R&D NESTER PRESENTED KEY CHALLENGES FOR OPERATING FUTURE GRIDS UNDER A CARBON-NEUTRAL EUROPE AT MEDPOWER
R&D Nester was invited for this year's edition of MEDPOWER
2024 - Mediterranean Conference on Power Generation, Transmission,
Distribution and Energy Conversion.
The 14th edition of this conference was held in Athens, Greece, last November.
The conference belongs to the series of bi-annual
conferences which take place in the Mediterranean region and have established a
major energy platform in the region in the last 30 years. The Conference is
organised by IET Hellas, IET Cyprus Local Networks and The Malta Group of
Professional Engineering Institutions (MGPEI) in Cooperation with the National
Technical University of Athens and the University of West Attica with the
support of IET.
MEDPOWER is a conference that aims to be at the
forefront of shaping the future of decarbonized, efficient, secure and
resilient power systems. It intends to provide a forum for distinguished
researchers, industry experts, policymakers, and academia to explore the latest
trends, challenges, and innovations in the energy landscape. Over three dynamic
days, attendees had the opportunity to engage in stimulating discussions,
informative keynote presentation, enlightening panel sessions and interactive
paper sessions. Participants had the opportunity to showcase their research,
share expertise and foster collaborations for energy advancements.
In this 14th edition, R&D Nester was represented in the Panel entitled "Resilience Against Natural Disasters and Extreme Weather: Innovations, Applications and Policies in Power Systems", with a presentation titled "Key challenges for operating future grids under a carbon-neutral Europe".
Nuno Souza e Silva, Managing, Managing Director of R&D Nester,
was invited to be a speaker on this panel sharing R&D Nester' experience
framing the remaining participants and assistance on the content of R&D
Nester's current projects and its results and achievements.
In the same session we had also the insightful
