With the escalation of global climate change, countries areattaching moresignificanceto the “carbon neutrality” issue, and a series of international experts as well as professionals have launched discussions onit.
IET Virtual Event on Carbon Emissions: Pathway of Energy Systems of Grid Development under Carbon Neutrality was on 16thMarch 2022. As the main representatives fromdeveloping and developed countries, China and the UK leading experts communicatedon the different pathways of carbon neutralityunder thisbackground.
This webinar washeld by the international journal IET Energy Systems Integration, IET, Wiley, Tianjin University and Cardiff University. Leading experts from China and UK have carried out extensive discussion in terms of the challenges, opportunities, scenarios and technical solutions for achieving the goal of “carbon neutrality”. The event has attracted 921 registered attendees from 41 counties (Top 5 - China, UK, USA, Spain and Italy).
The two-hours event includes five engaging slide presentations fromDr. Kruna Vukmirovic(Publisher for IET journals),Prof. Chengshan Wang(Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Tianjin University),Prof. Jianzhong Wu(Head of School of Engineering, Cardiff University), Prof. Phil Taylor (Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Enterprise, Bristol University), Prof.Wenchuan Wu(Tsinghua University), and the moderators are Prof.Tao Xu(Tianjin University) and Dr.Yue Zhou(Cardiff University). And the topics cover the distributed renewable energy development in China, the scenarios of UK energy transition, advanced operation and control for UK decarbonization, as well as the data learning approach of renewable power systems. The in-depth discussions among speakers and moderators have also drawn significant attention from the audienceswith high engagement in the Q&A.
At the end of the event, Prof. Chengshan Wang pointed out:realizing carbon neutrality is challenging for all the countries. This is a global activity that contains many remaining areaswhichneed to be explored together worldwide. And Prof. Jianzhong Wu indicated that the significant uncertainties in policy, future architectures, and market schemes have brought an extra burden to the energy transition, a systematic solution is keen to be conducted.
