ICPERE 2024
International Conference on Power Engineering and Renewable Energy (ICPERE) provides a forum for researchers and scientists, academics and practitioners from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss the latest developments on issues within the field of electrical engineering and renewable energy.
Keynote Speakers:
Georges ZISSIS, Distinguish Professor Toulouse 3 University.
Georges ZISSIS, PhD, FIEEE ’24, Distinguish Professor Toulouse 3 University. He has been graduated in 1986 from the Physics department of the University of Crete in general physics. He got his MSc and PhD in Plasma Science in 1987 and 1990 from Toulouse 3 University. His primary area of work is in the field of Science and Technology of Lighting Systems. He is director of the “Light & Matter” research group of LAPLACE that enrolls 20 researchers. He won in December 2006 the 1st Award of the International Electrotechnical Committee Centenary Challenge for his work on normalization for urban lighting systems. In 2009, he won the Energy Globe Award for France and in 2022 he got the Alfred Monnier Award from the French Illuminating Engineering Society. He was President of the IEEE Industrial Applications Society for 2019-20. Today, he is Chairman of the IEEE Smart Cities Technical Community and he is chairing the IEEE Smart Lighting Initiative.
Zenichiro KAWASAKI, Emeritus Professor, Osaka University; President of RAIRAN Singapore Pte. Ltd.
Prof. KAWASAKI Zenichiro, President of RAIRAN Singapore Pte. Ltd., received the B.Eng., M.Eng., and Dr. Eng. degrees at Osaka University. He is also an Emeritus Professor at Osaka University. He has been developing a wide variety of remote sensing systems such as lightning mappers and precipitation radars, and studying the mechanism of lightning discharges and their related phenomena with their own developed observation equipment. One of the outstanding researches in his career is to develop VHF broadband digital interferometers and observations with the VHF broadband interferometers. He conducted an observation campaign in Darwin, Australia, for more than a decade and revealed important new information about the leader developments. Furthermore, he proposed a new technique to trigger lightning by means of high energy laser and succeeded in laser-triggered lightning in the field experiment for the first time.
He also participated in the development and study of the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) as a principal investigator in Japan and clarified the relationship between lightning discharges and thunderstorm characteristics. Furthermore, he designed his own VHF broadband lightning sensors for space. These sensors were already launched in 2009 and 2012, and they succeeded in recording VHF emissions from lightning discharges in space.
He has played an important role in the International Commission on Atmospheric Electricity (ICAE) and been the president of the ICAE form 2007. He organized two ICAE meetings held in Beijing, China on 2007 and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 2011 as a president. He has devoted to the activities of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS) as a chair of the International Commission of Atmospheric Electricity (ICAE). As one of the activities, he organized Atmospheric lightning: physical processes with regional and global impacts session of the Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013 as a symposium lead convener. Additionally, he supervised 23 PhD students, who have been actively engaged in the AGU events.

Adria Windu Adlis, Deputy Team Leader,
Benoit Marcoux, Business Development Manager – Asia, OPAL RT, Canada
Mr. Marcoux obtained his bachelor degree in engineering in 1994 from the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal specializing in power systems. His past experiences include 14 years in Hydro-Quebec doing various R&D work related to the power system simulation department. This also involved testing and validation of many types of devices that eventually would be implemented on the real grid as well as many related HIL studies. His knowledge of real-time power system simulation has been on-gong for the past 30 years and Benoit now works for OPAL-RT Technologies as the person responsible for the Asia Pacific region (except China).
