In the engineering doctoral report session, Zhang Zhi, an engineering doctoral student admitted in 2020, shared a report on “Combined Decision-making Method for New Power System Optimization and Scheduling Unit”; Liu Nan, an engineering doctoral student admitted in 2020, gave a report titled “Key Technologies for Complementary Configuration and Operation Control of Multiple Power Sources in Large Energy Bases”; Zhang Jiaqi, an engineering doctoral student admitted in 2020, made a report titled “Research on Fault Characteristics and Transformer Protection Strategy of New Energy—Energy Storage Combined Power Generation System Incorporated to AC Power Grid”; Lin Yunzhi, an engineering doctoral student admitted in 2018, made an analysis report titled “Research on the Power Supply System of Non-contact Rail Transit”. The supervisors at the meeting commented on the progress of the theses and research results of the engineering doctoral students one by one, and put forward specific suggestions for the next thesis research work.

The holding of this forum provided a valuable exchange opportunity for the engineering doctoral students of EEA. The four students’ engineering doctoral reports were carefully guided by the supervisors, especially in terms of writing standards and innovation points, the supervisors put forward pertinent suggestions and higher requirements, the participating students had a more profound and comprehensive understanding of the whole process of engineering doctoral training and the requirements of the dissertation, which laid a solid foundation for them to develop their engineering doctoral dissertation in the future.

The Engineering Doctoral Forum of EEA is a regular academic exchange platform for teachers and students held by EEA for engineering doctoral students. It encourages students to report their thesis progress, display research results, stimulate innovative thinking, and promote project cooperation. Since December 2020, EEA has successfully held four engineering doctoral forums in Beijing, Changzhou, Qingdao, and Chengdu (online). The fifth forum was held online due to the pandemic.
