AI Data Centers and their Impact on the Grid

This talk will focus on advancing power systems education, innovation, and climate resilience in the face of emerging energy challenges. As the founder of PES University, she has championed continuous learning and professional development across the IEEE PES community. Her vision emphasizes bridging the gap between industry and academia to foster shared innovation and prepare the workforce for a sustainable energy future. Key focus areas include the integration of nuclear energy—particularly small modular reactors—for high-demand AI data centers, as well as combining nuclear, hydrogen, and water-energy initiatives into modern grid strategies. Dr. Uzunovic advocates for standards that support emerging technologies while maintaining PES’s independence, technical integrity, and relevance. Her talk will reflect on her leadership journey, share insights into fostering a culture of inclusive education, and highlight opportunities for the next generation of engineers to lead resilient, decarbonized, and technically advanced power systems worldwide.
