Event Details

The power system has been expanding at a rapid rate due to the proliferation of loads. In order to cater to the ever increasing load demand, the existing infrastructure needs to be updated from time to time. In the process of updation several challenges inevitably crops up both at the transmission and the distribution level. The seamless transition from the existing system to the updated system would require a continuous refinement in the power system equipment, power electronic devices etc. The handling of the power quality issues, power system stability and security issues, power system planning, FACTS based reactive power compensation etc. play a major role in this refinement process. Also due to the environmental concerns, there has been a conscious shift from the traditional power generation to the non-conventional power generation such as renewable, distributed etc. The proposed control schemes associated with the non-conventional power generation are always a challenge for the power system community. The Hybrid Electric technology is also an outcome of the environmental concerns and energy management of these vehicles is an important issue which needs to be addressed.

            Since the power system equipment plays a major role in the technological updation, the condition assessment of these equipment is also significant. This assessment starts with continuous monitoring with the help of IOT devices and sensors.
