The event was a resounding success, leaving attendees with a deeper understanding of these critical topics and a sense of inspiration for future research and development in the field.
Session 3: Expert Session on Challenges in Renewable Energy
The session discussed Kerala’s wind potential, emphasized India’s goal to meet the Paris Agreement by 2050 and outlined plans for renewable energy to save 10 trillion dollars by 2060. Key milestones for carbon emission reduction by 2030 were addressed, along with the significance of electricity as the primary energy carrier. He also covered topics like hydrogen, electrification, and hard-to-abate sectors, showcased record electricity demand, and noted challenges due to weak monsoons impacting coal-fired plant closures. Global energy trends like green hydrogen and battery energy storage were mentioned, with a focus on distributed generation and challenges posed by variable renewable energy sources to the power grid and fossil fuel generation.
Session 4: Expert Session on IoT, Blockchain and AI Adoption in Green Energy
The seminar focused on data analytics in solar PV power plants, net-zero energy transition, and blockchain technology in the power sector. Experts shared their insights on the potential applications of AI and ML in the energy industry and the use of blockchain technology in peer-to-peer energy trading, renewable energy certificate trading, electric vehicle charging networks, and wholesale power trading. The panel discussion touched upon the need for AI-based forecasting techniques to address the unpredictability of solar energy. Overall, the seminar highlighted the importance of data analysis in ensuring the efficient functioning of solar PV power plants and the potential for AI and blockchain to revolutionize the power sector.
Session 5: Expert Session on Net Zero Energy Transition
The “Expert Session on Net Zero Energy Transition” featured a panel of speakers who shared insights into achieving a net-zero energy future. Satheesh Kumar Pai discussed Cochin International Airport’s green initiatives, Dinesh Kumar A N emphasized energy efficiency, Anand Gopinath outlined BPCL’s vision for net-zero emissions, and Sajan P John focused on energy storage for marine use. Audience interactions added depth to the session, addressing topics such as waste recycling and carbon footprint calculation, making it a comprehensive discussion on sustainability and decarbonization efforts in India.
Session 6: Expert Session on Renewable Energy Transition and its Impact on Economy
The topics covered range from India’s ambitious target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 and the declining costs of renewable energy (RE) to studies highlighting job opportunities in the RE sector and the safety of RE sources. There’s also a focus on energy conservation methods, the benefits of bicycle riding over vehicles, and educational programs like ‘urjajalakam’ aimed at raising energy conservation awareness among students. Additionally, the discussion delves into how the transition to RE accelerates sustainable E-Mobility, the transformation of India’s automotive landscape with a significant presence of two-wheelers and growing EV sales. It touches on the energy requirements for charging EVs, power production, renewable sources, and the broader energy needs in India.
