Welcome to ICOPE-2026
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great honor to welcome you to the International Conference on Power Engineering 2026 (ICOPE-2026), which will be held in April 2026 in Hangzhou, China. ICOPE is jointly sponsored and organized by the Chinese Society of Power Engineering (CSPE) and Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Since its inaugural conference in Tokyo in 1993, ICOPE has grown into a globally respected platform for the exchange of ideas and innovations in power engineering. It brings together experts from around the world to explore a wide range of topics across the energy field, excluding nuclear power generation.
Over the past three decades, ICOPE has been held in cities such as Shanghai, San Francisco, Wuhan, Kyoto, and Charlotte. In 2026, the conference returns to China, continuing its tradition of international collaboration and technical excellence. We are delighted to welcome you to Hangzhou, one of China’s most beautiful and historic cities. Famous for its scenic West Lake and deep cultural roots, Hangzhou has also become a modern hub of innovation and sustainability. The city offers a unique blend of ancient elegance and contemporary progress, making it an ideal setting for discussions on the future of energy and low-carbon solutions.
ICOPE-2026 will center around the theme “Low-Carbon Energy Transition”, addressing the global imperative to decarbonize our energy systems. As the world faces complex challenges in achieving carbon neutrality, collaboration and knowledge sharing are more critical than ever. This conference aims to bring together researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and policymakers to share advances, spark ideas, and shape the future of energy.
We deeply appreciate the continued support and contributions of our authors, reviewers, session chairs, advisory board members, and all participants who make this conference possible. We warmly invite you to join us in Hangzhou for ICOPE-2026, and we look forward to a dynamic and rewarding gathering that advances both knowledge and global cooperation.
See you in Hangzhou!
