  • AI to foster innovative business opportunities

Scope

Societies are highly dependent on electricity use to ensure safe, reliable, and comfortable living. The increase of electricity demand is expected to continue in the future and it is considered a crucial requirement for economic development. Concerns about the impact of electricity use in the environment and about the eventual fuel based primary source shortage are presently taken as very serious at scientific, economic and politic levels. These concerns have led to intensive research and to new energy policies envisaging the increased use of renewable energy sources for electricity production and increased energy use efficiency.

In such a dynamic, complex, and competitive environment as the power and energy sector, the use of artificial intelligence is of crucial importance to enable taking full advantage from the opportunities in the field in order to overcome the challenges that are constantly arising.

This track aims at bringing together different experiences in the application of artificial intelligence to power and energy problems. This track targets the contribution of the main international experts in the field, both from academia and industry.
