Abstract
Vibration control for nonlinear systems has been a key technology in many engineering
fields. Especially active nonlinear vibration control is necessary to suppress vibration more
efficiently. Recently, smart materials have been used as vibration control actuators and
sensors in many dynamic systems to realize the reduction in size and weight of actuators,
such as piezoelectric elements, shape-memory alloy, and magnetic fluid etc. In this talk, we
show 1) nonlinear vibration control schemes for a wing plate system with piezoelectric
actuators based on operator theory, 2) nonlinear vibration control for a flexible arm using
an interactive Shape Memory Alloy actuation, 3) robust nonlinear vibration control for a L-
type arm with piezoelectric actuator & sensor and linear motor. Further, some current
simulation and experimental results are shown.

Bio
Hirohito Yamada received his B.E. degree in electronics engineering from Kanazawa
University, Japan in 1981, and his M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics engineering from
Tohoku University, Japan in 1983 and 1987, respectively. In 1987 he joined NEC Corporation
where he has been engaged in research on semiconductor lasers as well as Si nano-photonic
devices for use in optical fiber communication systems in the research laboratories.
In 2006, he moved on Tohoku University as a professor. He is engaged in education of
communication engineering and research on photonic integrated devices. After
experiencing the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, he started his research on solar
power generation and DC microgrids. He built his off-grid house and has been living without
purchasing electricity from the utility company for over seven years.

Abstract
As growing importance of edge computing the need for locating huge numbers of small
data centers anywhere from road intersections to building rooftops. These huge numbers
of data centers will lead to consume large amounts of electricity in the near future. We built
micro data centers (MDCs) that accommodates multiple small server machines in an
outdoor container box equipped with a cooler. Furthermore, we installed those micro data
centers on the roof of our school buildings, connected to a DC micro grid and powered by
100% renewable energy (solar power). Using those MDCs that operate on electricity from
solar power generation, we are experimenting with job scheduling operations according to
power conditions. In my talk, I will touch on the effects of job scheduling, operation under
the hot summer sun, and talk about how to effectively operate MDCs in outdoor
environments with 100% renewable energy.

Speech Tile: Role of Microgrids and Virtual Power Plants in Decarbonization

Bio
Professor Farhad Shahnia received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Queensland
University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, in 2012. He is currently an A/Professor at
Murdoch University. Before that, he was a Lecturer at Curtin University (2012-15), a

Power Distribution Company, Iran (2005-08). He is currently a Fellow member of Engineers
Australia, Senior Member of IEEE, and member of the Australasian Association for
Engineering Education.

Abstract
Electricity systems around the world are experiencing a radical transition as the
consequence of replacing fossil fuels, used for electricity production, by sustainable and
cleaner energies. The growing penetration of renewable energies requires smarter
techniques capable of handling the uncertainties of these intermittent sources. Along with
this change, traditionally centralised power systems are also converting into distributed
self-sufficient systems, often referred to as microgrids, that can operate independently.
Virtual power plants are frameworks under which microgrids can be deployed within
communities and enable energy transaction amongst retailers, customers and private
investors. This talk will focus on the role of microgrids and virtual power plants in
decarbonisation of the energy sector.

Title: Theoretical study on melting of phase change material by natural
convection
Authors: Bingkun Huang and Jun Wang
Presenter: Bingkun Huang, Southeast University, China

Abstract—Natural convection plays a crucial role in latent heat storage system.

Determining how natural convection affects the melting of phase change
mate-rial (PCM) will provide a better understanding of the melting process and
give helpful advice on strengthening techniques. The research content of this
paper is a mathematical model is established to explain the melting process of
PCM affected by natural convection. The mathematical model of phase change
melt-ing process is given by introducing the natural convection and the
14:00-14:15 temperature gradient. A coordination factor (Co) based on the mathematical
CE-033-A model, which is an instantaneous quantity and proportional to the heat
exchange rate and the in-tensity of natural convection, is introduced to explain
the melting process. A square-shaped and shell-tube (concentric, eccentric)
PCM heat storage unit were numerically analyzed in more detail. It is found
that the Co factor is close-ly related to the melting rate. It will not promote the
melting rate when Co less than 0 while it will promote the melting rate when
Co higher than 0, and the higher the Co value, the faster the melting rate. This
model gives a clear and quantitative explanation for the problem of melting
interface movement affect-ed by natural convection, as well as that increasing
the heating temperature and changing only the shape of the heat storage unit
can greatly enhance the heat storage rate in this study. The model also
provides theoretical guidance for the study of the phase change heat storage
enhancement.
Title: Performance assessment of an electrically reconfigurable photovoltaic
array in an off-grid system
Authors: Aaron Keith Y. Chan and Erees Queen B. Macabebe
14:15-14:30 Presenter: Erees Queen B. Macabebe, Ateneo de Manila University,
CE-099 Philippines

Abstract—Partial shading of photovoltaic (PV) modules reduces the output

power of a PV system. Electrically reconfigurable arrays have been proposed

19
20

to increase the power output of shaded PV systems. In this paper, an

electrically reconfigurable PV array was built using the total cross-tied (TCT)
topology. The array was then tested via manual shading using different shading
patterns. Furthermore, the array was deployed and left to reconfigure on its
own in an environment where shading due to clouds and foliage is expected.
The I-V and P-V curves of the PV array show that the power improvements
expected of the array after reconfiguration were met. However, when
connected to the balance of system components improvements were not met.
During pilot deployment, the speed of changing shading patterns also affected
the outcome. Thus, when designing a PV system that incorporates a
reconfiguration of PV modules the following need to be considered. First, the
parameters of partial shading at the target location need to be assessed. This
includes expected shading patterns, and speed of changing patterns. Second,
the effect balance of system components needs to be taken into account, such
as component efficiencies, speed of maximum power point tracking, and
system type.
Title: Rapid synthesis of Ti3C2Tx MXene via microwave-assisted hydrothermal
as a supercapacitor electrode material
Authors: Artiqah Khairudin, Fatin Saiha Omar, Siti Aisyah Shamsudin,

Hazierah Kamaruddin, M.I. Rosli, Arshid Numan
Presenter: Artiqah Khairudin, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia

Abstract—Supercapacitors have attracted interest as one of the most

promising energy storage devices, owing to their higher energy density
compared to conventional capacitors, higher power density compared to
batteries, and longer lifespan. MXene, an emerging two-dimensional (2D)
transition metal carbide with the formula Mn+1XnTx has demonstrated its
14:30-14:45 potential in an energy storage system due to its high conductivity, good
CE-135-A flexibility and tunable surface terminating group (Tx). Herein, titanium carbide
(Ti3C2Tx) MXene was synthesized using microwave-assisted hydrothermal
method at different temperature (30oC, 35oC and 40oC). Ti3C2Tx MXene was
formed by the etching process of Al layer from its precursor Ti3AlC2 MAX
phase using lithium fluoride (LiF) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), followed by
hydrothermal process for 10 minutes. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed
the removal of Al layer and the formation of Ti3C2Tx MXene. Ti3C2Tx MXene
electrode were prepared and its capacitive performance was tested by series
of electrochemical analysis, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic
charge discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in
1 M potassium hydroxide (KOH). Among the synthesized sample, Ti3C2Tx
MXene prepared at the temperature of 40oC (T40) exhibited the highest

Abstract—The analysis of thermoelastic damping (TED) is an important issue

in designing precise MEMS vibrating resonators. Especially, the frequency shift
(FS) in the approximated dissipation model needs to be considered in terms of
accuracy and sensitivity. In this paper, a formula is developed to investigate the
FS due to a 3-dimensional (3D) TED in a circular-cross-sectional ring. The
temperature profile of the existing TED model for a torus ring is summarized
in the form of thermal moment. And then, the moment is integrated through
the cross-sectional area to form an equation of motion and expressed as an
eigenfrequency with thermal effect according to Young's modulus. The
difference with the existing isothermal frequency is then summarized in the
form of a ratio to develop an expression of explicit function for FS. The
convergence of the model is examined by numerically analyzing the results at
various temperatures for Si, which is known as a common semiconductor
material. Additionally, a practical analysis is performed with vibration mode
number and aspect ratio as independent variables. The trend of results
suggests that the expected conditions under which FS should be considered,
especially for high temperature, high vibration mode number, and high aspect
ratio.
Title: Operating condition optimization of zeolite desiccant wheels for a
clothing care system
Authors: Seungbeom Ko, Myeong Hyeon Park
Presenter: Seungbeom Ko, Korea University, Republic of Korea

Abstract—Many studies on desiccant wheels have been conducted such as

applying a new material or extending a new system under residential air
conditions. However, there is no study on zeolite desiccant wheels operated in
15:00-15:15 high temperature and humidity, which are the operating conditions of a
CE2-003-A clothing care system. In this study, the performance of a zeolite desiccant
wheel for a clothing care system was evaluated through experiments and
optimal operational condition were calculated. The optimal diameter of the
zeolite desiccant wheel was 0.24 m, and the optimal thickness was 0.017 m.
The moisture removal capacity (MRC) and sensible energy ratio (SER) of the
small-sized desiccant wheel were evaluated according to the temperatures,
absolute humidity and volumetric flow rate of the supplied air for each process
and regeneration in a chamber. The desiccant wheel showed a MRC of 0.94
kg·h–1 and SER of 0.22, respectively.

CE2-004
Abstract—A kettle-type evaporator heat exchanger (TEMA BKU) is utilized to
cool natural gas on the tube side from -34°C to -55°C, using Multi-Component
Refrigerant (MCR) as the cooling medium on the shell side. During operation,
the heat exchanger encountered recurrent leakage issues at the channel-

21
22

tubesheet bolted flange joint, particularly during the cooling down process.
The primary objective of this research is to identify the causes of leakage and
to propose viable solutions for minimizing the risk of leakage. To achieve this,
Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed as an investigative tool to
analyze the mechanical factors contributing to leakage. Results from the FEM
investigation indicate that the leakage in the bolted joint of the heat exchanger
is attributed to reduce of gasket seating stress as an effect of bolts self-
loosening, influenced by several factors such as bolts plastic deformation,
flange stiffness characteristics, and uneven temperature distribution. The
study also reveals that gasket seating stress decreases after each shutdown
compared to the previous start-up due to plastic deformation on bolts and
flange gasket surfaces after shutdown. The findings of this study provide
critical insights into the mechanical behavior of bolted flange joints in heat
exchangers and offer guidance for their improved design and maintenance,
enhancing operational reliability.
Title: Study of Honeycomb Layering in Multi-plane Configuration for
Vibrational Energy Harvesting
Authors: Rui Qin Tan, Choon Lih Hoo, Chun Haw Lai, Faruq Muhammad

Presenter: Hoo Choon Lih, Heriot-Watt University Malaysia, Malaysia

Abstract—Vibration Energy harvesting converts renewable energy, ambient

kinetic energy mostly generated from unwanted mechanical parts vibration or
human motion into electrical energy. The honeycomb beam has shown
promising results with better vibrational dynamics compared to other shapes
or geometry. Dynamical deflection is one of the main factors for effective
15:30-15:45 vibration energy harvesting which depends on the stiffness of the structure.
CE2-032 This research aimed to investigate the frequency response of honeycomb
beam in single layer and double layers configurations with different
thicknesses and out-of-plane orientation layout. Multi-plane configuration
allows the manipulation of the vibrational amplitude to weight ratio for better
adaptability to suit different applications. Simulation and experiment were
conducted to investigate and compare the dynamical amplitude and natural
frequency. The double layers honeycomb beams have higher natural
frequencies as compared to single layer for the same thickness. The vibrational
amplitude decreases with thickness for the same layering configuration due to
stiffness. Double layer orientation could potentially provide higher amplitude-
to-weight ratio, therefore power as compared to single layer with weight
manipulation in its configuration.

Title: A Novel Three-phase Smart Inverter based on Long Short-Term
Memory Network for VAR Compensation
Authors: Ying-Yi Hong, Jyun-Hao Bai
Presenter: Ying-Yi Hong, Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan

Abstract— As the proportion of renewable energy generation in the power grid

continues to increase, integrating it into the grid will have a significant impact
on the existing power system. Therefore, countries around the world have
introduced strict standards for renewable energy grid integration, especially
when grid faults occur. Renewable energy sources must be able to inject
reactive power to maintain grid voltage at required levels via smart inverters
in case low voltage occurs. In the past, inverter control primarily relied on
Proportional Integral (PI) controllers, and parameter tuning was often done
through trial and error or empirical methods. This approach was time-
14:00-14:15
consuming, costly, and lacked robustness. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
CE-057
networks, on the other hand, offer advantages of recurrent neural networks
while addressing the issues of vanishing and exploding gradients. This paper
utilizes LSTM networks followed by fully connected layers as the primary
controller for the inverter. The paper uses both an outer loop and an inner loop
to off-line optimize the LSTM network controller, replacing traditional PI
controllers. The inner loop employs the Adam optimizer to optimize the
weights and biases of the LSTM network and the fully connected layers, while
the outer loop uses the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to optimize the
initial learning rate and batch size of Adam optimizer and the number of hidden
units in the LSTM network. Through simulation and experimentation, the
proposed method achieved smaller averages of Root Mean Squared Error
(0.0243) and Mean Absolute Error (0.0106) compared to those (0.0407 and
0.0330) obtained by the traditional PI controller, respectively. These results
indicate that the proposed method outperforms traditional PI controllers.

Abstract— Inverter-based power sources that connect renewable energy to
the power grid are being increasingly implemented in recent years. Among
them, grid-connected inverters that use battery energy to perform virtual

23
24

synchronous generator (VSG) control to simulate the inertial characteristics of

synchronous generators (SGs) have gained considerable interest. The current-
controlled VSG (iVSG™) discussed in this study exhibits the characteristics of
grid-forming (GFM) inverter control that enables both grid-connected
operation as well as paralleled stand-alone operation, while employing the
current feedback control as the primary control method. However, when
distributed power sources connected via a common grid-following (GFL)
inverter generate power, they may cause interference with the connected grid.
This interference can be avoided by adjusting the control parameters of each
power source, even in microgrids that use iVSG™ as the primary power source.
In this study, we reproduced this interference situation through mathematical
and experimental analyses to identify the eigenvalues that cause the
interference and the parameters that participate in the interference. The
obtained guidelines for adjusting the control parameters of iVSG™ are
reported.

Technology, Thailand

Abstract—This research aims to study the application of fuzzy logic to optimize

parameter values for adjusting the control parameters in the servo drive that
14:30-14:45
uses the movement of the servo motor. Process automation requires the
CE2-017
convenient and quick control of distance, speed, and acceleration by using a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to command, display, and control as
accurately and thoroughly as possible significantly reducing the tolerances to
a minimum. This research compares the experimental results between manual
tuning parameter settings and parameter adjustment using the proposed fuzzy
logic system. It also collects movement speed and position with different loads.
The experimental results are different weights that compare and find
efficiency values and tolerances. The fuzzy logic results are more satisfactory
than using the original in all cases.
Title: Process design of producing biohydrogen from biomass (bagasse)
gasification
Authors: Wei Wu, Nitsara Panichkittikul, Yaneeporn Patcharavorachot
Presenter: Wei Wu, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan

14:45-15:00 Abstract—Hydrogen is also a compelling choice for electricity, power, and heat
CE-039-A generation due to its cost-effectiveness, abundance, and versatility. Biohydro-
gen is a form of hydrogen known as green hydrogen, which is generated from
biomass [1]. Sugarcane, the world's second-largest commodity crop, is
cultivat-ed in countries such as Brazil, India, China, and Thailand. Sugarcane
bagasse, the primary by-product of the sugar cane industry, comprises
approximately 50% cellulose, 25% hemicellulose, and 25% lignin. Its plentiful

24
25

supply makes it a favorable material for both microbial processes and energy
conversion through combustion or gasification, enabling the production of
fuels and valua-ble products [2, 3], and biomass gasification is a promising way
to convert bio-mass into valuable energy, biofuels, and chemicals [19]. In this
study, a new in-tegration of the water gas shift reactor and CaO adsorption
process connected to biomass gasification with the steam/supercritical water
agents for improving the hydrogen production process is shown in Fig. 1.
Simulations show that steam gasification integrated with CaO adsorption (SG-
CaO) is optimized at specific conditions, resulting in high-purity hydrogen at
99.95%. Similarly, the super-critical water gasification integrated with CaO
adsorption (SCWG-CaO) re-quires specific conditions, achieving exceptionally
pure hydrogen at 99.99%. In terms of energy analysis, SCWG-CaO
outperforms SG-CaO, with higher hy-drogen yield (14.16%) and greater
energy efficiency (42.32%). It shows that the SCWG-CaO is a suitable and
efficient approach for biohydrogen production, considering factors such as
hydrogen purity, yield, and energy efficiency.
Title: A Hydrogen Production System Based on Ammonia Combustion Heat:
Graded Decomposition and Parameter Analysis
Authors: Zongyao Kang, Bin Liu, Xiaohui She
Presenter: Bin Liu, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, China

Abstract—This study introduces a hydrogen production system that utilizes

the heat from ammonia combustion for graded decomposition. About 17% of
the ammonia undergoes combustion to provide heat for the subsequent
decomposi-tion of the remaining ammonia. To enhance economic efficiency
and reduce costs, a design combining precious and non-precious metals is
15:00-15:15 employed, aim-ing to decrease the usage of precious metal catalysts without
CE-232-A compromising de-composition efficiency. Considering the required
temperatures for the two cata-lysts, high and low-temperature decomposers
are established to achieve cascad-ed energy utilization in the flue gas. The
preheating temperature of ammonia before entering the decomposer plays a
crucial role in both ammonia decompo-sition efficiency and the system's fuel
consumption. Following optimization, the system yields 493.6kg/h of hydrogen
with an inlet ammonia flow rate of 4000kg/h. Concurrently, the discharge
temperature of the flue gas decreases to 378.59K, effectively utilizing a
substantial portion of the energy. This study in-troduces a novel approach to
designing an ammonia decomposition system us-ing ammonia combustion as
a heat source, and it serves as a reference for sub-sequent optimization

Title: Modeling and simulation of vacuum arc considering the influence of
anode melting pool protrusions
Authors: Haibo Su, Rui Li, Jun Xiong, Yong Wang, Junxiang Liu, Lu Zhu,
Hongbin Wang and Zeng Yang
Presenter: Lu Zhu, Guangzhou Electric Power Supply Company, China

Abstract—When the vacuum circuit breaker interrupts the high current, the
anode surface experiences a significant influx of energy, leading to rapid
heating and subsequent melting. Simultaneously, a substantial quantity of
metal vapor is generated through evaporation, entering the arc column to
interact with the cathode plasma. This paper establishes a vacuum arc burning
15:30-15:45 model that considers the impact of anode melting pool protrusions on the
CE-093 characteristics of the vacuum arc. The results demonstrate that as the number
of protrusions increases, the density of neutral atomic vapor also rises. This is
due to the larger tip area of big protrusions, resulting in more widely
distributed jets. Additionally, larger protrusions worsen the uneven
distribution of ions, causing accumulation near the electrode's edge. When the
protrusions are symmetrically distributed around the melting pool, the ion
pressure distribution is also symmetrically distributed, and the pressure peak
increases with the increase in the number and size of protrusions. When the
protrusions are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the anode melting
pool, the distribution of their axial ion velocity is also symmetrical. The shape
and geometric features of large protrusions may lead to exacerbating
asymmetries during ion transport.

Abstract—Layered transition metal oxides are promising high energy density

electrodes for lithium/sodium batteries. Herein we study the application of
commercial sodium battery electrode material MS-XN-33S-Ternary sodium
nickel-ferric manganate layered oxide (NFMNa) in low temperature ceramic
fuel cells (LT-CFCs). We investigate its crystal structure, microstructure, sur-
face state, and applying it as the electrolyte functional layer for fuel cells. By
using electron microscopy and surface analysis characterization techniques, it
is determined that in addition to layered material NaNi0.34Fe0.33Mn0.33O2,
there is also polycrystalline Na2CO3 in the NFMNa materials. NFMNa
electrolyte fuel cells devices have 0.102 S cm-1 ion conductivity at 520 °C.
NFMNa materials have proton conduction at 400-600 °C and no oxygen ion
conduction, which is tested using hydrogen and oxygen concentration cells.
BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.2O3-δ (BZCY) has better compatibility with electrode
LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCAL) than NFMNa. Cell devices with BZCY buffer
layer have better low-temperature performance, obtaining a power density of
123 mW cm-2 at 340 °C. And the NCAL (anode)-BZCY/NFMNa-NCAL
(cathode) device achieve a constant cur-rent of 100 mA cm-2 for 110 h
discharge output. This work contributes to the development of LT-CFCs
electrolytes and a comprehensive understanding of the material properties of
layered oxide electrodes in lithium/sodium batteries.

Abstract—In this work, the process simulation and heat exchanger network of
a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) integrated with an ethanol partial oxidation
(POX) process were carried out. The performance of the SOFC-POX system
was evaluated through Aspen Plus simulator. Gas compositions obtained from
14:15-14:30
POX and SOFC were calculated by using the Gibbs free energy minimization
CE-063
method. A detailed electrochemical model was taken into account all various
voltage losses (i.e., activation, ohmic and concentration losses). Effects of
operating parameters, including POX temperature, SOFC temperature, and
oxygen to ethanol (O/E) molar ratio, on both the electrical and the thermal
performances were examined. The simulation results indicated that the
suitable condition of POX was at temperature of 700 oC and O/E ratio of 0.1
while the SOFC should be operated at the temperature of 900 oC. Under these
operating conditions, the maximum of the electrical and thermal performances
of the system are 67.24% and 25.77%, respectively. Next, the heat integration
of the SOFC-POX system was considered using pinch analysis. The minimum
cold utility is 88.1 kW while the hot utility is no need for this system.

Abstract—Supercapattery has emerged as one of the possibilities in the

electrochemical energy storage system as a consequence of the expansion of
technological advancement and the electrical vehicle sector. The novel
hydrogenated amorphous carbon/ manganese sulfide (a-C:H/MnS)
nanosheets were fabricated via hydrothermal assisted plasma-enhanced
chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) at various flow rates (70, 80, 90 and 100
sccm). The existence of a-C:H/MnS revealed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD)
diffractogram, and a-C:H was effectively grown on MnS. The a-C:H/MnS were
seen under a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The
crystalline structure of a-C:H/MnS nanosheets are susceptible to variation
depending on flow rates, and at 90 sccm. Through Brunauer–Emmett–Teller
(BET) analysis, the physical adsorption investigations demonstrated the high
total surface area of a-C:H/MnS electrodes. The findings of BET studies
demonstrate that a-C:H/MnS-90 has the highest surface BET (SBET) and the
smallest pore size distribution (PSD), which later increases the total surface
area of a-C:H/MnS for an effective energy storage mechanism. The a-
C:H/MnS-90 has a maximum specific capacity of 2559.1 C/g at 0.8 A/g and a
47% rate capability. Supercapattery devices were created in a a-C:H/MnS-
90//activated carbon (AC) configuration to assess the real-time performance
of the material. The a-C:H/MnS-90//AC demonstrated better efficiency by
offering a specific energy of 15 Wh/kg at 4000 W/kg. The life cycle test
confirmed that a-C:H/MnS-90//AC is stable with a capacity retention value of
97% after 7000 cycles.
Title: Influence of Li2MnO3 Content on Structure and Electrochemistry of
Lithium-rich layered oxides for Li-Ion Batteries
Authors: Shu-Yi Tsai, Kuan-Zong Fung
Presenter: Shu-Yi Tsai, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan

Abstract—Lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs), described as 𝑥𝑥Li2MnO3·(1–

𝑥𝑥)LiTMO2 (TM = transition metal, Mn, Ni, Co, etc.) have recently emerged as
promising cathode materials for high-energy storage applications. In this
14:45-15:00
study, a series of cathode materials with the different ratio of LLOs were
CE-208
synthesized via the sol-gel method to investigate their structure and
electrochemical properties. The crystal structure of the samples was examined
using X-ray diffraction, revealing that the LLOs cathode possessed composite
characteristics. Increasing the Li2MnO3 content was found to stabilize the
lithium-rich structure, thus increasing the capacity. However, the irreversible
reaction of Li2MnO3 would reduce the capacity. These factors resulted in the
0.5Li2MnO3·0.5LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathode exhibiting the best
electrochemical performance, with a discharge capacity of 250 mAh/g.

Presenter: Mingjun Nan, Dalian Maritime University, China

Abstract—The energy storage technology could solve this problem, integrate

renewable energy better into the power grid, and provide a stable and reliable
energy supply for the power system. In the field of large-scale energy storage,
flow battery technology has good application prospects due to its high safety,
high cycling performance, and environmental friendliness. Among the multi-
tude of energy storage technologies. Manganese-based flow battery is
desirable for electrochemical energy storage owing to its low cost, high safety,
and high energy density. However, in manganese-based flow batteries with
acidic and neutral systems, Mn3+ will undergo disproportionation reaction,
resulting in un-controlled generation of MnO2, which leads to clogging of the
electrode piping and other core components, thus affecting the cycle life of the
flow batteries. In this work, the bottlenecks in titanium-manganese flow
batteries are identified and improved through systematic chemical and
electrochemical studies. The utilization rate of electrolyte and the cycling
performance of titanium-manganese flow battery can be improved through
the reasonably design of the battery structure and the structural control of the
active materials in the battery. Moreover, the reaction mechanism of the
charging and discharging process of titanium-manganese flow battery is
deeply studied, and the energy density of manganese-based flow battery is
further improved by the development of novel material and further increase
the concentration of electrolyte. As a result, the ti-tanium-manganese flow
batteries could operate stably for more than 400 cycles at a volume capacity of
45 mAh L-1, which could provide a foundation for the commercial application
of titanium-manganese flow battery.
Title: A Multiple-Output Battery Charger with Dynamic Voltage
Compensation and Adaptive Charging Current Controls for Fast Charging
Authors: Pang-Jung Liu
Presenter: Pang-Jung Liu, National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan

Abstract—To minimize charging duration and simplify circuit complexity in

parallel charging, this paper introduces a multi-output charger featuring
dynamic voltage compensation (DVC) and adaptive charging current (ACC)
controls. Due to the parasitic resistance, a typical charger transitions from the
15:15-15:30 constant current (CC) to constant voltage (CV) phase without reaching the full
CE2-013-A voltage of the battery packs. The DVC control calculates the parasitic
resistance and identifies the appropriate transition point, thereby extending
the duration of CC phase and reducing the CV charging time. Utilizing the
battery voltages, the ACC control automatically optimizes the charging
currents in CC and trickle current (TC) phases, preventing damage to multiple
batteries. Consequently, the ACC control facilitates quick and efficient
achievement of battery voltage balance for parallel battery packs. The
measured results confirm the extension in the durations of CC phase and a
reduction in CV phase, and then the corresponding reduction in total charging
duration by approximately 6.7%.

Title: Proton conductor NASICON-structure Li+xCdx/2Zr2-x/2(PO4)3 as solid

electroly te for Intermediate-temperature fuel cell
Authors: Xiuxiu Li, Jun Wang
Presenter: Xiuxiu Li, Southeast University, China

Abstract—Low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes at intermediate

tempera-trues hinder the commercialization process of solid fuel cell
technology. Sodi-um superionic conductor (NASICON) -structure with rigid
three-dimensional network and an interconnected interstitial space is
expected to be an ideal solid electrolyte for fuel cell. Based on the H+/Li+
exchange engineering strategy, here we report a NASICON-structure proton
conductor Li1+xCdx/2Zr2-x/2(PO4)3 (x=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) derived from
15:30-15:45
CdZr4(PO4)6 to construct fuel cell device. Among all samples,
CE-036-A
Li3Cd1Zr1(PO4)3 cell device exhibits a high performance including peak power
density 815 mW cm-2, proton conductivity 0.165 S cm-1 and activation energy
0.372 eV at 550 ℃. Theoretical calculation and experi-mental study both
suggest that the high proton conductivity benefits from the unique 3D
interstitial space and rapid exchange in the NASICON. Under fuel cell
operating conditions, the interstitial space of Li1+xCdx/2Zr2-x/2(PO4)3 (x=2)
fully substitutes mobile Li+ with H+, enabling proton movement along
transport pathways with lower activation energy. The new transport
mechanism and ex-cellent proton conductivity suggest that this kind of
Li1+xCdx/2Zr2-x/2(PO4)3 elec-trolyte materials open up new opportunities
for enriching novel electrolyte ma-terials in intermediate temperature protonic
ceramic fuel cells (IT-PCFCs).
Title: Penghu Transforms into a Low-Carbon Island: An Analysis of Social
Preferences for Renewable Energy Development and Ecological Compensation
Authors: Han-Shen Chen, Hung-Yu Kuo
Presenter: Han-Shen Chen, Chung Shan Medical University, Taiwan

Abstract-As global climate change intensifies, achieving net zero carbon

emissions has be come a key goal in the international community's pursuit of
sustainable development. Against this backdrop, this study focuses on
Taiwan's efforts to transform Penghu into the first "low-carbon island,"
exploring the feasibility and challenges of completely converting its power
15:45-16:00
energy to renewable sources, with the aim of making Penghu a global practice
CE-187-A
case for high-population-density low-carbon islands. However, while
promoting renewable energy, it is also necessary to pay attention to its
potential envi-ronmental impact, especially on biodiversity and land use. To
address this issue, this study employs the Choice Experiment method to
establish five major sustainable devel-opment attributes: biodiversity, land-
use patterns, public participation, visual impact, and conservation trust funds.
It uses three statistical methods–Conditional Logit, Ran-dom Parameter Logit,
and Latent Class Model–to analyze respondents' preferences and attitudes
towards wind power generation and ecological compensation plans, and dis-
cusses the balance and trade-offs between sustainable energy development

30
31

and ecologi-cal protection. This study successfully retrieved 912

questionnaires, of which 839 were valid, yielding a response rate of 92.0%. The
study findings reveal that (1) Penghu resi-dents have an open and supportive
attitude towards promoting renewable energy poli-cies, which is beneficial to
the implementation of related sustainable policies; (2) indi-vidual average
monthly income has a significant impact on tourists' selection prefer-ences;
and (3) both surveyed tourists and local residents generally believe that the
cost of ecological compensation should be borne by renewable energy
companies and related institutions. This study provides valuable academic
insights into achieving Penghu's low-carbon island vision and ecological
conservation strategy, offering significant ref-erence value for the formulation
and execution of related policies.

Title: Energy Storage Requirement and System Cost in Achieving Net Zero
Emission with Wind and Solar Power
Authors: Dong Zhang, Yunzhou Zhang, Zhengling Zhang, Jing Wu
Presenter: Dong Zhang, State Grid Energy Research Institute, China

Abstract—Under the carbon neutrality goal, wind and solar power have
become one of the most important options for decarbonizing the power
system. This article takes the power system predominated by wind and solar
power as an example to construct a two-stage production simulation model.
The load duration curve is used to optimize hydropower and other power
sources that need to consider energy balance in a time period. The time-series
load curve is used to optimize coal-fired power, nuclear power and other
15:45-16:00
conventional power sources output. A provincial level large-scale power
CE-111
system is taken as example, and different capacity combination scenarios of
wind and solar power are set up to do daily simulation and yearly simulation.
The proposed production simulation model is used to study the energy storage
configuration and power supply cost changes along with the increase of
capacities and generations of wind and solar power while approaching to near-
zero emissions. Research results show that even if the total capacities of wind
and solar power reach 226% of the maximum power load, fossil energy
generation still accounts for 9%. System operating costs rise steadily as the
proportion of wind and solar power capacity increasing. There has a saturation
effect on replacing fossil energy generation by increasing wind and solar power
capacities, as well as the energy storage to promote the consumption of wind
and solar power.

Abstract—Indonesia has the potential to store around 800 TWh of energy in
off-river pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) sites across all its islands,
including Java and Bali. This study presents an hourly operational analysis of
off-river PHES to support renewable energy mixes that meet the domestic
electricity demand in Java and Bali. Totalling around 95.9 TWh of off-river

32
33

PHES were identified and assessed to meet the electricity demand in 2020.
While the energy mixes met 100% of the electricity demand, energy storage of
up to 22.02 TWh/year was observed. The water requirement for the PHES can
be up to 155 GL daily, especially in February and November-December. Using
off-river PHES as energy storage could cover it and ensure clean electricity
production. This study provides a high-resolution analysis of off-river PHES as
an energy storage system (EES) to support renewable energy mixes for clean
electricity production.
Title: Evaluation of Electrical Energy Used Within the Educational Institution
System Based on the History of Consumption, Base Energy Load, and Energy
Utilization Index
Authors: Edison E. Mojica
Presenter: Edison E. Mojica, Polytechnic University of the Philippines,
Philippines

Abstract—The history of electrical energy consumption is important

information to assess its behavior. The study was an initial stage in the conduct
of an elec-trical energy audit that determines the actual consumption
associated with the facility and the potential savings associated with the
consumption. The execution of the electrical energy audit can provide
enormous benefits in different capacities as it can help in the reduction of
energy cost in each fa-cility brought about by the evaluation results. This study
was an evaluation of electrical energy used within the system among four
16:15-16:30
higher educational institutions in the Philippines with the objective of
CE-006
assessing its individual consumption considering the base energy load, per
capita consumption, and energy utilization index. University campuses are
representation of diverse buildings with varied energy consumptions and can
provide excellent testbeds for electrical energy audit to comprehend the
consumption based on the different profiles. The complete analysis of the
consumption of elec-trical energy was conducted by assessing the per capita
consumption and the energy utilization index provided by certain standards
and code. The per capita consumption of the four HEIs in the year 2018 and
2019 are all acceptable and each person consumed energy within its ideal
consumption versus that of Statistica Research Department. However, the
analysis of the consumption per given area based on the Philippine Green
Building Code shows that there was poor electrical energy performance. To
provide benchmark for energy conservation, HEIs may have adopted the
average consumption of 2018 as its base energy load in 2019 and thus, savings
may have been made in electrical energy consumption among all these HEIs.
Title: Analyzing the Impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
on Driving the Energy Transition

Abstract—This comprehensive study examines the determinants influencing
energy transitions, specifically focusing on the essential environmental, social,

33
34

and governance (ESG) dimensions. Our research encompasses six prominent

nations, both leading and emerging, acknowledged for their robust energy
infrastructures and high transition readiness, spanning the crucial period from
2011 to 2021. A notable feature of our methodology is the adept application of
panel threshold regression with Elastic-net estimation, providing nuanced
insights into the nonlinear facets of energy transition drivers. Acknowledging
the intricate relationship between ESG factors and energy transitions, our
study asserts that nations endowed with superior ESG standings are
strategically positioned to allocate substantial resources. This strategic
allocation expedites the transition towards sustainable energy sources,
presenting a compelling case for a swifter and more efficacious energy
paradigm. Drawing inspiration from the discerning insights of FORESIGHT
Climate & Energy, we underscore the mainstream integration of ESG trends.
This integration stimulates substantial investments, particularly from
institutional investors, propelling the energy transition and transforming the
nation's energy sector into a nexus of expertise and capital. Consequently, a
heightened regulatory emphasis on ESG considerations emerges as not merely
beneficial but imperative, fostering an optimal environment for societal well-
being good governance, and influencing policy agendas towards sustainable
trajectories. A hallmark contribution of our study lies in the nuanced
exploration of the threshold effect of ESG on energy transitions. Through
meticulous analysis of yearly panel data from six select countries over the
2011–2021 period, our utilization of panel threshold regression, explicitly
employing the elastic net method for estimation, distinguishes our work within
the academic discourse. This comprehensive exploration of various ESG
factors, accounting for the threshold effect, elevates our study above existing
literature, which often confines its focus and neglects these critical nuances.
The resounding message from our findings resonates with the efficacy of the
elastic net method for panel threshold regression, surpassing conventional
approaches such as OLS, ridge, and lasso. Moreover, our analysis conclusively
identifies S9 (unemployment) and S8 (school enrollment) as pivotal
determinants steering energy transitions. Economic recession-induced
unemployment (S9) emerges as a potent catalyst propelling energy transitions
as governments pivot towards green job creation. Additionally, our study
emphatically underscores the direct positive correlation between higher scores
in school enrollment (S8) and intensified energy transition, highlighting the
pivotal role of human capital in propelling the development of transformative
clean technologies. Our study is an academic contribution that transcends
exploration, presenting a compelling narrative that urges stakeholders,
policymakers, and investors to recognize the urgent significance of ESG factors
in steering an accelerated, resilient, and impactful global energy transition.
Title: Renewable Energy Production without Land Use Competition. The
Contribution of AGRI-PV to the German Energy System Transformation

Abstract—The German government aims to achieve a transition to renewable

energy by 2045, but this will increase land use conflicts. AGRI-PV is a technical
solution to mitigate land use competition. However, its potential has yet to be
scientifically investigated in Germany. This study aims to fill this gap by
assessing the land-use potential of AGRI-PV and its spatial distribution using
a socio-technical Geographic Information System (GIS) model. The results
show that the total AGRI-PV potential on permanent, moderate, and full shade
tolerant crops is about 265,000 ha or 0.8% of the total area of Germany and is
mainly located in the southern regions. About one-third of this area has a
privileged size of 2.5 ha. The AGRI-PV potential on high-quality soils with a
Soil Quality Rating >=85 accounts for 1.5% of the total German area, 11.7% of
the permanent crops, 30% of the moderate shade-tolerant crops and 20% of
the full shade-tolerant crops. The majority (81%) of the permanent crop area
is well or moderate suitable for AGRI-PV. Further research is needed to better
model the complex interactions between food and energy production and to
integrate the aspects of crop rotation and water management and the techno-
economic aspects of plant size and grid connection or on-farm use of the
electricity produced. In addition, social sciences are needed to consider the
embedding of AGRI-PV installations in the cultural and recreational landscape
and to enable a more comprehensive socio-technical assessment of scenarios.
Title: Enhancing Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting: The Role of the
Economic and Policy Uncertainty
Authors: Paravee Maneejuk, Woraphon Yamaka
Presenter: Paravee Maneejuk, Chiang Mai University, Thailand

Abstract—Strategic planning for the entire energy system hinges on the

pivotal activity of demand and supply forecasting. Accurate predictions not
only mitigate uncertainty but also empower better decision-making regarding
the operational facets of the energy system. Precise forecasting is
instrumental in achieving energy-efficient resource allocation. In the
contemporary landscape, fossil fuels constitute a substantial 82% of the global
energy share in 2021. Despite being finite resources, the demand for fossil fuels
17:00-17:15
has witnessed a dramatic upswing, foreboding potential energy shortages in
CE-078-A
the future. Mounting evidence correlates mass production and consumption
of energy with environmental degradation and global warming. Consequently,
renewable energy sources have emerged as a critical solution to the impending
energy shortage. However, De Chalendar and Benson (2021) caution that
despite significant support and the introduction of various renewable energy
types, these alternatives may fall short of compensating for the burgeoning
energy demand. The imperative for sustainable energy development goals
necessitates collaborative demand-to-supply management to strike a delicate
balance between energy demand and supply. Consequently, modeling and
forecasting energy demand and supply have assumed central importance in the
energy sector, garnering extensive attention from researchers and
policymakers. Yet, enhancing forecasting models for accurate energy

35
36

predictions remains a formidable contemporary challenge. Energy demand and

supply forecasting stand as essential activities for investors and policymakers,
offering a crucial means to navigate future challenges stemming from dynamic
shifts in demand and supply. Achieving this requires a reliable forecasting
model to uphold high energy-efficient resource allocation. However, the
persistent challenge lies in enhancing these models for precise energy
prediction. In light of this, our study introduces the World Economic Policy
Uncertainty (EPU) index as a predictor for energy demand and supply. We
scrutinize its potential to enhance forecasting accuracy in both realms.
Leveraging Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) models, we generate
recursive out-of-sample forecasts, considering model variants that exclude or
include the EPU index. Overall, our findings indicate that the EPU index
significantly improves the forecasting performance of the BVAR model in
predicting energy demand. However, its predictive performance in forecasting
energy supply is comparatively weaker. In conclusion, our results suggest that
the EPU index holds promise as a leading indicator for predicting energy supply
trends, providing valuable insights for stakeholders in the energy sector. The
study highlights the persistent need for refined forecasting models to navigate
the intricate dynamics of energy demand and supply effectively.
Title: Status Quo, Advances and Futures of Machine Learning in Fault
Detection and Diagnosis for Energy: A Review
Authors: Hao Chen, Jianxun Feng
Presenter: Hao Chen, University of Twente, Netherlands

Abstract—ault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) plays a crucial role in

maintaining the in-tegrity and efficient operation of modern industrial
systems, from manufacturing sectors to process industries. FDD involves
identifying and classifying abnormal conditions that could lead to equipment
failure, production inefficiencies, or safety hazards. However, traditional FDD
techniques face challenges in handling vast data and complex system dynamics
and ensuring timely and accurate fault detection in dynamic environments.
17:15-17:30 Manual inspections and heuristic approaches are inadequate, and statistical
CE-184 process control methods have limitations in cap-turing complex relationships
and adapting to evolving process conditions. To overcome these challenges,
advanced techniques such as deep learning-based ap-proaches have emerged,
leveraging the capabilities of neural networks for fault detection and diagnosis.
These approaches have shown promising results in han-dling high-
dimensional, nonlinear, and time-varying process data. This paper re-views the
advancements, challenges, and prospects of deep learning in FDD in industrial
systems. Firstly, it discusses the emergence and development of deep learning
methods applied to FDD and their applications in relevant fields. Sec-ondly, a
new development path that combines deep learning with big data is pro-posed
to address the increasing production data in modern industrial settings. Fi-
nally, the opportunities and limitations of deep learning in FDD are clarified,
providing insights for future research and development in this area.

Title: Toward User-Centered Bounded State Estimation for the Distribution

System with Distributed Energy Resources
Authors: Wei Tian, Hsiao-Dong Chiang
Presenter: Wei Tian, Tianjin University, China

Abstract—Due to the advantages of energy conservation and environmental

protection, distributed energy resources (DERs) have been widely integrated
into the distribution system. It is essential to develop a state estimation
method with high accuracy and reliability for the power grid with distributed
energy to ensure the secure operation of the distribution system. Due to the
17:30-17:45
limited real-time measurements result, pseudo-measurements with large
CE-196
measurement errors are generally used to increase redundancy in the state
estimation, while this may affect the accuracy of the estimation results. A
user-centered bounded distribution system state estimation (UBC DSSE)
model is derived from operators' requirements for real-time measurement
residuals to ensure the quality of the estimation solution. A dynamical system
derived from the model of UCB DSSE is employed to establish the theoretical
foundation, while the theory-based state estimation method is developed with
a robust computational mechanism. Numerical evaluations are conducted to
demonstrate the performance of the theory-based state estimation method
and to compare it with the WLS method, which has promising results.
Title: Effects of Ag Doping on the Characteristics of NiO/Si Heterojunction
Diodes
Authors: Jun-Dar Hwang
Presenter: Jun-Dar Hwang, National Chiayi University, Taiwan

Abstract—Ag was doped in NiO thin films, AgNiO, and was spin-coated on n-
Si substrate. Heterojunction diodes (HJDs) without Ag doping NiO/Si) and
with Ag doping (AgNiO/Si) were fabricated to study the effects of Ag doping
on the characteristics of NiO/Si heterojunction diodes. It was clear that a
17:45-18:00 crystalline structure was observed in AgNi0; however, no crystalline was
CE2-007-A investigated in NiO films. It suggested the Ag dopants is helpful in the
crystallization of NiO. The HJDs with Ag doping presented a rectification ratio
by about ltwo-orders higher than that of HJDs without Ag doping. The issue
is caused by that the HJDs with Ag doping exhibited a lower leakage current
than that without Ag doping because a crystalline structure in AgNiO. A lower
ideality factor was appeared in the HJDs with Ag doping than that without Ag
doping, inferring the interface of AgNiO/Si had less defect than that of NiO/Si.
The HJDs with AgNiO/Si structure showed a lower series resistance than that
of the HJDs with NiO/Si structure, attributing a crystalline structure in AgNiO.
Detail carrier transport mechanisms were studied here.

Abstract—Indonesia has the potential to store around 800 TWh of energy in off-
river pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) sites across all its islands, including
Java and Bali. This study presents an hourly operational analysis of off-river
16:00-16:15 PHES to support renewable energy mixes that meet the domestic electricity

Presenter: Zhaoyu MAO, Zhejiang University, China

Abstract—In this paper, a novel type of asymmetric interior permanent magnet

synchronous motor (AIPM) is presented. The motor's topology is based on an
16:15-16:30
interior U-shaped structure, with an asymmetric slot-type stator and
CE-090
dissymmetrical permanent magnets (PMs) in the rotor. The influences of both
stator and rotor variables are investigated using finite element analysis. The
Taguchi Algorithm is applied for optimization under constant copper loss,
resulting in a significant enhancement of torque quality. A further comparison
between the proposed AIPM and IPM is conducted, including output torque, air
gap flux density, and dual-direction rotation performance. It is demonstrated
that the proposed AIPM effectively reduces cogging torque and torque ripple,
while also enhancing average output torque to a certain extent.

Authors: Nirmal Vineeth Menon, Siew Hwa Chan

Presenter: Nirmal Vineeth Menon, Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore

Abstract—The use of hydrogen as a source of fuel for marine applications is

relatively nascent. As the maritime industry pivots to the use of alternate low
and zero-emission fuels to adapt to a changing regulatory landscape, hydrogen
energy needs to present and substantiate a technical and commercially viable
use case to secure its value proposition in the future fuel mix. This paper
leverages the technoeconomic and environmental assessment previously
performed on HyForce, a hydrogen-fuelled harbour tug which has shown
encouraging results for both technical and commercial aspects. To solidify and
further strengthen this use case, this study embeds HyForce in a virtual
environment to further evaluate its operational performance through
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of realistic environmental
conditions. The results of this study indicate that the speed of HyForce has a
profound impact on total resistance peaking at 97.3 kN at 12 knots. Together
with low seawater temperature, and high salinity, the resistance increases.
However, these will be well mitigated through the design of the propulsion
system which will be able to deliver a thrust power of 1892 kW and with
assistance from the energy storage systems produces 2 MW of power to
overcome the resistance experienced. The wind and seawater simulations
performed have indicated a relatively uniform velocity and pressure profile
across HyForce, which further compliments the design and ensures that
hydrogen energy is largely used to perform useful work. The findings presented
in this paper can serve as a foundation for constructing a robust model for the
development of a predictive controller for future work. This controller has the
potential to optimize the configuration of hydrogen and battery energy storage,
aligning with desired cost functions.
Title: Prototype Disaster Response Robot with Variable Size and Rigidity
Authors: Kodai Ochi, Mitsuharu Matsumoto
Presenter: Kodai Ochi, The University of Electro-Communications, Japan

Abstract—Disaster response robots are designed to replace human workers in

hazardous environments. When transporting such robots, transportation by
aircraft is sometimes desirable because land routes are not always safe. The
performance of disaster response robots is constantly improving; however, their
16:45-17:00
volume and mass tend to increase, which makes current disaster response
CE2-009
robots unsuitable for air transportation. Thus, robots with variable size and
rigidity should be developed to facilitate effective and efficient air transport.
Therefore, we developed a lightweight robot that can be stored in a small space.
The prototype robot is composed of a lightweight sponge that can be vacuum
compressed to save space during transportation and can be deployed from the
air. After being transported to the site, the robot can return to its original size
by opening the package and releasing it from compression. In addition, the
robot’s rigidity is realized using UV-curing resin. The robot is also equipped with

39
40

a vibration propulsion mechanism, and we confirmed that the robot can move
using this mechanism. Furthermore, the robot was found to be able to change
direction and carry lightweight objects.
Title: A Modified Attractive Function of Gaussian Potential Function for
Obstacle Avoidance Control System
Authors: Kanapat Saenrit, Danai Phaoharuhansa
Presenter: Kanapat Saenrit, King Mongkut's University of Technology
Thonburi, Thailand

Abstract—Navigation system is a necessary system for autonomous vehicle and

many papers proposes the techniques for trajectory tracking and obstacle
avoidance. Gaussian potential function is well-known for trajectory tracking
control system with obstacle avoidance using 2D Lidar. The disadvantage is that
it relies on local minima, which is unable to deviate the moving path in some
17:00-17:15
cases that vehicle and target is moving in the same direction, and obstacle is in
CE2-016
between because the temptation of attractive potential field is too high. Then,
the trajectory tracking control with obstacle avoidance using a modified
attractive function has been introduced that conventional attractive function of
gaussian potential function is modified in order to improve the navigation
system. The simulation is performed by CARLA Simulator and the motion of the
obstacle avoidance using the modified function is considered by the sway
motion during the tracking and the safety during the lateral motion, which is
considered by lateral acceleration of the vehicle, its value in simulation case is
less than other types of attractive function. Meanwhile, the modified function
also maintains the safety distance gap between the vehicle and the obstacle to
not avoid at very close range from obstacle, which probably cause the collision.
Title: The vibration isolation properties of an asymmetrical quasi-zero stiffness
isolator with geometrical nonlinear damping
Authors: Chuanyun Yu, Jianrun Zhang
Presenter: Chuanyun Yu, Southeast University, China

Abstract—This paper proposes a quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator

with asymmetric stiffness and geometric nonlinear damping. The nonlinear
stiffness and nonlinear damping characteristics of proposed model are studied.
17:15-17:30
The motion equation of proposed system under force excitation is established,
CE2-022
and its dynamic response is solved by the harmonic balance method (HBM). In
addition, the influence of nonlinear damping on force transmissibility is studied.
The results indicate that the proposed isolator has a large equivalent damping
ratio in the resonance region and a small equivalent damping ratio in the high-
frequency region. Therefore, the proposed asymmetrical QZS isolator with
nonlinear damping can supress the resonance in low-frequency under force
excitation and achieve a good high-frequency vibration isolation effect
simultaneously than that with linear damping.

Presenter: Raj Kumar Dreepaul, Université des Mascareignes, Mauritius

Abstract—In this paper we compare the efficacy of a supermarket refrigeration

system using R404A and R488 (a mixture of HFC and HFO) in tropical climate
of Mauritius. More specifically, the TEWI model of the refrigeration system
working on various refrigerants is used to assess the coefficient of performance
(COP), leaks in the refrigeration circuit and equivalent CO2 emitted. It is
demonstrated that the COP for R448 is 20% higher for low temperature
application under the same working circumstances and refrigeration power. It is
also demonstrated that the TEWI for R448A is 16% lesser. Therefore, based on
these findings, R448A is a very effective short-term replacement for R404A
refrigerant in the commercial refrigeration field in Mauritius, both from an
environment and energy perspective. Additionally, it can be used in place of
R404A. R448A is currently not widely accessible on the market and is a relatively
more expensive refrigerant.

Presenter: Nittaya Kerdprasop, Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand

Abstract—Presently, industrial factories have moved toward the era of

intelligent automation systems, especially, animal feed industries. They
contained several automation machines such as a mixer, pellet mill, and truck
dumper. The truck dumper has been used to lift the whole truck and dump the
raw material into an intake hopper. However, during its process, neighbor areas
are identified as a risk area. Thus, if there is a person standing on the truck
17:45-18:00
dumper platform at the time, this may cause fatal injury or death. In this study,
CE2-020
a new proposal to develop a model of automatic human detection using a
convolutional neural network that learns and recognizes the important
characteristics of the target objects has been introduced. The objective of the
study was to develop a system of human detection and risk-level identification
in the truck dumper control system to prevent accidents. Herein, several
experiments have been conducted in order to select the effective and optimal
object detection architecture to apply to the truck dumper control system. In
the results, the YOLOv4 model outperformed the Faster R-CNN model in both
precision and processing speed. The average precision was 99.93% on a day-time
dataset and 94.25% on a night-time dataset. The overall accuracy of risk
identification was 94.18%. An average processing speed was 31.96 frames per
second.

Abstract—Increasing electricity demand has led to the construction of

distribution substations in dense urban areas, raising concerns about the health
and well-being of the nearby public. These concerns relate to potential
09:30-09:45 environmental and electrical safety impacts. This study assesses and compares
CE-154 electromagnetic fields (EMFs) exposure levels, including electric field (EF) and
magnetic field (MF), from three 115/22kV substations in urban areas: air-
insulated switchgear, gas-insulated switchgear, and mixed-technology
switchgear. The environmental impact assessment considers air quality, noise,
and heat. EMF field measurements are compared with ICNIRP Guidelines to
evaluate general public and occupational exposure levels. The correlation
between the exposure levels from each substation and their daily load curves is
examined. Results show that EMF exposure levels are within acceptable limits,
ensuring the safety of the general public and substation personnel. Additionally,
measurements for particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), 24-hours-
averaged-noise level (Leq24h), and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) indicate
that the environmental impact is within the relevant Thai standards.

Abstract—The issues of resource depletion and global warming require us to

transit towards the use of hybrid production systems integrated with batteries,

42
43

as a result of intermittent characteristics or renewable energy. Efficient

management needs adequate control of the energy distribution system. This work
aims to improve the functionality of the PIMENT laboratory management tool,
known as SMARTEN, by incorporating calculations for various energy
subsystems. This tool version was developed in a simple environment to minimize
computation time. Due to the complex nature of the examined energy system, it
is crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach to physical models rooted in system
analysis. A comprehensive case study will be demonstrated also. To find a viable
alternative for storage systems, pumped-storage energy transfer stations (PETS)
will be implemented with an energy consumption system connected to electric
vehicle advancement. The energy system we intend to examine will be
established in the southern region of La Réunion, specifically at Vincendo in the
Commune of Saint Joseph. The chosen site exhibits an elevation disparity of
around 100 m, and possesses continuous and favorable levels of sunlight and
precipitation, making it well-suited for the proposed project.
Title: Deep Learning Optimized Global Adaptive MPC for Primary Frequency
Synthetic Inertia Control in Microgrids with Wind Energy
Authors: Yunting Zeng, Xiaojie Wu, Xiaoqiang Li, Quanquan Zhang
Presenter: Yunting Zeng, China University of Mining and Technology, China

Abstract—As wind energy gains a larger footprint in global energy systems and
demonstrates increas-ing utility in microgrid applications, the imperative for in-
depth research into primary frequency regulation in microgrids incorporating
wind power grows. Addressing this need, this paper proposes an innovative deep
learning optimized Global Adaptive Model Predic-tive Control (MPC) algorithm,
which is specifically designed to improve the primary fre-quency synthetic inertia
10:00-10:15 control (SIC) in microgrids with integrated wind power. The paper first
CE-172 establishes a comprehensive response model for primary frequency SIC in such
mi-crogrids, incorporating mechanical energy compensation from wind turbines
aimed at preventing secondary frequency drops. Then identify the limitations of
the conventional MPC in controlling wind power's contribution to primary
frequency regulation. In re-sponse, the paper proposes the Global Adaptive MPC
algorithm. This novel algorithm is engineered for real-time, adaptable adjustment
of SIC parameters. Furthermore, the paper leverages cutting-edge deep learning
techniques to expedite the MPC optimization process. This advancement
significantly enhances the system's real-time performance and stability. The
efficacy and superiority of the proposed algorithms are substantiated through
exten-sive experimental validation, which shows a marked improvement in the
performance indices of primary frequency regulation.

Abstract—The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving the

integration of photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in
homes to mitigate energy costs. Designing such a system is critical for balancing
energy generation and consumption, employing the net-zero energy concept.
Additionally, the application of the vehicle-to-home (V2H) concept to support
home energy demand while achieving a net-zero energy state has not been
thoroughly investigated. This paper proposes a design methodology for a net-zero
energy electric vehicle (NZEV) charging station integrated with a V2H control
strategy capable of operating in both off-grid and on-grid schemes. The objective
is to maintain a balance between PV-generated energy and consumption from
both the EV and home loads. The charging station is installed for a practical test
in an off-grid scheme and analyzed to operate in an on-grid scheme with and
without V2H function. The data collected from the testing and analysis are used
to evaluate the capability to achieve a net-zero energy state. The practical results
demonstrate that the off-grid NZEV achieves weekly net-zero energy by utilizing
the PV to store sufficient power in the BESS for EV charging. The energy analysis
results indicate that the on-grid NZEV, operating in conjunction with V2H,
imports less energy from the grid and achieves a net-zero energy state to a greater
extent than operation without V2H. This research underscores the potential of
the NZEV charging station to enhance energy sustainability by integrating V2H
principles.
Title: Starting Current Limiter for Three-phase Induction Motors

Presenter: Svetlana Beryozkina, American University of the Middle East, Kuwait

Abstract— Solid-state soft starters are often used to lessen the high inrush
starting currents and large starting torque pulsations resulting from the starting
of induction motors (IMs). Applications of solid-state soft starters span across
industries such as manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC (heating, ventilation,
10:30-10:45 and air conditioning), and more. Therefore, this paper provides a novel control
CE-214 technique for selecting the optimal soft-starting voltage profile to limit the line
current constant at a specified value and subsequently minimize starting torque
pulsations. for a 3 kW three-phase IM, the control scheme model is implemented
using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the soft
starting method under various loading conditions. Moreover, the proposed
technique has the advantages of a minimal computational burden as well as good
accuracy when compared to the mathematical calculations and the trial-and-error
approaches. As a result, the proposed control algorithm can be implemented
industrially using a low-cost processor.

Abstract—This work focuses on a typical 110 kV indoor substation transformer
room in the Yellow River Basin. Safety alarms frequently occur during the

summer, significantly impacting the safe operation of equipment. The

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results revealed an apparent airflow short-
circuits and uneven flow distribution in the existing system, leading to localized
high temperatures near the transformer. To address this issue, a hybrid
ventilation of involving both natural and mechanical ventilation was proposed.
Firstly, considering the principles of thermal pressure, the actual placement, as
well as the heat dissipation characteristics of the main transformer, the natural
ventilation system was reconfigured. Five ventilation layouts of outlet were
proposed. The research results indicated even arrangement of outlets into six
showed the highest heat-dissipating capacity, with a minimum average
temperature of 39.60°C on the same vertical Z-axis horizontal section,
significantly lower than the original system of 43.39°C. This layout increased the
natural ventilation flow from 10,886 m3/h to 12,700 m3/h by enhancing thermal
pressure, resulting in a more uniform distribution of airflow. Based on the
optimized natural ventilation layout, two different mechanical ventilation modes
were investigated: mechanical exhaust and mechanical supply. The former mode
displayed a lower exhaust temperature of 39.6°C than the latter of 41.6°C. This
work provides a reference for the efficient heat dissipation and safe operation of
main transformer rooms in the relevant area.

11:00-11:15 Abstract—This study explores the application of Long Short-Term Memory

CE2-031 (LSTM) networks to predict the price of Bitcoin over various time periods. The
performance of the model is evaluated using cross-validation methods and
parameter selection techniques. The results show that the LSTM model is able to
accurately predict the price of Bitcoin, with performance improving as the time
period of the data increases. This suggests that LSTM networks are well-suited
for modeling time series. Our research study contributes to the determination of
the optimal parameters and cross-validation methods for LSTM models applied
to financial market data.
