. The data from the numerical simulation tangibly support the relationships.

Prof. Bin Chen from Xi’an Jiaotong University made a speech on Roadmap to the hydrogen based sustainable energy system. His speech introduced a roadmap and technologies to the hydrogen based environmentally-friendly sustainable energy system with the advantages of large-scale and low-cost. Based on these technologies, hydrogen based sustainable energy system can be achieved in the foreseeable future.

Then Prof. Gangtao Liang, from Dalian University of Technology, China, delivered a wonderful speech on Universal Predicting Methods for Boiling Critical Heat Flux and Heat Transfer on Micro-Pit Surfaces. The keynote lecture reviewed different CHF models and associated mechanisms and parametric trends, as well as universal predicting methods for CHF. Also, pool boiling heat transfer enhancement on the micro-pit surfaces were reported systematically.

As the last keynote speaker in the morning, Prof. Dezhi Ning from Dalian University of Technology, made the speech of Hydrodynamic Investigation on an Offshore Cylindrical Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter. In their study, the hydrodynamic performance of a floating OWC WEC was investigated experimentally and numerically. It was found that the mooring stiffness has a great influence on the hydrodynamics, i.e., the hydrodynamic efficiency and the effective frequency bandwidth increasing with the mooring stiffness. The HOBEM model can enable the structural design of the floating OWC device.

Following the keynote speakers in the morning, Prof. Alexander Lukin, Principal Research Scientist & Executive Director, Western-Caucasus Research Center, Russian Federation, gave his keynote lecture in the afternoon. His speech title is New Insights in Control of Properties of the Hybridized Carbyne-Based Nanofilms rhrough Manipulating by Self-Organized Patterns Excitation at the Ion-Assisted Plasma-Driven Synthesis. In the lecture he reported the laboratory ion-assisted plasma-driven synthesis and plasma functionalization toolkit of hybridized carbyne-based nanofilms with embedded atoms of various chemical elements. A new nano-engineering strategy opened potential for improved advanced energy storage.

Next, Prof. Dongsheng Li representing Shantou University gave a speech on Structural Health Monitoring and Damage Identification of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines. His speech was quite interesting and deep in thoughts, initiating lively discussions among scholars during the Q&A Section.

As the last keynote speaker of Energy Session, Prof. Benedetto Nastasi from Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, ended the keynote speech section by making an excellent presentation on Hydrogen energy in Island and Off-grid Energy Systems. Through his speech, audience could learn that Islands and rural areas have been considered a challenge environment to test renewable energy integration strategies as well as cutting-edge technologies and that Hydrogen technologies could be the pathway to mitigate the afore-mentioned issues providing bidirectional energy exchange.

Following the keynote speakers, 9 scholars made oral presentations respectively in Energy Session in the afternoon. Information of speakers and their speeches, as well as screenshots are list as below.

In his speech, he introduced land filling problem causing by manufacturing waste, then proposed three primary routes for metal recovery. Besides environmental protection function, rare earths processing were also good for energy saving.

Prof. Chongchong Qi from Central South University, China made a keynote speech entitled Innovative Strategies for Industrial Solid Waste Recycling. In his presentation, different recycling methods were introduced for the disposal of industrial solid waste, which is possibly the most daunting challenge faced by the modern industry. With the application of the mentioned methods, the solid waste minimization and cleaner production in the modern industry will be promoted.

The third keynote speaker, Prof. Hooi Hooi Lean representing Universiti Sains Malaysia, gave a speech on Non-Linear Effect of Financial Development and Urbanization on Carbon Emissions. Her presentation examined the non-linear effects of financial development and urbanization on carbon emissions in 31 African countries for the 1990-2016 period, and the implication of this finding is that African countries can reduce carbon emissions through the acceleration of real GDP. The results also show an inverted U-shaped relationship between financial development and carbon emissions, albeit the non-linear relationship between urbanization and carbon emissions is tenuous.

Dr. G.Velvizhi from CO2 Research and Green Technologies Centre, VIT Vellore, India gave a recorded video presentation enetitled CO2 as a Potential Feed Stock for the Production of Value Added Products through Bioelectrochemical Systems for network connection problem. Her research revealed that the microbial sequestering of CO2 through bioelectrochemical systems are effective methods to convert CO2 to multi carbon organic compounds through biologically driven electrode potential to stimulate the selected electro-active microbial communities to produce the organic molecules. The research has wider applications to use industrial gas, anaerobic gases and syngas as substrate to convert into commercial viable products through an integrated refinery concept.
