Khalifa University participated in the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) which took place from the 19th to the 22nd at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center (ADNEC) and was held under the patronage of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of Khalifa University.
Khalifa University Senior Vice President of Research and Development also spoke at the event as part of a panel on “Integration & Deployment – Research & Capacity Building.”
In addition Khalifa University showcased several projects most impressive of which were two drones one of which is used for fog dissipation the other for search and rescue. Drones have a much lower energy consumption than most other aerial vehicles. Which makes them energy efficient and less reliant on fossil fuels.
The fog dissipation drone is not only energy efficient it’s also environmentally friendly using the byproduct of desalination in order to dissipate fog over airport runways and highways. The drone is designed to spray a salt water solution into heavy fog thereby dissapating it. The drone can even determine automatically how much spray is needed and adjust it accordingly.
The search and rescue drone is a first responder in cases of indoor fires. The drones are designed to do a “sweep” of the inside of the building to look for surviving victims deliver aid to them and protect them from overexposure to smoke. It can also report their location to rescue personnel resulting in a prompt and quick evacuation process which will increase the victim’s chances of survival.
In addition to research Khalifa University offers a Master’s of Science in Nuclear Engineering and Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering all of which have a strong focus on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
