In May 2024, Professor Mladen Kezunovic delivered two impactful invited talks in Porto, Portugal, focusing on advancing power systems through technology. At the NESC-TEC Forum, he discussed “Risk Management of Future Large-Scale Electrification,” addressing the challenges of integrating large-scale electrification into existing grids while mitigating risks. At the INESC TEC Technical Meeting, he presented “The Role of ML and AI in Managing Forced Outages in Power Systems,” showcasing how machine learning and AI enhance grid reliability by predicting and managing outages. Both talks highlighted innovative strategies for building smarter, more resilient energy infrastructures.
