**The Institution of Power Engineers** 

Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 

## **PRESIDENT’S OVERVIEW** 

My extended term as President is coming to an end and it has been an honour and a privilege to serve the Institution as we transformed from the Institution of Diesel and Gas Turbine Engineers into the Institution of Power Engineers. 

During that time, we have seen: 

- 3 UK Prime Ministers 

- 2 UK Monarchs 

- 1 Global Pandemic 

Yet despite these tumultuous events the Institution has fared well.  We have seen the finances stabilise and starting to improve, the membership figures increasing year on year, we are on the cusp of strong industrial and academic partnership development, the Young Members panel being re-established and of course we have held our key events again in person. 

The events have been particular highlights for me.  The 73rd Annual Luncheon saw both the Principal Guest and Guest Speaker roles being performed by women for the first time and the talk by Mandy Hickson was truly memorable.  The September Seminar returned to IGEM House after two years of being webinars.  IGEM House also hosted the 11th International Power Conference.   Previously the Gas Turbine Conference, with the Institution evolving to incorporate wider aspects of the power sector, the Conference title was changed accordingly, and a superb array of topics were covered in the 2 days of conference and as well as an excellent half-day workshop. 

We still face challenging times, in the power sector, in the economy, in the New World Order. But with challenges come opportunities and I hope our members, our staff, our sponsors and supporters can all in some way benefit from the levelling up and growth that is promised to us. 

The other reports will expand on the key aspects of the Institution so in conclusion I wish to thank our staff in the Bedford office, the Trustee Board and the Advisory Council, all the volunteers whose time and commitment to the Institution is truly commendable and all the people who have helped me during my term as President. 

Finally, I’m delighted that Ian Macafee is taking on the role of President, he will be a great President and I am sure everyone will give Ian the support you so kindly gave to me.

## **DIRECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT** 

What a difference a year makes!  2021/22 was surely “a year of two halves”.  In July 2021 we started out under the tail end of Covid restrictions running only on-line activities and a year later in June 2022 closed out this reporting period in the midst of a full programme of face-toface events. 

Despite the limitations imposed by the pandemic over the last couple of years IPowerE continues to thrive in terms of technical leadership as well as in the areas of operations and finance.  The financial results are covered by the Honorary Treasurer in his report in the next section.  As always we are indebted to our excellent, dedicated office staff for their commitment and flexibility in working that makes the whole operation run like a well-oiled machine.  I am sorry to report that our Director General, Mike Raine, is on long-term sick-leave at present and hence I am writing this report as Acting Director General.  We send Mike our very best wishes for a speedy recovery. 

It is with deep sadness that we record the death in February 2022 of our friend and Advisory Council colleague Professor Miroslaw Wyszynski.  He made a valuable contribution to the Institution over a number of years and is greatly missed by all at IPowerE. 

One positive outcome of the Covid pandemic was that it accelerated the use of virtual communications platforms which have been used to good effect in a number of ways, not least of which have been the on-line events, which have actually delivered great benefits in extending their accessibility to a much wider audience and sector of the membership regardless of geography.  Whilst the return of face-to-face events is a most welcome development for those who are able to attend them, we are nonetheless aware of the need to continue to provide on-line content going forward.  In selecting venues for future events the provision of suitable communications infrastructure to allow remote participation will therefore be high on the agenda. 

## **2021 Webinars** 

A series of webinars was held through September, October and November, themed around the topical subject of _“The UK’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution”_ with contributions from National Grid, Renewables UK, Frazer-Nash Consultancy, E4Tech and Professor Gordon Hughes.  Aspects covered included the challenges and opportunities of an energy system dominated by renewables, the contribution of hydrogen to the pursuit of “net-zero carbon”, latest initiatives in nuclear new build and small modular reactors, the potential of “sector coupling” through power-to-gas and the impact of market intervention. 

A detailed review of the presentations included in each webinar was given in the December 2021 issue of _The Power Engineer_ .  Recordings of the webinars are available to members on application to the office.

## **2022 Annual Technology Seminar & Luncheon** 

After a gap of two years during the Covid pandemic, on 28[th] April 2022, we were pleased to hold the Annual Technology Seminar & Luncheon, _“Powering Forward to Net-Zero”_ as our first return to face-to-face events.  Perhaps understandably we were a little apprehensive regarding attendance numbers but our members and supporters did not disappoint and turned out in impressive numbers.  Everyone was clearly delighted to be back at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge to meet together again and to experience this welcome return to normality. 

The morning technology seminar followed the usual format of two parallel streams bringing together a wealth of knowledge and experience from experts in their various fields.  In one stream Professor Pericles Pilidis, Head of Propulsion Engineering Centre at Cranfield University spoke about _“Decarbonising a Country: Some UK Scenarios”_ , Gary Lock, Group Business Manager – Energy of Frazer-Nash Consultancy discussed the challenges of _“Controlling the Wind”_ , and Richard Northall, Development Engineering Manager at Rolls-Royce SMR Ltd. presented their initiative _“Rolls-Royce SMR – Providing Clean, Affordable Energy for All”._ Meanwhile in the second stream Tomislav Tesla and Deane Thomas of Three T's International gave a live-stream presentation entitled _“Tesla’s World - Innovating a Brighter Future”_ , Thijs Schasfoort, Senior Technical Advisor & OEM Liaison at Petro-Canada Lubricants discussed _“The Benefits of SAE30 Gas Engine Oil”_ , and Alan Beech, Sales Director at Clarke Energy explored _“The Challenges of an Electrified Economy”._ 

The luncheon which followed provided welcome networking opportunities with colleagues, friends and business acquaintances in the most cordial of surroundings.  Following the luncheon, the Principal Guest, Dr. Cathy McClay OBE FREng, Trading and Optimisation Director at Sembcorp shared her expert knowledge of the UK network and markets as she explained the challenges of managing the grid as it becomes more and more dependent on intermittent renewables.  Technical terms like inertia and reactive power were mentioned but the underlying theme was clear – that it presents a huge challenge for engineers and strategists. 

President, Scott Taylor, responded on behalf of the Institution, thanking Cathy for her insightful comments and giving an overview of recent and present activities and forward plans and initiatives of IPowerE. 

The event was rounded off by Mandy Hickson, one of the first female RAF fighter pilots and author of the book _“An Officer. Not a Gentleman”_ .  Punctuated with a plethora of amusing anecdotes, Mandy gave a most enthralling and fast-moving presentation of her inspirational journey to achieving her goal to succeed as a woman in a very male-dominated world, illustrated with slides and video clips including a pilot’s-eye view of in-flight refuelling. 

Plans are well in hand for the 2023 Annual Seminar and Luncheon to be held on the earlier date of 17[th] March 2023 at the same venue.

## **The Power Engineer** 

_The Power Engineer_ continues to be published quarterly with in-depth, peer reviewed technical papers forming the core of each issue, accompanied by news items from around the industry as well as internal Institution features, the latter including articles on Professional Registration and CPD.   The high quality of the publication has been maintained, reflecting the commitment of IPowerE to new and developing technologies, professional standards and keeping up to date with topical issues. 

## **Operational Report** 

The 2020 Operational Report was published in August 2021, the result of a many hours of dedicated teamwork in collecting, analysing and collating data to produce a valuable international benchmarking document. 

Building on the success of the 2020 publication, work is at an advanced stage on the 2021 Operational Report with a key focus on extending its scope from the traditional thermal generation plant to inclusion of renewable sources such as wind energy, hydro and solar PV. 

## **Membership** 

Membership numbers have continued to remain substantially stable during 2021/22. However, looking forward and with a number of initiatives in hand there is a realistic expectation that the membership base will increase during the coming year. 

One such initiative, working with universities and colleges, is the Academic Partner grade of membership.  Last year we were able to report that Cranfield University had become the first “Academic Partner” of IPowerE.  Building on that success, further approaches have been made to other universities and colleges, and the South Asia Branch has been successful in securing the membership of Manipal Institute of Technology as an Academic Partner, with others currently being developed in South Asia and UK. 

During the year we have continued to register a steady number of members with Engineering Council as Engineering Technicians, Incorporated Engineers and Chartered Engineers, offering mentoring to individuals as requested to achieve this recognition.

## **Overseas Branches** 

## **Canada Branch** 

## **Message from President, George Cooper** 

The IPowerE Canada Branch has been meeting virtually quarterly in a round table format to share updates on recent work, technical topics and challenges amongst members as well updates on IPowerE initiatives. This format of meeting more regularly outside of formal events has been a welcome opportunity to connect and network with members more regularly and bridge the great distances between the Canadian membership base which currently consists of members in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Newfoundland & Labrador. During our next quarterly meeting we will also invite members throughout the Americas which include members in the USA, Bahamas and Chile to further connect with members aligned with the Canadian time zones. 

On a sombre note this month we heard of the passing our one our branch’s founding members and past presidents Gordon Champion.  Gordon was a great driving force in continuing the work of the IPowerE through the sharing of knowledge in our profession amongst the energy industry and organized a number of great events during his time with the organization and also hosted many UK based members during visits to Canada.  Gordon was also a great mentor to young engineers in the organisation and dedicated his final years in the industry to transferring his wealth of knowledge to young up and coming engineers. We look forward to publishing an article on Gordon’s life, career and contributions to the organisation in the upcoming issue of the Power Engineer journal. 

To continue our work and goals in building connections to share knowledge within the energy industry in Canada our branch recently held discussions with the National Institute of Power Engineers (NIPE) on sharing event invites amongst our two organisations’ membership and distributing invitations to contribute to submissions to the IPowerE Operational Report. The NIPE is an organisation that represents of the interests of licensed power plant operators in Canada and we look forward to the benefits this connection may bring in our organisation reaching a wider audience in Canada. 

## **South Asia Branch** 

## **Message from President, Praphull Lal** 

The South Asia branch of IPowerE was formed in June 2021 with Commander Praphull Lal as its President.  The branch is based in Mumbai, India and will support our members in that region and throughout South Asia.  The branch has continued to develop and thrive during the past year focusing on working with universities, colleges and industry partners to deliver new members. 

Following the initial success in signing up Manipal Institute of Technology, a renowned private university in South India, as an Academic Partner, discussions with another private university, SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Tamil Nadu, near Chennai in South India were at an advanced stage.

Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 

We are pleased to announce that just following the end of this reporting period in August 2022 SRM Institute of Science and Technology was also signed up as an Academic Partner. 

Our expectation is that such partnerships will enhance the visibility and influence of IPowerE in India and the wider South Asia region.  Efforts continue to progressively engage relevant industries to benefit our members. 

## **Young Engineers Group** 

The Young Engineers’ Group was relaunched in 2021 and we are grateful to Murat Ozturk, Reethin Reethin and Kamal Abudu for serving on the committee during the year.  We are keen to support this work and see the Young Engineers’ Group grow, enhancing young member participation, connecting young engineers together and promoting networking with more senior engineers.  Some of the team have moved on during the year due, amongst other things, to developments in their careers and we are seeking other Student Members and Young Engineer Members to support in this work.  It is the intention of the committee to harness the drive of young engineers towards contributing to the growth of IPowerE.  This is a great opportunity for Students and Young Engineers under the age of 30 to get involved and really make a difference to your Institution.  If that is you, we would be delighted to hear from you.

## **FINANCIAL RESULTS TO 30 JUNE 2022** 

The financial year for 2021/22 has provided us with a year of consolidation following Covid and the opportunity to start generating revenue from our events again.  This has resulted in a surplus of income of £6,226, thus increasing the reserves of the Institution. 

The examined accounts show total income was £ 84,411 during the financial year, which included a small furlough payment amounting to £4,583.  Membership income has increased to £35,219 with additional Company Membership/sponsorship/advertising packages at £10,650, giving a combined value of £47,247.  The other major income stream is from the Power Engineer Journal advertising and sponsorship £7,721. 

Total expenditure for the year was £78,185 with the major overhead being office costs which incorporates Salaries, Rent and other operating overheads. 

This financial year we were able to hold the Annual Luncheon which was extremely successful and a major contribution to the overall income.  It is anticipated that a Seminar, Power Conference and Luncheon will again be held during the next financial year and further enhance the overall revenue. 

As a result of the financial surplus during the 2021/22 financial year, current assets have further increased to £41,130 as detailed in the accounts (total funds carried forward).  This leaves the Institution in a healthy financial position for the forthcoming year and the opportunity to plan and invest in new events for the membership. 

With the current level of inflation we will continue to monitor costs and overheads and push to continue increasing membership both in the UK and overseas. 

In view of the current increase in many of the Institution's overheads, a proposal for the review of membership fees has been submitted for consideration and approval.

## **PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF THE INSTITUTION** 

During the year the Institution continued to achieve its objective of advancing, for the public benefit, the knowledge of all methods and technologies for the production of power for mechanical drive, electricity generation, marine propulsion and energy storage, and the related products and design, development, application, manufacture, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance and promotion of the exchange of information and ideas on these subjects amongst the members of the Charity and others. 

The Institution continues to lay particular emphasis on the dissemination of knowledge and the exchange of information and ideas amongst the members of the Institution and others to the benefit of the profession and the public. 

The Institution continues to achieve its objectives through the holding of Papers Days for the presentation and discussion of technical papers, the publication of a Journal, _Power Engineer_ , and the holding of conferences, seminars and training courses – as well as sharing of information through the IPowerE website www.ipowere.org. 

Technical and heritage visits are also a regular feature of the activities of the Institution. 

In planning the activities for the year the Institution has kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Our general meetings and events are open to the public and advertised on our website which is accessible to the public.  In particular the Institution welcomes students to participate in meetings and events regardless of whether or not they have membership. Our members have responded to questions from the public applicable to our field of interest.  By furthering knowledge amongst our members the Institution better enables them to serve society and the public in general. 

The Directors (Trustees) have maintained a risk register and monitored the risks faced by the Institution in managing its affairs.  Specifically the Directors (Trustees) review the minimum cash holding, the reserves policy, and continually monitor actual cash against that minimal holding. 

Four editions of the Journal “ _Power Engineer”_ were published during the year featuring the technical papers and a range of other content relevant to the objectives.  In addition, the Operational Report was published collating submissions of performance data from power plants and installations globally.  Full details of the events and visits are given in the Director General’s report.
