Welcome to AER - 2006
The growth of the energy sector is critical for
India's development. The provision of
affordable energy services to the population in a sustainable fashion throws up
several technological and research challenges. The development and adoption of
energy efficient technologies and systems and cost effective renewables needs an
increased emphasis on research and development. IIT Bombay announces a national
conference on Advances in Energy Research to provide a platform for
researchers, academics and industry to discuss recent research results and
identify future directions for R & D in the energy sector. This conference
is being organised at IIT Bombay during December 4-5, 2006. Download brochure
from here.
The conference will be held at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in
Mumbai. IIT Bombay is one of the premier technological institutes in
India with students and faculty who
are comparable with the best in the world. The institute has a vibrant research
culture and has several linkages with Indian and international industries and
institutes.
Energy Systems Engineering (ESE) is an
inter-disciplinary programme with a mission to develop sustainable energy
systems and solutions for the future. ESE currently has about 30 M.Tech's and
Ph.D graduating annually. The ESE is celebrating its silver jubilee and is
expanding into a School with new academic programmes and an increased research
thrust.

The conference will consist of plenary sessions, parallel
technical programme consisting of oral and poster presentations.
There will be special sessions on
a)
Fuel Cells and Hydrogen
b)
Industrial applications of
renewables and energy efficiency,
c) Energy education.
The proceedings will be published in the
form of book including a CD-ROM.
Over 300 delegates are going to participate in AER - 2006. Leading scientists and administrators from various organizations such as CSIR, DST, TERI, NTPC, IISc, IITs etc. are part of the technical and advisory committee and are expected to take part in the conference.
Special session on ‘Industrial applications of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’ will be conducted as a part of AER-2006. We have received about 40 papers on this topic from various industries including NTPC, Suzlon, SAIL, NPCIL, ACC etc. In the concluding session of AER-06, we are planning a panel discussion to focus on India’s R&D strategy on energy with Prof. Kirit Parikh (member Planning Commission), Secretary DST, Secretary MNES and leading industrialists.
As a part of the conference, there will be a showcase exhibition to provide a platform to various industries and entrepreneurs for advertising their services and products related to energy sector. Apart from the delegates, the exhibition will also be open to public for a limited period of time.
