Turbo Expo and Power & Energy 2017 Slated for North Carolina Next June

Aug. 19, 2016

Abstracts are now being accepted for the 2017 ASME Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition (Turbo Expo) and the ASME Power & Energy Conference and Exhibition (Power & Energy) — two major engineering events the Society will present concurrently next June in Charlotte, N.C.

The two conferences, which will be held from June 26 to 30 at the Charlotte Convention Center, will be co-located with the International Conference on Power Engineering (ICOPE). ICOPE addresses fundamental and applied topics in power engineering, and it is co-sponsored by ASME, the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Chinese Society of Power Engineering.

For more than 60 years, ASME Turbo Expo has brought together turbomachinery professionals from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in turbine technology, research and development, and applications. The program for the five-day conference, which will be presented by the ASME Gas Turbine Segment, will feature a keynote panel followed by the annual awards program, two plenary sessions,  pre-conference workshops, more than 300 technical sessions, an early career engineer/student mixer and other networking opportunities. Additionally, there will be a variety of joint activities with Power & Energy and ICOPE including a welcome reception at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, a Women in Engineering Networking event and Student Poster Competitions.

ASME’s IGTI Technical Committees are currently seeking papers to be presented at Turbo Expo 2017. The conference’s technical tracks will encompass a wide range of topics, including ceramics; coal, biomass and alternative fuels; combustion, fuels and emissions; controls, diagnostics and instrumentation; fans and blowers; general and conjugate heat transfer; manufacturing materials and metallurgy; supercritical CO2 power cycles; microturbines, turbochargers and small turbomachines; design methods and CFD modeling for turbomachinery; aircraft engine noise and innovative noise reduction; and wind energy. The deadline to submit a paper abstract to the committees is Sept. 12. For more information on paper topics, or to submit an abstract, visit https://www.asme.org/events/turbo-expo/present-publish/call-for-papers. If warranted by review, papers may also be recommended for publication in ASME’s Journal of Turbomachinery or Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power.

ASME Power & Energy, which focuses on topics related to power generation and energy sustainability, will include three leading Society conferences: the ASME Power Conference, sponsored by the ASME Power Division; the ASME Energy Sustainability Conference, sponsored by ASME’s Solar Energy and Advanced Energy Systems Divisions; and the ASME Fuel Cell Conference, sponsored by ASME’s Advanced Energy Systems Division. The event will also feature two special forums: the ASME Nuclear Forum and the ASME Energy Storage Forum.

Topics to be addressed during the various Power & Energy and ICOPE technical sessions will include fuels and combustion, power generation sources, plant equipment, operations and maintenance, plant construction and supply chain management, energy storage, fuel cells, sustainability, and thermal hydraulics and engineering analysis.

Organizers of the Power & Energy conferences and forums are currently accepting abstracts for papers to be presented at the event and published in the proceedings, as well as abstracts for posters and technical papers that will be presented at the event, but not published in the proceedings. The deadline to submit a paper or poster abstract is Oct. 19. To learn more about the various topics to be covered during ASME Power & Energy 2017, or for instructions on how to submit an abstract, visit www.asme.org/events/power-energy/present-publish/call-for-papers.

Turbo Expo 2017 and Power & Energy will include a three-day exhibition showcasing leading companies in the international power and energy and turbomachinery industries.
