Dr. Arun Kumar Tripathi addressed the audience about the Government’s plan on renewable energy and electric vehicles. He discussed how this conference would play a significant role in research and development on renewable energy and electric vehicle in India. Prof. Sri Niwas Singh discussed the importance of the new generation of power electronics in his inaugural talk. In his inaugural speech, Prof. Bhim Singh discussed on the future of new generation DC motors for the electric vehicle. Prof. Akshay Rathore discussed the new challenges of electric motors for new generation electric vehicles in his speech. Prof Fushuan Wen and Prof. Andre Obelor addressed their inaugural speech through online mode. The conference started with an award ceremony of two special categories: (1) Lifetime Achievement Award and (2) Elite Academician Award.
The inaugural ceremony ended with a vote of thanks delivered by Dr. Ankush Ghosh, Technical Chair of the conference. The first keynote lecture was delivered by Prof. Saad Mekhilef with a talk titled “The role of power electronics in the decarbonization of our energy supply”. In the second keynote lecture, Prof. Akshay Rathore discussed the “Scenario of Battery and Hydrogen Electric Vehicles in India”. A keynote session followed lunch. Four parallel technical sessions started in the four halls Jakandra-1, Jakandra-2, Maple, and Mehagini. The MatLab workshop started at Silver Oak Hall. 72 papers were presented with the participation of more than 200 authors. 2 session chairs were present in every session.
