International Conference “Challenges of Modern Thermal Power Engineering”: Presentation of the LIFE-CET-NS4nZEBs Project Results
On 19–20 November, the National Research Institute of Energy, Automation and Energy Saving of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP of Ukraine) hosted the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Challenges of Modern Thermal Power Engineering”, dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the birth of Professor Borys Draganov.
The section meetings of the conference were held on 20 November in an online format. During the conference, the team of the National Research Institute of Energy, Automation and Energy Saving presented the results of the implementation of tasks within the international project LIFE22-CET-NS4nZEBs “New Skills for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings.”
At Section No. 2 “Energy-Efficient Technologies in the Energy Sector”, Olena Shelimanova and Ievgen Antypov, together with experts from Asociación ECOSERVEIS (Spain) — Darko Kramer and Elisenda Clèries Tardío — delivered a joint presentation entitled “Urban Planning and Energy Performance in Buildings.” This presentation forms part of the professional training Programme developed within the LIFE22-CET-NS4nZEBs project.
Section No. 3 “Renewable and Alternative Energy Sources” (Section Chair – Professor Mykola Zablodskyi, Secretary – Associate Professor Viktor Trokhaniak) was opened with the presentations “PV Systems in Buildings: Design Parameters and Performance Factors” (authors: Evelina Stoykova (Sofia Energy Centre, Bulgaria), Nina Nikolova (The Chamber of Installation Specialists in Bulgaria (CISB)), and Victor Kaplun, Svitlana Makarevych, Vitalii Savchenko (National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine)) and “Heat Pumps: Operating Modes and Main Components” (authors: Paul de Schepper (Thomas More University (TMU), Belgium), Olena Shelimanova, Ievgen Antypov (National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine)).
Overall, the conference brought together researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal power engineering systems from six countries, representing more than 20 research organizations, educational institutions, and leading companies.
