Topic of Keynote:
Forty Years of Innovations in Energy storage With Phase Change
Dr. Adrian Ilinca
Université du Québec à Rimouski, Canada
Adrian ILINCA is Professor at Université du Québec à Rimouski since 1994 after receiving his Ph.D. from École Polytechnique de Montréal. The main areas of interest are renewable energies, hybrid energy systems, energy storage, and, more recently, optimization in these areas using artificial intelligence. The main contributions are the adaptation of wind energy technologies to cold climates, optimization of hybrid systems allowing higher renewable energy penetration, different energy storage systems. The resulting technologies are applied for remote areas’ electricity production and in rail and maritime transport industries to reduce GHG emissions.
Topic of Keynote:
Optimization of Renewable Energy Penetration in Hybrid Systems through Pneumatic Hybridization of Diesel Generators
Dr. Sébastien Poncet
