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
