We are delighted to share that Pratosh Patankar, a member of the Grid Integration Lab, IIT Bombay, participated at the 2023 𝐈𝐄𝐄𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 (𝐈𝐒𝐆𝐓 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚) in Auckland, presenting a 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭 (𝐆𝐑𝐔) 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐕 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐥𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞-𝐭𝐨-𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Pratosh is a joint PhD student of the Department of Energy Science & Engineering, IIT Bombay (Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay) and Monash Information Technology (Monash University, Australia) at IITB-Monash Research Academy. The presentation delved into the realm of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their pivotal role in renewable energy integration. This approach employs a GRU model, ensuring optimal EV charging profiles for V2H systems. Bridging the gap between theory and reality, the model is trained and tested with real-life data on electricity pricing, house load curves, and solar PV generation. The proposed algorithm not only achieves near-optimal results but also ensures no violations in the physical constraints of EVs.

GIL at IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), 2024, at Phoenix, Arizona, USA

By GILAB@IITB

We are pleased to inform that Mr. Salil Madhav Dubey, a researcher at the Grid Integration Lab, IIT Bombay, recently attended the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition (ECCE), 2024, at Phoenix, Arizona, USA from 20 - 24 October 2024 to share a brief overview of the ongoing research on enhancing the Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) capabilities of Virtual Synchronous Generators (VSGs) within resistance-dominant networks. A dynamic current-based virtual impedance strategy that adapts to varying output conditions, ensuring both electromagnetic and electromechanical stability during severe voltage sags while adhering to grid code requirements have been proposed in this work. A key highlight of this work is the formulation of stability criteria to determine the constant coefficients for dynamically changing current-based virtual impedance, thereby optimizing performance in challenging grid conditions.
