Dmitry Karamov, Associate Professor at INRTU, gave a presentation on energy service contracts at the CEEGE-2022 conference

Dmitry Karamov, Associate Professor at the Department of Electricity Supply and Electrical Engineering at INRTU, presented his report at the 5th International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Green Energy (CEEGE-2022). The scientist's presentation was dedicated to energy service contracts in autonomous photovoltaic systems. The forum was held in an online format from 8-11 June.

The conference has been held since 2018. Scientists discuss issues of electrical engineering, green energy and environmental protection. In 2022, researchers from 15 countries took part in the discussion.

Dmitry Karamov, Associate Professor of Irkutsk Polytechnic University, devoted his report to functioning of autonomous photovoltaic systems under energy service contracts.

Colleagues from the Energy Research School of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ERI) Pavel Ilyushin and RAS Academician Sergey Filippov actively participated in the work.

In preparing for the report, the research team combined previous projects into a coherent whole, which made it possible to present more accurate characteristics of energy performance contracting.

"In the course of the research, we turned to previous developments. For example, we improved the battery life model already described by myself and Konstantin Vitalievich Suslov. A comprehensive approach made it possible to determine how equipment replacement affects the performance of energy service contracts. Thus, we have systematized the methodologies, which is necessary for further research in the field of renewable energy," said Dmitry Karamov.

The lecturer praised the findings of foreign colleagues working in this field. According to him, the studies presented at the plenary session were of particular interest. Professor Frede Blobjerg of Aalborg University (Denmark) addressed the issue of integration of renewable energy sources into centralised systems, citing enough real information. Professor Pierluigi Siano of the University of Salerno (Italy) talked about the possibility of optimising integrated microsystems.

The conference resulted in papers. The scientific work of scientists from INRTU, ISEM SB RAS and INEI RAS received positive feedback from reviewers and was also recommended for publication in Energy Reports (Q1 - Scopus, Q2 - WoS).
