  • On June 11, 2021, the Academy of Sciences of Albania organized the forum for energy titled "Smart Grid: From generation to distribution". Our Professors Ms. Raimonda Bualoti and Ms. Marialis Celo from Polytechnic University of Tirana presented the ENGINE project's outputs at the Energy Forum. The forum aimed to address energy issues with a particular focus on the electro-energetic situation in Albania. Approximately 40 participants, including representatives from the Academy of Sciences of Albania, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, the Energy Regulatory Authority, energy companies from Albania and Kosovo, researchers from public and private universities in Albania and Kosovo, as well as from the Agency of Renewable Resources, discussed challenges related to the incorporation of smart philosophy by energy companies. Smart grid is an electrical network that enables monitoring and control of electricity flows and data communication, facilitating the identification and management of energy use and various issues. It empowers electricity consumers to become active participants in the electrical grid. The aim of the forum was to strengthen cooperation among various stakeholders in the energy field to develop contemporary ideas and policies supported by scientific research for smart grid issues. Moderators of the forum were acad. Neki Frashëri, Chairman of the Section of Natural and Technical Sciences (ASH), and acad. Jorgaq Kaçani (ASH). The forum consisted of two sessions. The first session was opened by acad. Neki Frashëri, who gave the floor to the Vice President of the Academy of Sciences, acad. Vasil S. Toles. Acad. Vasil Toles, on behalf of the Chairman, acad. Skënder Gjinushi, and the presidency, emphasized the importance of opening up to the scientific community, enabling the Academy of Sciences to play a central role in debating and processing scientific thought on every issue or problem of importance to Albanian society and science.
