One Week Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on ‘Challenges in Evolving Power System’
A One-week Online Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on ‘Challenges in Evolving Power Systems’ was organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering from 22nd November 2021 to 27th November 2021.
The power system is continuously evolving to meet the rise in demand, integrate renewable energy, and meet the decarbonization goal posed by the government. The evolution inevitably introduces formidable challenges to the system. This could affect system operations and could be a potential threat to a reliable power supply. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the changing system is the need of the power industry. To address the evolving challenges and widen the understanding of academia, researchers, and industry, a one-week faculty development programme (FDP) was organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering.
The experts from academia and industries, active in real-time research of power systems, discussed key challenges of power systems as per their expertise. The challenges associated with Renewable Energy Integration to Power Systems, Distributed Energy Resources, Power System Planning and Modelling, and Cybersecurity were notably covered in the FDP.
195 participants from academia and industry registered for the programme. There were 6 international registrations for the FDP. The FDP also received entries from the Institute of National Importance such as Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur, National Institute of Technology, Silchar, National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur, and IIT Bhubaneshwar. There were entries from renowned government and private universities, government, and private engineering institutes across India (12 states). The participants from CERC and Renew Power, New Delhi also registered for the FDP.
