On April 24-26, 2018, the conference "XXV Spring Meeting of Heat Engineers" took place in Zakopane. It is one of the largest conferences on heat engineering organized in Poland, organised by BMP. The conference was attended by the director of the Thermal Technology Branch"ITC" IEn in Lodz, Jacek Karczewski (PhD), who during the panel "Let's talk about the network" gave the lecture prepared together with the Director of "Veolia" Łódź - Wiesław Adamski, "Optimization of the work of large heating systems on the example of Lodz technological steam network".

The book entitled „Modeling, Design, Construction, and Operation of Power Generators with Solid Oxide Fuel Cells” was published by Springer and edited by Jakub Kupecki (PhD) head of the Department of High Temperature Electrochemical Processes (HiTEP) at the Institute of Power Engineering. Among authors there are reseearchers from IEn: Marcin Błesznowski (PhD), Konrad Motyliński, Yevgeniy Naumovich (PhD), Marek Skrzypkiewicz, Michał Wierzbicki, Agnieszka Żurawska (PhD), as well as Michał Kawalec, Ryszard Kluczowski (PhD), Mariusz Krauz (PhD) and Adam Świeca (CEREL, Boguchwała).

On the 27th of March 2018 the Institute of Power Engineering signed the agreement on scientific and research cooperation with the National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC). The official signing of the document took place during the conference ICEPAG 2018 - International Colloquium on Environmentally Preferred Advanced Generation organized on the 27-29th of March by the University of California in Irvine, USA. Signatories of the agreement are prof. Scott Samuelsen, director of NFCRC and prof. Tomasz Gałka, director of the Institute of Power Engineering. Coordinators of cooperation are prof. Jack Brouwer and Jakub Kupecki (PhD) who took the post of a visiting professor at NFCRC.

In the magazine Archives of Metallurgy and Materials there was published the article entitled: Multiscale approach for modeling fracture in piezoelectric ceramics, co-authored by Magdalena Gromada (PhD), IEn's Ceramic Branch CEREL in Boguchwala, near Rzeszow.
