2026 5th International Conference on New Energy System and Power Engineering (NESP 2026) Successfully Held

From May 22 to 24, 2026, the 2026 5th International Conference on New Energy System and Power Engineering (NESP 2026), hosted by Xihua University, was grandly held in Chengdu.

This year's conference brought together numerous renowned scholars and industry experts in the fields of new energy systems and power engineering. Closely aligned with major national strategic needs and regional industrial development priorities, the conference engaged in in-depth discussions on frontier scientific issues and technological breakthroughs.

The opening ceremony was moderated by Dr. Yan Zhu from Xihua University. Deputy Director Li Zhang of the MOE Key Laboratory of Fluid and Power Machinery (LFPM), Xihua University, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. Four distinguished guests were invited to deliver keynote speeches: Prof. Guoqiang Gao from Southwest Jiaotong University (National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars, Distinguished Young Scholar of Sichuan Province); Prof. Weihao Hu from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (IET Fellow); Prof. Ronggang Ni, Associate Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering, Qingdao University; and Associate Prof. Qin Wang from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Their presentations covered durability research on traction batteries for rail locomotives, diverse applications of artificial intelligence in energy systems, topology and control strategies for robot joint motors without absolute position sensors, and solving AC optimal power flow via gradient-guided physics-informed neural networks. They shared their latest research findings, presenting participants with a high-level academic feast.

The oral presentation sessions were organized into 3 sub-venues, featuring 4 thematic forums: Energy Storage and Electrochemical Technology; Power Electronic Converters and Wireless Power Transfer Technology; Power System Operation, Protection, and New Energy Grid Integration; and Fluid Machinery and Power Engineering. Participating scholars from universities and enterprises, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Southwest Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Shandong University, and Xihua University, shared their research on frontier topics related to the conference themes. The organizing committee conducted on-site selection and award ceremonies for outstanding papers, outstanding presentations, and outstanding posters, fostering a strong academic atmosphere.

This conference not only provided an efficient platform for communication and collaboration among professionals but also injected new momentum into the innovative development of new energy systems and power engineering. The event concluded successfully in an open and sharing academic environment. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the attending experts for their active participation and valuable contributions, and we look forward to meeting again next year!
