Global awareness for a sustainable future has led to significant changes, particularly in producing electricity from renewable sources and reducing pollutant emissions in the transportation sector. The electricity distribution system must now accommodate renewable energy production from various technologies (alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC)), as well as new high-consumption loads, such as battery charging for electric transportation.
Dynamic management of such energy systems requires smarter solutions, including the development of innovative and intelligent static converters (AC/AC, DC/DC, and DC/AC) and their control strategies. These must ensure the stability, efficiency, and reliability of interfacing different systems. In addition to environmental considerations, challenges such as compactness, durability, and low maintenance costs must be addressed for transportation systems (road, rail, maritime, and air) and renewable energy microgrids. In this context, real-time HIL (Hardware In the Loop) systems play a crucial role in optimizing the design of real systems, providing designers with feedback on expected performance, particularly in terms of efficiency, network stability, and the performance of implemented control strategies. Digitalization and Artistic Sustainability
Digitalization in performing arts and artistic training offers an irreplaceable opportunity for a more sustainable and equitable evolution of higher and professional musical education, particularly in large productions like opera. Techniques such as Networked Music Performance, Partial Playback, Digital Sound Processing, eXtended Reality, Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence significantly reduce the costs and carbon footprint of musical live performances. Bio-Inspired Solutions in Healthcare
Bio-inspired solutions are a highly effective resource in the field of cardiovascular surgery, particularly regarding intra-vessel navigation probes controlled through mechanical actions. This sustainable and efficient technology, which has a low impact on patients' post-operative recovery, is currently under development and was inspired by the buccal system of aphids from the family Aphidoidea.
