Preface of 2025 ICESI By Jiaqi Liang, Jizhong Zhu

With the acceleration of the global energy transition and the advancement of green and low-carbon development goals, the field of power and energy is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The large-scale integration of renewable energy, rapid development of new energy storage technologies, digital transformation of power systems, and widespread adoption of smart grid technologies are reshaping the industry landscape. Emerging technologies such as distributed energy, virtual plant, microgrids, artificial intelligent & machine learning and blockchain are becoming focal points of the field, driving the development of power systems towards greater efficiency, intelligence, flexibility, and sustainability. To provide an important platform for academic exchange and sharing of research achievements in the global energy engineering field, 2025 International Conference on Energy Science and Interdisciplinary-study (ICESI) was held from Sep. 19 to 21, 2025, in Guangzhou, China. The conference is sponsored by South China University of Technology (SCUT), and organized by Zhongda Academic Exchange Research Center (ZDAERC), and Zhongqi Tongwen (Xiamen) Research Institute, Shaanxi Tongwen Tongxue Education Development Co., Ltd, as well as Guangzhou City Uuniversity of Technology. The conference featured a variety of formats, including keynote speeches, invited talks, specialized seminars, thematic discussions, and poster presentations. Researchers, engineers, scholars, and professionals in the field of Energy Science and Interdisciplinary energy, power engineering, and artificial intelligent joined us in sharing their valuable insights. Through this conference, we can foster academic exchanges and collaboration, drive industrial development, and shape an energy and power ecosystem that is green, low-carbon, highly efficient, and cost-effective. We would like to thank the following ICESI 2025 Committee members for their contributions to this conference. List of Organization Committee is available in this PDF.
