Speech Title: Study on Grid Synchronous Performance
Optimization and Cascade Fault based on Complex Network
Theory
Abstract: With the development of economy and the
increase of electricity demand, more and more renewable
energy such as photovoltaic and wind power generations are
connected to the grid, the power grid has become
increasingly complex, and the stability of the power grid
has received increasing attention. The stable operation of
the power grid requires each generator to work in the
frequency synchronization state of 50Hz or 60Hz, and the
loss of synchronization of the power grid and the failure of
some links will cause cascade faults, resulting in
large-scale power outages, therefore, the synchronous
performance and stability performance of the power grid are
closely related, and the research on synchronous performance
optimization is of great significance. This report mainly
uses complex network theory to model the topology of the
power grid, and the second-order Kuramoto model the node
dynamics of the power grid, and proposes several methods for
optimizing the synchronous performance of the power grid
from the aspects of topology and power distribution. Based
on the community discovery method of complex networks, an
improved power grid zoning method is proposed, and several
different cascaded fault attack strategies are compared and
studied. Finally, some recommendations were made for future
research.

Speech Title: Electromobility and Autonomous Vehicles A
Case of Study for Teaching Engineering
Abstract: A significative increase of interest has
arisen for decades on the need of transportation using
alternative energy sources. Solar, electrical, thermal, wind
and more sources have been used in different ways to provide
energy for our needs. New regulations on emissions and
fossil fuels all over the world has been detonating an
exponential growth in countries all over the world. On the
other hand, autonomous vehicles are becoming normal among
us, but an imperious need of robustness and safety issues
lead researchers and industrials to dedicate efforts in this
sense. In this talk, topics on electrical autonomous
vehicles are explored in the context of Engineering
education. Challenged-based learning is used to face the
students to real problems, in the study case presented we
discuss different ways to teach Engineering topics using an
experimental platform built in our campus, we will focus on
energy management systems and autonomous navigation control
algorithms.

Speech Title: Exploring Current Practices in Monitoring
and protecting Kid’s Activities on Online Social Media
Networks Using Artificial Intelligence Approaches
Abstract: As a result of the widespread use of social
media and the quick development of the internet. There are a
large number of video content-sharing websites online, In
this talk, I’ll be covering the content that’s shared
particularly for kids and teenagers, whether its movies or
video games that attract a young audience, a large number of
content creators post daily vlogs on their social media
channels. These movies may contain offensive material that,
in the absence of parental supervision or control, could
negatively impact children's development, psychology, and
behaviour. Although numerous studies have focused on this
issue by recommending techniques and approaches based on
rating, ranking, and commenting on videos in order to
demonstrate the quality, popularity, and relevance of
videos, there is still a dearth of useful frameworks for
parents offering guidance on children's videos. Therefore,
this talk will focus on the most recent social media trends
among children and the technologies available to keep an eye
on and safeguard them. Thus, I will talk about New methods
and approaches in the literature to monitoring and
protecting kids on all online social media platforms.

Speech Title: Underwater Optical Wireless Communications:
Channel Modeling
Abstract: Optical wireless communications is now seen as
a potential technology for underwater applications due to
its high bandwidth performance. Specifically in underwater
applications, wavelengths in the blue/green region are used
as they experience the lowest attenuation underwater.
Despite the high bandwidth (>GHz) that can be provided by
optical links, they are limited to several hundred metres
only due to strong attenuation caused by absorption and
scattering. One important area of research is in channel
modelling and characterization where the knowledge and
behaviour of the underwater OWC must be understood to design
an optimized system. Numerous early studies on underwater
optical wireless communications (UOWC) focus on the effect
of absorption and scattering caused by dissolved and
suspended particles underwater. Most works consider modeling
horizontal links where the link is characterized by constant
attenuation as the variability is insignificant. However,
this is not valid for vertical links as the attenuation is
not constant due to depth dependent variations and
inhomogeneity of the medium. Thus, this talk presents the
development of two models that include the inhomogeneity of
the medium in modelling underwater OWC channels.

Speech Title: Mitigation of Greenhouse Emissions from
Transportation Systems Through Modelling and Data
Abstract: Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation
systems have become a grave health and environmental concern
as the rise in population and urban connectivity has caused
the increase in traffic demand and congestion. Increasing
the use of public transportation would become a key factor
in mitigating the adverse results of vehicular emissions. In
this work, we have constructed a traffic and fuel
consumption forecasting framework to analyze the effects of
increasing public transportation modal share on the
reduction of the total average fuel consumption by daily
traffic. We have successfully forecasted a fuel savings of
21% via the increase of public transportation modal share
from 12% to 40%. Our results could serve as an effective
guideline for policymakers in drafting sustainable
transportation masterplans.
