Power Electronics and Power Systems

Striving for a future where energy is accessible to all in a clean and sustainable manner is essential. Being proactive in addressing the impending challenges of our changing world is paramount. This involves not only meeting our current energy needs but also ensuring that future generations have access to reliable and environmentally responsible energy sources. To achieve this, we must work towards a collective vision that prioritizes innovation, renewable energy sources, and a global commitment to sustainability. It’s about being ahead of the change, anticipating the challenges, and actively pursuing a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape. Furthermore, fostering a center of excellence on a global scale is instrumental in developing proficient research talent. This hub of expertise will play a pivotal role in contributing to socio-economic growth and nation-building efforts by focusing on identified research areas. By nurturing research talent, we can harness the power of knowledge and innovation to address the complex challenges of our time and drive positive change. This commitment to excellence in research and its practical application will not only empower individuals but also uplift communities and nations, creating a ripple effect of progress that reaches far beyond its initial scope.

Vision

  • Energy for ALL in a clean and sustainable way, Ahead of the change, Ahead of the challenge

Mission

  • To be a center of excellence of global standing for developing professionally competent research talent and contributing to socio-economic benefits on nation building focusing in identifies research areas

Proposed initiative

  • In modern electric power systems, distributed REG potential and storage are becoming reliable and flexible resources for energy balancing under varying energy supply and demand scenarios. In this evolving paradigm, designing energy efficient smart distribution system and its energy management strategies for feasible and cost-effective utilization of REG is one of the several challenges faced by the utility operators and regulators.
  • This TAG proposed a center, focusses as well as progresses towards energy management strategies to effectively utilize REG in managing energy imbalances in distribution systems and grid-connected microgrids. The resent contribution from the members of the TAG is on the thrust areas of national and international importance in the energy sector.
