Panel Discussion

Panel Title 1: Advanced Electric Machines and Power Electronic Converters: The Backbone of Renewable Energy Integration and E-Mobility
Event:
Conference on Renewable Energy Systems and Emerging Technologies 2026

Panel Description:

The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy systems is impossible without the utilization of efficient electric machines and advanced power electronic converters. This specialized panel focuses on the dual role of these technologies as the backbone of renewable energy integration (solar, wind, and storage systems) and as the driving force behind e-mobility (electric vehicles, ultra-fast chargers, and clean transportation fleets).

 

 

                   

 

Panel Title 2: Transition from Traditional to Modern Energy Systems and the Evolution of Energy Planning Approaches
Event:
Conference on Renewable Energy Systems and Emerging Technologies 2026

Panel Description:

The specialized roundtable entitled "Transition from Traditional to Modern Energy Systems and the Evolution of Energy Planning Approaches" is organized with the aim of fundamentally examining structural and methodological changes in power systems. In this session, while analyzing the limitations of traditional energy planning approaches (including deterministic, centralized, and fossil-fuel-based models), the modern planning frameworks tailored to smart grids, distributed renewable generation, and energy storage systems will be discussed. The main axes of the discussion include the transition from static to dynamic planning, the replacement of deterministic models with robust and probabilistic approaches, the role of big data and machine learning in operational optimization, as well as the institutional, economic, and regulatory challenges along this transition. This roundtable provides an opportunity for exchange of views among researchers, network planners, policymakers, and industry practitioners to address key questions such as: "How must planning methods evolve to cope with the uncertainties and complexities of modern energy systems?"
