The 2019-Faraday Memorial Lecture on “Microgrids--Opportunities & Challenges--World Wide and in India", at Hyderabad/ on 21-Sep-2019/ Saturday-Evening.
1)Target Audience: Industry Professionals, Young Professionals / Faculty in Academic Institutions and Research Scholars/ Students.
Note: Pl. see Next section for Registration Details.
A) Brief Details about this Program :
IEEE--PES/IAS/PELS Jt. Chapter, IEEE-Hyderabad Section, is organizing this Professional Development Program. We invite Industry Professionals, Young Professionals / Faculty in Academic Institutions and Research Scholars/ Students.
Our IEEE-Hyderabad Section and our PES/IAS/PELS Jt. Chapter jointly conduct every year a Faraday Memorial Lecture (FML) Program. This is a Flagship event of our Section and also of our Jt. Chapter. Distinguished/ eminent persons who contributed to innovations, applications of technology for the advancement of our society, are invited by us for our FML Program for delivering lectures, which enlighten/ enrich the knowledge of fellow professional engineers/ students.
In line with the above, our IEEE-Hyderabad/ PES-Jt. Chapter, is organizing the above FML program in Hyderabad.
More details about IEEE-Hyderabad Section are at www.ieeehyd.org
Abstract of the above Lecture :
A Microgrid (MG) is defined as a network of electrical loads and power generation sources. To the utility a MG is an electrical load that can be controlled in magnitude. The MG as a load could be constant or varying type. In power distribution networks, with Time of the Day (TOD) tariff, the power drawn by MG can be increased at night if electricity is cheaper. The power drawn from utility grid by the MG can also be maintained at Zero, during times of power systems stress. A Microgid (MG) can improve the reliability of the power supply, where possible at a lower cost also. The MG technology can be effectively used for combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The MG reduces the transmission power loss. Also, MG reduces the environmental impacts. It is well suited for off-grid, remote area applications. The MG concept has been around for over a decade now. MG has matured from this phase to demonstration and implementation phases through R&D activities carried out word wide.
World wide, Renewable Energy Sources (RES) based power generation has been growing rapidly in the last few years. In India also RES based power generation is growing at a fast pace. Microgrids (MG) have been improving the resilience of the conventional Utility grid, while enabling rural electrification and providing electric power to remote areas. The MG integration with National Utility Grids is also creating challenges.
Brief details of the Major Topics that will be covered in the above Lecture are as follows:
This Lecture will start with the basic concepts of Microgrids (MGs) and their different control levels. This will be followed by the usefulness of the MGs and their applications under the smart grid umbrella will be outlined. Finally, the current trends in worldwide and in India about Microgirds deployment and opportunities will be presented.
