The panel was chaired by th e honourable Prof. V.G.K Murti\, Rtd Professor\, IIT Madras. The other pan elists were Er. Krishna Kumar [Addl. General Manager\, NTPS]\, Dr. M. Rama moorthy [Former Director\, ERDA] and Dr. Krishna V. Prasad [Head\, TCS Pow er Initiatives]. Prof. Kaleem Fatima MJCET-IEEE Branch counselor [Head Dep t of ECE]\, introduced the panelists and welcomed the gathering. The panel ists were welcomed to the dais and introduced by Mr. Sreekumar\, Prayas En ergy [Vice Chair\, IEEE PES Hyderabad]. He spoke on the challenges in deve lopment of the power sector in India supported by the statistics on genera tion in India. Dr. Basheer Ahmed\, Principal MJCET addressed the gathering and highlighted the achievements of MJCET and the IEEE branch. Session 1 The first panelist and the panel chair was Prof. V. G. K. Murti\, Retired Professor and Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering\, IIT Chenn ai. Prof. Murti gave an overview of the latest technology and organization structure in power engineering. He emphasized on the power sector and its perennial importance and how it is poised for vigorous growth. The availa bility of careers in organizations with diverse functions (Power systems\, Industry\, Academic and R&D Institutes\, Regulatory and Planning bodies) were discussed. He mentioned the power industry can cater to different tas tes and aptitudes\, provide scope for using different skills (e.g. Softwar e\, optimization techniques\, financial management) and specialization in different sub-areas (e.g. Drives and machinery\, Control and instrumentati on\, Power System operation). He spoke on the recent developments in the p ower sector. Prof. V. G. K. Murti has 40 years of teaching and research ex perience in Networks and Measurements. Prof. Murti received the B.E. degre e in Electrical Engineering from the University of Madras in 1953\, the M. Eng. Degree form Yale University\, New Haven in 1957 and the PhD degree f orm the University of Illinois\, Urbana in 1960. He is the author of many books. His teaching experience and research experience in networks and mea surements enriched the students and the faculty present in the gathering. Session 2 Er. V. R. Krishnakumar is presently working as the Addl. General Manager (Operation Services) in NTPC Ltd at its Southern Region Head Quar ters\, Secunderabad. He spoke about the core electrical engineering sector \, the power sector scenario in India and the emerging trends and technolo gies. He gave some important facts and figures about the national grid\, t he EHV transmission lines and gas insulated substations. The protective de vices like numerical relays were discussed. He also spoke on the concepts of networked protection. Then information was decimated on the maxDNA Syst em Architecture and the PADO (Performance Analysis\, Diagnostic and Optimi zation). Participants gained knowledge about the smart monitoring system a nd monitoring and were able to get a view of the same through his presenta tion. Er. V. R. Krishnakumar joined the NTPC Ltd.\, in 1982 and has served various Thermal and Gas Power stations of NTPC like Ramagundam\, Anta\, G andhar\, Kayamkulam in Operation\, Commissioning and Maintenance areas. He graduated from CIT\, Coimbatore in Mechanical Engineering [1972 ] and com pleted his M.Sc (Engg) from PSG Tech [1974]. Session 3 Dr. M Ramamoorty is a Fellow of IEEE. He enlightened the gathering on the status of research in academic institutions\, research centers like CPRI and the actual meani ng of R&D sector in the industry. He motivated the faculty and the partici patns present to take up research and prove their worth. Dr. M Ramamoorty is the former Director of ERDA (Vadodara) and the first Director General o f Central Power Research Institute\, Bangalore. He was the Chief of R&D at Hindustan Brown Boveri\, Baroda\, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the IIT-Kanpur\, and visiting Professor at the University of Waterloo and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Dr. Ramamoorty obtained his BE (Hons) fro m Andhra University in 1957 and ME from IISc Bangalore in 1959. He obtaine d his MASc and PhD from Toronto University in 1965 and 1967 respectively. Session 4 Dr. Krishna spoke on Indian power industry evolution\, technolog ies in the power sector and what to look forward to. He highlighted the sm art grid\, application functions in the market era\, the modern grid\, pow er sector stake holders and the latest market trends. He also stressed on the technologies in the power sector like Information Technologies (IT)\, Operation Technologies (OT) and Energy Technologies (ET). He provided an o verview of “As-Is” IT Landscape in an Indian RLDC. In the end he spoke about what the GenNext Power System would look like. Dr. Krishna V Prasad heads Head - Power Initiatives\, TCS Bangalore working on the app lication of IT in power. He has a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from Bang alore University\, an M.E. in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Science\, Bangalore\, and his Master of Science and Doctor of Science from the Washington University in St. Louis\, Missouri\, USA. Dr. Krishna has earlier worked with Control Data Corporation's Energy Management Syste ms Division\, USA\; Kema consulting (formerly ECC\, Inc.)\, USA\; Best & C rompton Engineering\, Chennai\, India\; and CMC Limited\, Hyderabad\, Indi a.
