About STC: The rapid transformation of conventional power systems into smart and sustainable energy networks has created the need for advanced technologies in monitoring, control, energy management, and protection of modern power grids. The increasing integration of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, and intelligent loads requires reliable, efficient, and adaptive grid operation. This short-term course aims to provide comprehensive knowledge on emerging trends and recent developments in future power grid technologies. The course will cover intelligent monitoring techniques, automatic control strategies, smart energy management systems, and advanced protection methods for modern power systems and microgrids. The programme will also highlight the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensors, data analytics, and automation in enhancing grid reliability, stability, efficiency, and security. Practical challenges associated with renewable energy integration, smart grid operation, and cyber-physical energy systems will also be discussed. A group of eminent experts from leading industry and researchers from IITs/NITs will deliver lectures in this programme. Classes will be conducted in hybrid mode.
At present, there exists a significant gap between academia and industry, while industries increasingly require skilled human resources with practical and interdisciplinary knowledge. Through this industry–academia interaction programme, academicians, researchers, and students will have the opportunity to interact with industry experts and understand current industrial requirements and technological challenges. Nowadays, academic institutions are also actively collaborating with industries to promote research and develop innovative solutions for real-world problems. The course is designed for faculty members, research scholars, industry professionals, postgraduate students, and undergraduate students working in the areas of power systems, power electronics, renewable energy, smart grids, and energy management systems.
