Track Description: The share increase of renewable sources in hybrid energy systems is an excellent tool to reduce costs and GHG emissions. However, the variability and intermittence of renewable sources require their integration with energy storage and other sources, primarily using fossil fuels. In this context, artificial intelligence is commonly considered a tool for optimizing renewable energy conversion according to resource availability, smart grid strategies, and load management. Therefore, we invite contributions to optimizing hybrid energy systems based on artificial intelligence approaches.

Please be sure to select “Artificial Intelligence to Increase Renewable Share in Hybrid Energy Systems” as main topic during the submission.

Track Description: The increasing complexity of technical systems, that continuously embrace more physical domains and technical areas, along with the stringency imposed on their performance specifications, as well as the desired reduction of production time and costs, altogether call for design solutions that simultaneously integrate the various subfields of engineering involved in their development. Supporting a model-based approach concurrently applied at all design stages, Mechatronics provides the answer to these problems. It brings together, in a coordinated interplay, the knowledge, information and techniques of the different engineering disciplines in order to optimize the development process and the final product. This synergically integrated approach conveys an intrinsic complexity for the system design process. Thus, new concepts, techniques and tools are being looked-for by the community involved in mechatronics R&D. Therefore, we invite the members of this community to submit contributions on these subjects to this special session, as well as on applications in the electromechanical and hydromechanical domains, robotics, manufacturing, automation, etc.
