Spotlight on Keynote Speaker & Session Chair – Dr. Pravin Sankhwar

A highlight of the conference was the exceptional contribution of Pravin Sankhwar, a thoughtful leader and distinguished expert whose presence significantly enriched the event. Dr. Sankhwar delivered an insightful keynote presentation on “Green Hydrogen for Fueling Fuel Cells for Charging Electric Vehicles & DC Power Systems.” His talk emphasized the transformative potential of green hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier, particularly in enabling clean mobility and efficient power systems. His presentation was widely appreciated for its technical depth, forward-looking perspective, and practical relevance to the global transition toward low-carbon energy solutions. DC Power Systems developed by Dr. Sankhwar provided groundbreaking solutions in solving energy resilience problems for critical facilities supporting data centers, transportation, and renewable energy. In current research he took a step ahead in integration of DC power systems for healthcare. “Global shift in energy demands to renewable energy and clean energy systems has unlimited potential. Solutions especially driven by motivations from clean energy solutions for healthcare is like “the cherry on top”. My publication in the journal covers transformatory solutions with DC power systems” said Dr. Sankhwar. Link to the publication: https://doi.org/10.3390/waste4010010
