AWARDS
Best Research Project with Industrial Application Student Prize
IPowerE is proud to work closely with Cranfield University in an Academic Partnership and aims to combine the best of our power industry membership and the vibrant and sector leading engineering research and training activities at Cranfield.
As part of this partnership IPowerE wants to encourage and support early career excellence in engineering and, with Cranfield University, has decided to award a medal for the outstanding student of the year on the Thermal Power and Propulsion Masters course on the basis of consistent effort and results.
IPowerE were delighted to be able to make this award at this year’s graduation ceremony held at Cranfield University to Thomas Somerfield, a Student member of the Institution, for his excellent thesis entitled “Industrial gas turbine power augmentation systems and how they impact the plant performance and the theory behind it”.
Arthur Garlant Lifetime Achievement Award
This award, sponsored by North Lincs Engineering and North Lincs Bio Fuels, was first introduced by IPowerE in 2023 when it was awarded to Arthur Garlant.
This year the award went to Ronald Hunt, IPowerE Trustee Board member, for his significant contribution to thermal power systems, the Institution, and the future generations of professional engineers.
