Special Session 1

Technical Outline:
As reported in many European Climate Reports the latest years have seen abnormal increases in summer temperatures.
This global warming and related matters are seriously affecting the distribution and transmission electrical systems with a significant impact on the quality of service (undelivered energy).
Simultaneously, the green energy transition is speeding-up the climate neutrality for the year 2050. As an example, the Italian PNIEC foresees that the energy produced from renewable sources will have to cover at least 65% of final consumption in the electricity sector by 2030 for a total of 70 GW of additional power. This green energy transition must be managed with care to guarantee grid stability, resilience and efficiency of the electrical system.
Furthermore, in last few years, in Euro-Asia countries known for their production of fossil fuels have been interested by wars. These events led to a dramatic increase of energy prices for all the most industrialized countries with the need to speed-up again the production from renewable sources. Also, the new war mechanisms have shown the large use of electronic devices and drones which can also impacts the electrical systems.
Whit this aim, transmission and distribution system operators are today fully engaged in development and deployment of innovative technologies that can help ensure a higher resilience of their systems during such events in these years of climate changes and green transition.
The present session will consider also the items of PNRR Italian projects PE2 – Network 4 Energy Sustainable Transition (NEST) - Spoke 8 “Final use optimization, sustainability & resilience in energy supply chain” intimately related to resilience issues.

Special Session 2
Microelectronics: Evolution and Future Perspectives
Session organizers:

Technical Outline:
Electronics, from the birth of Shockley’s transistor to the era of increasingly efficient and connected microprocessors and smartphones, is undergoing a profound transformation. Alongside traditional electronics, pervasive applications are emerging in the fields of power electronics for electric mobility and artificial intelligence for the automation of cognitive, industrial, and factory processes.
This evolution requires innovative materials — SiC, GaN, synthetic diamond — and access to critical raw materials that are often rare and strategically important. The entire value chain, from process technology to application systems, is being called to rethink performance, reliability, sustainability, and safety.
This technical session aims to examine several of these aspects, with particular focus on the innovations that are redefining the landscape of electronics and will have a decisive impact on the world in the coming years.
Topics:
- Modern Electronics
- New Materials
- Artificial Intelligence
