On July 16, 2024, Kamolthip Ballroom, The Sukosol Hotel, Bangkok. The seminar was organized by the IEEE Power & Energy Society (Thailand)
Dr. Sumittra Charojrochkul, Executive Director of ENTEC, along with Dr. Jiravan Mongkoltanatas and Dr. Thanya Phraewphiphat, researchers from the Energy Storage Technology Research Team (ESTT), represented ENTEC at the event.
Interest in renewable energy production is on the rise, driven by advancements in technology supporting various forms of renewable energy. Projections suggest that by 2035-2050, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, water, and hydrogen will account for more than 50% of global electricity production. Environmental concerns and governmental commitments to achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065, as outlined in the COP 28 conference are key driving factors. To maximize the efficiency of renewable energy, diverse energy storage systems are essential. These systems mitigate energy fluctuations and uncertainties, enhancing the efficiency, stability, and reliability of the entire power system.
During the event, Dr. Sumittra Charojrochkul delivered a lecture on “Hydrogen and Fuel Cell.” Additionally, ENTEC’s research team presented lectures on various topics including:
1. Energy Storage in Power System: Application Overview, Key Parameters and Future Technological Development Outlook. Presented by Dr. Jiravan Mongkoltanatas, a researcher from the Energy Storage Technology Research Team (ESTT), Energy Innovation Research Group, ENTEC.
2. Battery Energy Storage (BESS): Lead Acid, Nickel Cadmium, Lithium-Ion, Sodium Sulfur, Vanadium Redox. Presented by Dr. Thanya Phraewphiphat, a researcher from the Energy Storage Technology Research Team (ESTT), Energy Innovation Research Group
