Conference Purposes

Research and development on power and energy systems are extremely needed for the challenging era of energy crisis. With limited resources and environmental concerns, collaborates from stakeholders are required to reach a sustainable goal. Especially in a new emerging economic region like Asia, cooperation among Asian countries is very crucial for success on the technology development.

Thus, the 2nd AIT-PEA International Conference & Utility Exhibition on Power and Energy Systems: Issues and Prospects for ASIA in September 2011 (ICUE 2011) can be viewed as a platform to help strengthen relations between energy and power sector, utility providers, research institutions, universities, government institutions and non-government organizations. Also, it is a stage to exchange research ideas, experiences, technical issues, and emerging technologies in power and energy areas. Moreover, the exhibition could get together industry, utility, and academic people to directly discuss their own needs and more openly talk.

After the success of the first PEA-AIT International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development in 2010, in this year, ICUE 2011 is the second collaboration between Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), Thailand, the country's leading power distributor. It focuses on power and energy system areas that particularly concern on issues and prospects for Asia.

Scope

ICUE 2011 will cover academic, technical, economic, social and political dimensions of power energy utilization and management that aims for Asian sustainable development. And It would cover specific areas such as emerging technologies and research on power and energy systems, regional interconnections of energy resources, and Asian power grid issues.

Who should attend?

ICUE 2011 will bring together practicing power engineers, testers, designers, operators, planners, suppliers, policy makers, energy professionals, economists, researchers, consultants, and many others with interest in the power and energy profession. If you have an interest in any aspects of the power and energy field, you should attend this special event.
