UOIT to host International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering

The latest developments in advanced smart energy technologies will be front and centre this summer at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).

UOIT will host engineers and researchers from around the world August 11 to 13 as the faculties of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science (FESNS) and Engineering and Applied Science (FEAS) stage the annual International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE’14).

“SEGE provides a forum for researchers from academia and industry to explore and discuss new methods related to energy grids, and the integration of smart energy with transportation,” said Dr. Hossam Gaber, SEGE Chair and Founder, and an Associate Professor cross-appointed to FESNS and FEAS. “We expect SEGE will attract more than 100 new research papers and top international speakers. There will also be an innovation competition for student engineers.”

SEGE will explore key areas such as:

• energy conservation, efficiency and management policy
• gas-power systems
• grid modelling and simulation
• high-performance power grid
• hydrogen (clean energy research)
• information, security, and communications
• natural gas grids
• power electronics
• renewable energy integration
• smart grid infrastructures
• sustainable fuel
• thermal networks
• transportation (including electric vehicle, natural gas vehicle, fuel cell vehicle)
