Dear All,
IEEE PES/IAS/PELS Joint Chapter in association with Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology(MJCET) is hosting a 1/2 day tutorial titled "Application of Modern Adjustable Speed Drive Systems and Advance Converters for Renewable Energy Systems" at MJCET,Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. Please find the Brochure attached.
Date: 30th July 2011, Saturday
Time: 10.00 AM to 1.00PM
Venue: Seminar Hall, MJCET, Hyderabad
About the Tutorial
Adjustable speed drive (ASD) describes equipment used to control the speed of machinery. Many industrial processes such as assembly lines must operate at different speeds for different products. Where process conditions demand adjustment of flow from a pump or fan, varying the speed of the drive may save energy compared with other techniques for flow control.
Where speeds may be selected from several different pre-set ranges, usually the drive is said to be "adjustable" speed. Process control and energy conservation are the two primary reasons for using an adjustable speed drive.
The global electrical energy consumption is steadily rising and consequently there is a demand to increase the power generation capacity and a significant percentage of required capacity increase can be based on renewable energy sources. The various sources of renewable energy being considered in current scenario are Solar, Wind and Fuel Cells.
The session aims at discussing advance converters like Micro Invertersfor solar PV systems and Residential PV systems design for MPPT and other converters.
Speaker
Dr. Prasad Enjeti is Professor and Associate Head of Department of Electrical and Computer Engg., Texas A & M University, Texas. Dr. Prasad also served as The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for the undergraduate programs for Texas A&M at Qatar(TAMUQ).
His research interests are: Advance converters for power supplies, motor drives; power quality issues, active power filter development; utility interface issues, advancing switching power supply designs and solutions to complex power management issues in the context of analog mixed-signal applications; exploring alternative designs to meet the demands of high slew rate load currents at low output voltages; power conditioning systems for fuel cells, wind and solar energy systems; and design of high temperature power conversion systems with wide band-gap semiconductor devices.
He is the lead developer of the Power Electronics / Power Quality & Fuel Cell Power Conditioning Laboratories at Texas A&M University and is actively involved in many projects with industries while engaged in teaching, research and consulting in the area of power electronics, motor drives, power quality and clean power utility interface Issues.
