DESCRIPTION:Antonello Monti received his M.Sc degree (summa cum laude) and
  his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, Italy in 1
 989 and 1994 respectively.  He started his career in Ansaldo Industria a
 nd then moved in 1995 to Politecnico di Milano as Assistant Professor.  
 In 2000 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Universi
 ty of South Carolina (USA) as Associate and then Full Professor.  Since 
 2008 he is the director of the Institute for Automation of Complex Power S
 ystem within the E.ON Energy Research Center at RWTH Aachen University. Dr
 . Monti is author or co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed papers publi
 shed in international Journals and in the proceedings of International con
 ferences. He is a Senior Member of IEEE\, Associate Editor of the IEEE Sys
 tem Journal\, Associate Editor of IEEE Electrification Magazine\, Member o
 f the Editorial Board of the Elsevier Journal SEGAN and member of the foun
 ding board of the Springer Journal “Energy Informatics”. Dr. Monti is 
 the recipient of the 2017 IEEE Innovation in Societal Infrastructure Award
 \nAbstract: The energy transformation is bringing more and more power ele
 ctronics into the power system. As result\, we are moving from a classical
  electromechanical system to a fully electronic driven system. This change
  is significantly affecting the dynamics of the power system but also open
 ing completely new opportunities. The presentation will discuss challenges
  and opportunities opened by this transformation. The main conclusion is t
 hat it is more an opportunity than a problem even if a lot of research is 
 still needed to reach the definition of a full concept of automation for f
 uture power systems. At the same time\, thanks to the experience earned in
  several projects\, interesting options are emerging showing how the futur
 e power electronics-based power system could be actually more reliable tha
 n the classical power system.\n
