Call for Special Sessions
Organizer: Professor Dr. Tanakorn Wongwuttanasatian | Faculty of Engineering, Khon Kaen University, Thailand
Tentative Title: Next-Gen Energy Solutions: Harnessing Digital Innovation and AI for a Sustainable Future
Short description of the proposed topic:
This session delves into the convergence of next-generation
energy solutions with cutting-edge digital innovations and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tackle the pressing global
sustainability challenges. By exploring how AI-powered smart
grids, predictive analytics, IoT, Blockchain and Digital Twins
technology are transforming energy generation, distribution, and
consumption, we aim to highlight pathways towards a more
resilient, efficient, and low-carbon energy future. This session
will feature thought leaders from academia, industry, and
government, who will share their insights on deploying these
technologies for sustainable urban and rural development, while
addressing energy equity and environmental impacts.
Novelty and motivation:
This session is unique because it focuses on the rapidly
emerging field of AI and digital innovation in energy solutions,
addressing complex sustainability challenges that go beyond the
traditional scope of energy management. Unlike regular sessions
that may focus on isolated topics, this special session brings a
multidisciplinary perspective by integrating AI, IoT, Blockchain
and Digital Twins within the energy sector. It emphasizes
transformative technologies that not only enhance efficiency but
also promote sustainability, equity, and long-term energy
resilience. Such a focused dialogue is critical, considering the
urgency of the climate crisis and the potential impact of these
innovations on achieving global sustainability goals.
