Title:MATLAB: Programming language for Engineers

Abstract: MATLAB (MATrixLABoratory) is a programming language which is very useful for engineers, scientists and other professionals. MATLAB is a special-purpose language that is an excellent choice for writing moderate-size programs that solves problems involving the manipulation of numbers and mathematical expressions. MATLAB allows matrix operations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creating user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages like C, Java, Fortran and Python. MATLAB is being intensively used in a wide variety of domains like all disciplines of engineering, natural sciences, finance, etc., and it is heavily used in industry. This talk will give basic idea of exploring MATLAB for simple mathematical problem and then it application insolving some electrical circuit problem like RLC circuits etc. MATLAB Simulink tool will be discussed to solve electrical circuits' problems using graphical user interface.

Title:Developing a Smart Grid: Opportunities, Applications and Challenges

Abstract: Developing a Smart Grid for Electric Power is one of the most active areas of research in Electrical Engineering all over the world. In India also it is one of the top priority areas for the Government. In the year 2013 a National Smart Grid Mission was launched by the Government of India. Smart Grid represents a paradigm shift in the way power grid has been monitored and controlled. It necessitates utilization of modern sensing, communication and computation tools at all the stages in the grid. Smart Grid is an area of truly interdisciplinary research where Power System Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, and Communication and Computation Engineering need to merge seamlessly. This intends intends to prepare the background for this understanding for students as well as faculty members. In the first part of this tutorial the evolution of power grid in its present form and the problems associated with the conventional grid will be presented in brief followed by a detailed description of Smart Grid characterstics, features and benefits over conventional grid. In the second part of the tutorial the application areas and technologies involved in the development of a smart grid will be described. In the third part of the tutorial the challenges in the implementation of smart grid particularly from the point of view of measurement and communication will be addressed. A tentative list of topics to be covered may be as follows:
•Problems with Conventional Grid
•Smart Grid: Definition, Characterstics, Features, Comparison with Conventional Grid
•Applications of Smart Grid: Enhanced Reliability, Enhanced Power Quality, Integration of Renewables for Environment Protection, Islanding etc.
•Technologies in Smart Grid: Distributed Generation, Real Time Monitoring and Control, State Measurement, Automatic Metering Infrastructure, Demand Side Management
•Challenges: Secure and Reliable Communication, Cyber Security, Data Tsunami from Wide Area Monitoring and Control System and Deployment of Smart Meters, Monitoring and Control of Renewable Integrated Distribution Systems.
