Complete content of the mail Greetings from IEEE Gujarat Section IE/IA/PEL Societies Joint Chapter! We cordially invite you to the Industry Application Society (IAS) distinguished lecture by Professor Sivaneasan Bala Krishnan on the topic “Electric Vehicles as Energy Storage in Smart Grids” online mode. The event is scheduled for November 7th at 12:30 PM IST. Abstract of the lecture: The presentation, "Electric Vehicles as Energy Storage in Smart Grids," explores the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in decarbonizing the transport sector and how they can be leveraged as distributed energy storage systems through Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. The talk covers the impact of EVs on reducing carbon emissions, the architecture and communication protocols necessary for V2G integration, and the V2G estimation required for demand response and peak load management. Case studies illustrate how aggregated EVs can contribute to grid stability through V2G application while ensuring that user mobility needs are met. Brief Biography of Professor Sivaneasan Bala Krishnan Dr Sivaneasan received the B.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2007 and 2012 respectively. In 2019, he joined Singapore Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor and subsequently promoted to an Associate Professor in 2023. He also concurrently holds the Deputy Director appointment for SIT Teaching and Learning Academy. He is registered as Chartered Engineer with UK Engineering Council. Dr Sivaneasan conducts research and development in the areas of power engineering particularly microgrids, smart grid technologies and electric vehicle management system.

Greetings from IEEE Gujarat Section IE/IA/PEL Societies Joint Chapter! We cordially invite you to the Industrial Electronics Society (IES) Day distinguished lecture by Professor Kaushik Rajashekara on the topic “DC Fast Charging Technologies for Electric Vehicles” in online mode. The event is scheduled for November 14th at 8:00 PM IST. Abstract of the lecture: Fast charging of electric vehicles plays an important role in adoption and widespread use of electric vehicles. Fast charging offers a practical solution for drivers during their journeys to charge the vehicles in 10 to 15 minutes to drive for another 300 to 400km or even more depending on the vehicle and charger capacity. Hence, there is an increasing importance to advance the fast-charging technologies of EV batteries and their deployment. In this presentation, the following topics will be discussed: Charging system configuration of EVs, Fast Charger requirements, technical specifications, requirements, fast chargers with ac and dc distribution network, ac/dc front end topologies, dc/dc converter topologies, partial power converters, and impact of fast charging on the grid. Future trends will also be discussed. Co-sponsored by: mamulla@ieee.org Speaker(s): Kaushik Rajashekara (Fellow, IEEE), Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/442982
