"Attain the zenith of perspicacity through proficiency."

We, the team of Power and Energy Society Chapter under IEEE - VBIT SB, have taken an initiative to conduct an inter college event, 'Circuitry', in collaboration with the IEEE Hyderabad Section Young Professionals - Affinity Group.

Circuitry is a IEEE PES Day 2024 event conducted as a Student Transition and Elevation Partnership Programme. It extends over two days, with a circuit-based competition on the first day and sessions about the Electric Vehicle technology on the second. Participants will demonstrate their innate proficiency by competing with each other on solving complex electric circuits. This provides a practical understanding of electronic components and circuits by developing their problem-solving skills. Participants will gain valuable insights into the circuit functionalities and the fundamental concepts of Electric Vehicle (EV) technology, equipping them with solutions in diverse applications.

Note:
1. There is no registration fee.
2. You can participate individually or as a team of two.
3. One laptop per team is mandatory.

Event Details:
Date: 26th April, 2024 and 27th April, 2024.
Time: 10:00 AM.
Venue: Nalanda Auditorium, Vignana Bharathi Institute of Technology.

Dr. VSK Murthy Balijepalli (Krish)

Topic:

"Empowering Electric Mobility Innovation" at the "Circuitry"

Title: "Understanding Electric Mobility in India: Policies, Progress, and Potential"

Abstract: This introductory talk is designed to enlighten attendees on the fundamentals of electric mobility in India, from basic concepts to the comprehensive policies that govern this emerging field. As India strides towards a sustainable transportation future, understanding the role of electric vehicles (EVs) and the supportive policy framework is essential for all stakeholders involved.

The session will begin with a simple explanation of what electric mobility is and why it is critical for environmental sustainability and energy conservation. We will discuss different types of electric vehicles, including hybrids, battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), providing a clear picture of the current EV landscape in India. Following this introduction, the talk will delve into the major policies that have been implemented to promote electric mobility across the nation. This includes the Government of India's FAME India Scheme (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India), which aims to support the development of electric and hybrid vehicle technology and ensure its commercial adoption. We will also explore state-level initiatives and how they align with national goals. Additionally, practical demonstrations during the session will help illustrate how electric vehicles work and highlight their benefits compared to traditional combustion engines. By integrating these demonstrations, the presentation aims to make the technical aspects of electric mobility accessible and engaging for complete beginners.

Attendees will leave the session with a foundational understanding of electric mobility, aware of the key policies driving its adoption in India, and inspired by the potential of EVs to transform our transportation systems into cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable networks. This talk is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to get involved in or learn more about the field of sustainable transportation.
