Title：Bio-Inspired Microgrids: Bridging Neuroscience and Renewable Energy Systems

Abstract:

The future of energy systems lies at the intersection of biology, engineering, and digital intelligence. This keynote explores how principles from neuroscience and biological systems can inspire the next generation of resilient, adaptive microgrids for applications ranging from smart cities to space exploration.

Drawing on decades of pioneering research in AC/DC microgrids, distributed energy storage, and hierarchical control, the talk presents how concepts such as neural networks, self-organization, and cognitive adaptability can be translated into robust control architectures for energy networks. The talk highlights real-world implementations in maritime, aeronautical, and space environments, including electrical ships, seaports, aircraft, and lunar bases.

Attendees will gain insights into:

- Integrating neuroscience and energy engineering for smarter, self-healing grids

- Advances in distributed control, digital twins, and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure

- The role of artificial intelligence in future-proofing energy systems

- Case studies from microgrid deployments in remote communities, vessels, and extraterrestrial habitats

This keynote invites engineers, researchers, and policymakers to envision a future where energy systems learn, adapt, and thrive—just like living organisms—ensuring sustainability and resilience in a rapidly changing world.
