1 IEEE EUROCONEUROCON is a flagship event of the IEEE Region 8 (Europe, Middle East and Africa) held every two years in a different country with participants from all over the world. EUROCON is a major international forum for the exchange of ideas, theory basics, design methodologies, techniques and experimental results between academia, research institutions and practitioners from industry. It has achieved a considerable success during the past 17 editions in all fields of electrical and electronic engineering, ICT and computer science covered by IEEE Societies:

The technical program includes plenary sessions (invited keynote lectures), regular technical sessions, special sessions, poster sessions, panel discussions and industry exhibition.

TRACKS

The technical sessions are grouped in 4 major tracks:

Track 1: Information, Communication and Technology,

Track 2: Circuits, Systems and Signal Processing,

Track 3: Power Engineering and Energy,

Track 4: Industry and Consumer Applications.

We pariticpated inside the Track 3 in which the EUROCON conference has a long tradition.

2 WINDLIPS team participationProfessor Kuzle was invited as a keynote speaker on the conference. His talk was inside the IoT field and its application to the maintenance. The abstract is: Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept based on the idea that all everyday physical objects could be connected to the Internet with the ability to exchange personal identification with all the other objects. This represents a step forward in the evolution of the Internet in which all devices and physical objects share global network based on IP protocol. The importance of the IoT concept stems from the fact that the object that can digitally identify itself becomes something inherently more than the mere object itself. That object is not only connected with the user but also with the surrounding objects and databases. Commonly speaking these devices possess limited processing power which means global connection enables new modes of control, supervision and advance services provision. In that regard, synchronized operation of multiple objects and devices is known as the ambient intelligence which enables recognition of activities, awareness of contexts and presence of individuals and adaptation to changing needs. Furthermore, IoT concept facilitates integration of large numbers of different devices with different sensors through which different means of communication and data interchange can be established. Therefore, this concept will have a decisive impact on the future organization of maintenance systems augmenting the development of maintenance schemes based on equipment state (condition-based).

Finally, accepted paper was presented at the last day of the conference

Holjevac, Ninoslav; Zidar, Matija; Kuzle, Igor

Techno-economic assessment and optimization of the energy storage unit in the distribution network // IEEE Eurocon 2019, Novi Sad, Srbija, 2019. pp. 1-6

3 ConclusionThis conference provided a good platform for the results discussion and dissemination. Prof. Dirk Van Hertem from KU Leuven, Belgium who participated in the special session provided very valuable feedback among other participants. Also the feedback received for the presened paper was very good and supportive. Furthermore, the cooperation with the partners from HOPS was strengthened.
