SUMMARY:Title: Power Architecture and Battery Management Systems Research in EVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing)
DESCRIPTION:EE SeminarSpeaker: Prof. Abhijit KulkarniAalborg University\, Denmark.Title: Power Architecture and Battery Management Systems Research in EVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing)Date: Tuesday\, 2nd January 2024Time: 4.00 pmVenue: EE MMCR (C241)Power Architecture and Battery Management Systems Research in EVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing)Abstract:Urban air mobility (UAM) is an emerging mode of transportation that aims to reduce the traffic congestion using green technologies\, which will also reduce environmental pollution. In this presentation\, we will discuss the energy storage system and the power architecture for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft\, which are popularly under development for UAM. The energy storage system comprising of the Li-ion batteries need to be sized optimally and operated to maximize their cycle time. The presentation introduces the sizing details and a reconfigurable battery architecture that paves the way to optimize and improve the operation of the batteries for different flight conditions. The sizing/configuration of the battery packs has an impact on the dc bus voltage\, drive train topology and system weight. In this presentation\, an optimization method is discussed to select the dc bus configuration that improves the efficiency and payload capacity of the eVTOL.The safe operation of an eVTOL energy system is dependent on the battery management system used. In this presentation\, the importance of battery impedance and a novel method to extract battery temperature using online impedance measurement is discussed. A low-complexity method is introduced to develop the battery equivalent circuit model online\, that can be used as a digital twin within the battery management system for system diagnostics and protection.Biography of the speaker:Abhijit Kulkarni received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Department of Electrical Engineering\, Indian Institute of Science\, Bengaluru\, India\, in 2016. From July 2016 to July 2017\, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with the University of Illinois at Chicago\, Chicago\, IL\, USA. Subsequently\, he worked as a Scientist with Honeywell Technology Solutions Lab. Pvt. Ltd.\, Bengaluru. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University\, Denmark.All are welcome.

SUMMARY:Talk by CPRI Chair Prof Tarlochan Sidhu
DESCRIPTION:Title:  IEC Standard Enabling Digitization of Power Systems – Opportunities\, Challenges and Possible Solutions  \n  \nSpeaker: \nProfessor \nDepartment of Electrical\, Computer and Software Engineering\nFaculty of Engineering and Applied Science\nOntario Tech University\, Canada\n\nDate: 19th January 2024\, 4 PM \n  \nVenue: MMCR\, EE Dept\, IISc \n  \n\n Abstract: \nIntroduction of IEC61850 standard and related communication infrastructure has the capability to facilitate a smart grid enabling digitization and smooth integration of renewables in power systems. This standard has provided many new opportunities for improving protection\, control\, monitoring and automation functions within electric power systems. However\, there are still a number of challenging aspects that need innovative solutions not directly discussed in the standard. \nThis talk will start with an overview of the IEC61850 standard which is rapidly being applied not only in power systems but also in other areas. This will be followed by a brief description of some aspects not included in the standard and are open questions. Details of possible issues and solutions especially those related to process bus such as lost samples will be provided. Interesting and innovative improvements for protection and automation that can be achieved within the new environment using IEC61850 will be discussed. Implementation and some test results for the above-mentioned solutions and improvements will be shared.\n \nShort Biography:\nTarlochan S. Sidhu received Ph.D degree from the University of Saskatchewan\, Canada. He worked for the Regional Computer Center\, Chandigarh\, India\, Punjab State Electricity Board\, India\, and Bell-Northern Research Ltd.\, Canada. From July 1990 to June 2002\, he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering\, University of Saskatchewan\, where he served as Professor and Graduate Chairman of the Department. From July 2002 to Dec 2011\, he was Professor and Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Western Ontario\, Canada. He also held the NSERC/Hydro One Networks Senior Industrial Research Chair in Power Systems Engineering. From Jan. 2012 to Feb 2020\, he was the Dean of Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at the Ontario Tech University where he is currently a Professor.\n\nHe has regularly contributed to the activities of IEEE Power Systems Relaying Committee in various capacities\, and he was awarded the 2001 Distinguished Service Award of this Committee. He has published more than 300 papers in various journals and conferences\, and some of these papers have won major awards. He is regularly invited to give lectures/tutorials around the world on the subject of power system protection\, automation and monitoring. He has served regularly as a consultant to power system industries both nationally and internationally. Prof. Sidhu is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India)\, a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (U.K)\, a Fellow of the Engineering Institution of Canada\, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (USA).
