Topic: Integrated Three Phase Transmission and Distribution System State Estimation
Venue: GG 301
Session Chair: Aditya Nadkarni
Date: 22/03/2017 at 3 PM
Pre-Requisite: None
Abstract: Traditionally power system state estimation is performed in transmission systems while distribution system state estimation is still not a common practice due to several challenges. In the smart grid environment, increase of measurement devices and smart meters and inclusion of distributed generations makes distribution system active and thereby diminishes the difference between transmission and distribution system: it calls for a state estimation method applicable for both transmission and distribution systems. The focus of this talk is to discuss a three phase state estimation framework applicable for both transmission and distribution systems.

Topic: Advancements in Electric Machines and Future of Drives
Venue: GG 301
Session Chair:
Date: 27/01/2017 at 4 to 5 PM
Pre-Requisite: None
Abstract: Electric machines is one of the most important applications of electromagnetism. About 45% of total global electricity produced is consumed by electric motors. Among the motors, Induction motor is still the most popular and has been the industry work-horse for quite some time. However, increasing concerns over depleting energy sources and global warming is transforming the market towards more efficient motors and drives. Furthermore, with improvements in power electronic technology, fully controllable smart drives are the focus of the new drives industry. In this session, we will discuss the special electric drive technologies which can outperform the induction motor as well as new emerging applications for such drives.

Topic: Dominant Modes and Where to Find Them
Venue: GG 302
Session Chair: Ajinkya Sinkar
Date: 02/02/2017 at 4 to 5 PM
Pre-Requisite: None
Abstract: Load generation mismatch in power systems appear as disturbances which manifest as oscillations around the operating point. These oscillations need to be identified, controlled and damped for stable operation of the system. The talk will focus on understanding the nature of these transients, identifying the dominant modes and their relative observability at different locations. The speaker will also address on how one can identify the occurrence of any major event like generation outage or line trip from the nature of these oscillations.

Topic: Ever wonder how Transmission and Distribution Substations work?
Venue: GG 301
Session Chair:
Date: 08/03/2017 at 4 to 5 PM
Pre-Requisite: None
Abstract: Tata Power is one of leading private electrical utilities in India. It has expanded in the field of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Energy in Metro cities over past several years. The objective of this talk is to share the knowledge and experience on how distribution and transmission substations work. The talk will emphasize various practices followed in the industry for commissioning and testing of these substations. More insight will be given on DSS commissioning and its peripheral equipment such as LTP and RMU commissioning. Case Studies would also be looked upon.
