This book includes papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Electronic Engineering and Renewable Energy (ICEERE 2024), held in Saidia, Morocco, which focus on the application of artificial intelligence techniques, emerging technology, and the Internet of things in electrical and renewable energy systems, including hybrid systems, micro-grids, networking, smart health applications, smart grid, mechatronics, and electric vehicles. It particularly focuses on new renewable energy technologies for agricultural and rural areas to promote the development of the Euro-Mediterranean region. Given its scope, the book is of interest to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers working in the fields of electronic engineering and renewable energy.
The book represents Volume 1 for this conference proceedings, which consist of a 2-volume book series
