Artificial Intelligence at the Core of Sustainable Energy Ecosystems: From Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to Smart Grids and Industry 5.0
Abstract :
The global energy transition requires a profound transformation of energy production, transmission, storage, and consumption. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence, next-generation nuclear technologies, and intelligent electrical networks are enabling a new generation of resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable energy ecosystems.
This multidisciplinary keynote brings together three complementary areas of expertise:
- Generative, Predictive and Data-driven Artificial Intelligence
- Smart Electrical Grids
- Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for seawater desalination, clean hydrogen production and industrial decarbonization – clean energies
The presentation demonstrates how Artificial Intelligence becomes the digital brain of future energy infrastructures through:
- energy demand forecasting;
- real-time grid optimization;
- predictive maintenance;
- digital twins;
- intelligent coordination between SMRs, renewable energies and storage systems;
- data-driven decision support.
Several industrial use cases will illustrate these concepts in:
- energy production;
- desalination plants;
- smart agriculture;
- manufacturing;
- smart cities;
- sustainable transportation.
Special attention will be given to Morocco’s opportunities in strengthening energy sovereignty, water security, industrial competitiveness, and sustainable development.
The conference concludes with a practical roadmap for integrating responsible Artificial Intelligence into future energy ecosystems while ensuring cybersecurity, operational excellence, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability.
