Discussions focused on joint research for the UAE's energy transition, faculty exchanges, and internship programs. BYE President and Co-Founder Mingcong Hu and Hu Dezhao, Chairman, met with Khalifa University faculty including Prof. Ahmed Al-Durra, Associate Provost for Research; Prof. Dr. Mohamed Shawky El Moursi, IEEE Fellow, APEC; and Prof. Dr. Khalifa Al-Hosani, APEC's Theme Lead for Industry Engagement, Commercialization, and Professional Development. The delegation toured BYE's advanced manufacturing facilities and R&D center, gaining insights into the company's capabilities in power systems equipment and electrification technologies. Discussions centered on defining the structure and resource allocation for the joint laboratory, including its location, equipment configuration, and funding framework. Talks also focused on priority research areas for collaboration such as renewable energy integration technologies, energy storage systems, advanced power electronics and solid-state transformer applications, hybrid AC/DC transmission networks, transportation electrification, and green hydrogen applications. Other areas discussed included seamless data center integration, AI-driven power systems, and smart home and smart building technologies, with development and testing based on Khalifa University's smart home platform. The joint laboratory aims to integrate research and industrial deployment, with APEC serving as a potential technology R&D hub for BYE, providing access to its specialized laboratories, while BYE will engage researchers to develop joint industrial-academic projects aligned with regional grid modernization requirements. Khalifa University researchers will also gain access to BYE's facilities to accelerate prototype validation and industrial testing. 🔗Source: Khalifa University, Advanced Power and Energy Center (APEC)- Khalifa University #UAE #China #Energy #R&D
