Microgrid Control: A Critical Review and Recent Findings
The microgrid concept provides a quite appealing solution for overcoming the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources and distributed generators into the power grids. Advances in microgrid control have significantly facilitated this issue. Microgrid control refers to the application of control theorems and relevant technologies for stabilizing and enhancing the performance of microgrid operation, following various disturbances in different operating modes. Some of most important microgrid control issues in MGs are active and reactive power sharing, synchronization methods, voltage and frequency regulation services, emergency control, cybersecurity, power control and energy management.
This speech in addition to fundamental control requirements, will present a critical review on the current control layers classification based on the “dynamic timescale”, and “power rate”, by addressing the significant shortcomings. Then, the “impact area” and “responsible source” are emphasized to propose an updated hierarchical control structure. The speech will be supplemented with number of illustrative examples.

Talk Title & Abstract
INDUSTRY 5.0 GLOBAL ROADMAP 2024-2025
When I realized back in 2010, that no one in the world tries to prevent waste from happening on the industrial scale I prepared and launched the first project related to the secondary utilization of single-use wooden packaging. The project was successful, and three years later I started as a laterpreneur at the age of 42, now part of my professional journey, utilizing the knowledge and experience collected in 22+ years in logistics.
First I named and introduced INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING to my industrial clients and on December 1, 2023, for the first time in history, the term INDUSTRY 5.0 was used in an article named INDUSTRY 5.0 FROM VIRTUAL TO PHYSICAL, that made me according to researchers, academics and scientists to the Founder of INDUSTRY 5.0 the same as Karel Čapek, is the Founder of the term “ROBOT” which he introduced 75 km from birthplace of INDUSTRY 5.0 in the year 1921.
In just 8 years of existence, without single funding, incentives, or any other third-party financing become INDUSTRY 5.0 the leading global industrial trend of the century thanks to the fact that since the very beginning followed one aim TO BUILD WASTELESS WORLD FOR ALL.

Talk Title & Abstract
In search for noble material for medical and industrial radiation dosimetry aligns with the 5th Industrial revolution
Effective clinical uses of ionizing radiation (IR) have involved dosimetric procedures. Thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetry is useful in a variety of fields, such as clinical research, individual dosimetry, and environmental dosimetry, amongst others. However, it is well documented that ionizing radiation has various effects on human health, typically regarding deterministic and stochastic biological risks associated with DNA alterations, genetic mutation, etc. It means that the risk of ionizing radiation can outweigh the benefits if it has not been used in a controlled manner. Thus said, to protect society from the potentially harmful effects of radiation, it is critical to measure the radiation dose received by patients as well as radiation workers. Therefore, a dosimeter is a device that plays an important role in the undertaking of radiation protection monitoring and quality control of radiation therapy treatment. Over the past few decades, in the quantification of absorbed dose and also in QA programs, several dosimeters such as semiconductor diodes, radiographic and radiochromic films, thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) and metal–oxide field effect transistors have been utilized. Note that each type of dosimeter has its inherent limitations including poor spatial resolution, non-tissue equivalence, and the requirement of high bias voltage to achieve an acceptable collection of charges, especially for ionization chambers. Therefore, there is a need to develop new technologies that offer low-cost and high spatial resolution dose monitoring systems throughout the treatment process to improve the accuracy of the treatment delivery.
Worldwide, there is on-going intensive research into the adaptation of silica- and carbon-based media for a wide variety of applications. Present study is designed to explore the potential of silica/carbon media for safe clinical radiation applications. Herein, the TL dosimetric properties of silica- and carbon media irradiated by X-ray, gamma-ray, electron and neutron will be investigated. Following to optical characterization, the structural alterations of silica- and carbon-based media will be studied via state-of-the-art techniques, including Raman, Photoluminescence and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy in order to understand the nature and distribution of defects in its crystal lattice structures that produce the luminescence signal. It is expected that the findings may help to develop a novel device to be useful as a low-cost passive radiation dosimeter, with applications in radiotherapy and manufacturing.

Talk Title & Abstract
Resilience and Reliable Power Supply for Remote Communities using Microgrids
During the next decade, microgrids will emerge as a major enabler of the smart grid for the integration of small and medium-sized DER units into the electricity grid. Microgrids offer a promising cost-effective solution to the integration of renewable energy with reduced losses, lower transmission and distribution costs, higher energy efficiency, and a number of environmental and economic benefits. Microgrids are currently controlled independently, according to local requirements and aims, often based on local control strategies and without coordination with other microgrids. However, it is anticipated that future sub-transmission and distribution systems will be composed of several interconnected microgrids and form a complex electric network. Interconnecting together multiple microgrids can lead to undesirable dynamic behaviors, which have not been adequately examined so far. The coexistence of multiple energy resources with differing dynamic properties has raised concerns over the stability, control, and efficiency of microgrids.
This presentation will focus on the outcomes from a feasibility study conducted at Derwent Bridge, Tasmania, Australia. It will provide background information, project aims, methodology and outcomes. It will highlight the developed algorithms for energy forecasting, community benefit analyses and design of microgird.

Humble Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Ethics: Some Perspectives ‘Humble AI’ emphasizes the responsible development and deployment of AI systems that are cognizant of their limitations and potential shortcomings. It advocates the crafting of AI systems that not only acknowledge their own fallibility/imperfections but also actively pursue transparency, accountability, and collaborative engagement with human counterparts. This approach contrasts with the notion of an ‘all-powerful AI’ that operates autonomously and without human oversight. Humble AI acknowledges that AI systems are tools, and as such, they should be used responsibly and ethically. By understanding and respecting their limitations, AI systems can be harnessed effectively to enhance human capabilities without compromising human values and well-being. The principles of Humble AI promote a more balanced and collaborative relationship between humans and AI, ensuring that AI remains a force for good in society. Overall, the core principles of Humble AI emphasize the development and deployment of AI systems that are: ethical and aligned with human values, conscious of their limitations, transparent and accountable, human-centric and not to replace human beings, respectful of human privacy and autonomy, socially responsible and beneficial, designed for safety and reliability. A few core challenges lie in balancing transparency and confidentiality, aligning AI with human values, avoiding bias, etc. AI and ethics must not be ignored due to various reasons and risk issues. Therefore, this keynote will highlight various perspectives of Humble AI and ethics.
