PES DAY 2025 Panel Discussion :22-04-2025
At the PES Day 2025 Panel Discussion, co-hosted by the IEEE IAS PES ENIT Student Branch Joint Chapter, IEEE IAS PES ENSIT Student Branch Joint Chapter, and the IEEE PES Tunisia Section Chapter, the energy felt electric as the event kicked off on 22 April 2025. Moderated by Mohamed Soltane Trabelsi, Vice Chair of IEEE IAS PES ENIT SB Joint Chapter and PES Day 2025 Ambassador, the online forum featured powerful insights from Ranim Dammak (Chair of PES Tunisia Section Chapter) on PES vision and leadership, Achref Zribi (Vice Chair) on the value of PES membership and related benefits, Tawfik Sallemi (Treasurer) on funding and scholarship opportunities, and Mohamed Iyadh Chehine Zouari (PES Day Secretary and Tunisia Representative for 2024) sharing insider perspectives on PES Day itself. The panel not only enlightened students and young professionals about membership advantages, mentorship, and technical resources, but also deepened ties between student branches and leadership—sparking renewed enthusiasm for PES engagement and clean energy innovation.
Collaboration Announcement -PES DAY 22-04-2025
At the PES Day 2025 Collaboration Announcement, the IEEE ENSIT Student Branch and the IEEE El-Najah Student Branch united under the powerful theme Powering a Sustainable Future, launching the visionary Smart Grid Innovation Initiative. The event brought together students and young engineers from Tunisia and Palestine, joined by Mohamed Amine Ben Helal, a dedicated IEEE volunteer and computer engineer, who outlined a bold agenda: developing AI driven models for solar and wind forecasting, optimizing microgrid algorithms for underserved and conflict affected communities, building open source energy management simulation tools, and launching cross-border hackathons and technical schools to foster shared learning and innovation . The really electrifying moment came when Mohamed Amine Ben Helal invited participants to imagine a collaborative “energy twin lab” fueled by real-time forecasting and optimizationdrawing spontaneous cheers and an on the spot brainstorm in which Tunisian and Palestinian students sketched their dream prototypes, from modular microgrid designs to dashboard mockups. That spontaneous pitch session embodied the spirit of this event solidarity, technical ambition, and a shared commitment to sustainable impact that transcends borders.
Green Hydrogen “Powering A Sustainable Tomorrow 23-04-2025
At the Green Hydrogen: Powering a Sustainable Tomorrow panel held as a flagship part of PES Day 2025 and Earth Day 2025 the IEEE IAS PES ENSIT Student Branch Joint Chapter teamed up with the IEEE PES SMU Student Branch Chapter to ignite discussion on one of clean energy’s most transformative innovations. The event drew a thoughtful mix of students, energy enthusiasts, and academic professionals, and began with Amina Emna Abdmouleh, PES Day Ambassador, contextualizing green hydrogen within the broader PES Day vision. Ibtihel Trabelsi, international energy policy consultant, offered a global stage view, presenting green hydrogen as a linchpin for large-scale decarbonization. Prof. Radouane Chtourou, authority in renewable energy, examined Tunisia’s strategic potential highlighting opportunities, infrastructure hurdles, and avenues for international collaboration. From a technical vantage, Dr.-Ing. Oluwaseyi Sheriff Oluwabi, a hydrogen technologies researcher, demystified emerging production and storage breakthroughs. The session closed powerfully with Ayoub Medyouni, student leader and SDG advocate, tying green hydrogen to sustainable development and social impact. And here’s the scoop: in a spontaneous twist, participants were invited to pitch real time green hydrogen project ideas inspired by the earlier insights leading to bursts of creative proposals ranging from modular hydrogen-powered desalination systems to community microgrid integrations. That moment of inspired ideation embodied the session’s spirit dynamic, impactful, and forward looking, perfectly capturing what PES Day stands for.
Smart Electricity Storage PES DAY 2025 Celebration: 23-04-2025
At the Smart Grids and Renewable Energy Prediction workshop, hosted by the IEEE IAS PES ENSIT Student Branch Joint Chapter, the atmosphere buzzed with energy as students and young professionals gathered to explore the cutting-edge intersection of AI, renewable energy, and smart grid technologies. Led by Mohamed Amine Ben Helal, an energy systems engineer and IEEE VTS Tunisia Section Chair, the session delved into the intricacies of modern smart grid infrastructures, emphasizing the integration of real-time communication networks, intelligent control systems, and the pivotal role of smart meters. Participants were introduced to the challenges of incorporating variable renewable sources like solar and wind, including grid instability due to weather fluctuations and the limitations of traditional load-following mechanisms. The workshop highlighted advanced forecasting methods, comparing physical models, statistical approaches, and machine learning techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Support Vector Regression (SVR). A particularly engaging moment occurred when attendees collaborated in real-time to design a conceptual AI driven dashboard for monitoring renewable energy integration, sparking innovative ideas and fostering a sense of community among participants. This collaborative spirit underscored the workshop's success in bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application, leaving attendees inspired and equipped to contribute to the evolving landscape of sustainable energy solutions.
Smart Grids & Renewable Energy Prediction :24-04-2025
At the GRÜNX IEEE PES Day 2025 Celebration, organized by the IEEE PES IAS ENSIT Student Branch Joint Chapter , the atmosphere came alive with enthusiasm and purpose as engineers, faculty mentors, and students convened under the motif Empowering Lives through Clean and Smart Energy. The event opened with a compelling panel entitled Green Energy Solutions: Environmental Responsibilities, featuring Ayoub Madyouni, Nour Chargui, Mohamed Iyadh Chehine Zouari, and Molka Guesmi who delved into Tunisia’s energy challenges and showcased how IoT and AI can drive smarter, renewable rich grids. The first workshop, Innovative Solutions for Climate Change Mitigation, led by Ayoub Madyouni, inspired participants with fresh technologies tied to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The second workshop, Electrical Energy and Energy Introduction, delivered by Mohamed Amine Ben Hellal, grounded attendees in core concepts of generation, distribution, electric vehicles, and their synergy with low-carbon energy systems. The grand highlight, however, emerged when the audience burst into a spontaneous green hack sprint rapidly ideating bold, cross disciplinary projects focused on clean energy and AI integration. That electric moment of creative unity embodied GRÜNX’s essence: educational, dynamic, and purpose driven.
