I was so exctited to get the intern offer from ENGIE , a global energy and services group headquartered in La Défense, France. For the next six months, I would conduct a study on China biomass fuel market, especially focusing on solid biomass for heat & power.
With my colleagues at IBR, I participated in The 13th Conference on Urban Development and Planning located at Suzhou, Jiangsu province. I was impressed by some inspiring speeches related to "smart city" and "resilient city". From the beginning of the internship, I attached more attention to city-level policy for energy-saving and low-carbon solutions.
Copenhagen -> Helsinki -> Shanghai! The day dream has come to an end but never faded. # GAP YEAR #

The paper "An in-depth analysis of the silicon solar cell key parameters’ optimal magnitudes using PC1D simulations" was accepted by Optik-International Journal for Light and Electron Optics. In this study supervised by Prof. Qingchun Yu, the optimal magnitudes of silicon solar cell key parameters were calculated and verified using the PC1D simulation program, which proves that PC1D can provide reliable reference values for solar cell design.
I started working on an individual project-"Valuation of the System Advantages of Lower District Heating Temperatures" proposed by Sweco. I am supervised by Prof. Brian Elmegaard to examine how to create incentives for consumers to select Ultra-low temperature district heat system to achieve more sustainability.
