<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Title:<\/strong> IIoT-Empowering Smart Grid Networks: Potential Solutions and Challenges<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong>Complicated by climate change, overpopulation and increasing industrialization, energy sector has been calling for revolutionary changes. Inefficient nature of fossil fuels, emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) have stressed the need for incorporation of renewable resources. However, the newly proposed smart grid (SG) faces its own challenges, such as need for effective fault diagnostics, power output reliability and compatibility with electrical vehicles. Therefore, the key role of communication technologies to play in this new grid cannot be overstated. It will allow bidirectional flow of information between different parts of SG and the customer to facilitate distributed control and monitoring of various SG environments. Furthermore, with the advent of industrial internet of things (IIoT), a large number of low-power low-rate sensors are going to be deployed in a bandwidth-limited wide range system, which requires new communication techniques and strategies to serve their requirements and quality-of-service (QoS) and also handle the possibility of node failures and self-correction once a fault occurs. In this presentation we will introduce the SG communication environment and related communication systems, challenges, potential solutions, and future research directions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>CV: <\/strong>Georges Kaddoum is a Professor and Tier 2 Canada Research Chair with the \u00c9cole de technologie sup\u00e9rieure (\u00c9TS), Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec, Montr\u00e9al, Canada. In 2014, he was awarded the \u00c9TS Research Chair in physical-layer security for wireless networks. Prof Kaddoun has published over 300+ journals, conference papers, two chapters in books, and has eight pending patents. His recent research activities cover wireless communication networks, tactical communications, resource allocations, security. Dr. Kaddoum received the Best Papers Awards at the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking, Communications (WIMOB), with three coauthors, and at the 2017 IEEE International Symposium on Personal Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC), with four coauthors. Moreover, he received IEEE Transactions on Communications Exemplary Reviewer Award for the year 2015, 2017, 2019. In addition, he received the research excellence award of the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec in the year 2018. In the year 2019, he received the research excellence award from \u00c9TS in recognition of his outstanding research outcomes. Prof. Kaddoum is currently serving as an area editor for the IEEE Transactions on Machine Learning in Communications and Networking and an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, IEEE Transactions on Communications, and IEEE Communications Letters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hrvoje Pand\u017ei\u0107 <\/strong><\/h2>\nUniversity of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing<\/p>\n<\/div>
