About the talk
An emerging trend in power systems technologies is the shift in the share of power generation from traditional large, centralised fossil-fuel-based thermal power-generation systems (coupled to large transmission-distribution grids) to new Renewable and/or Hybrid Distributed Power generation (HDP) systems (EITHER off-grid OR grid-tied) forming a small, local power generation- distribution systems called as nano/micro/mini-grids. Such HDP systems and micro-grids can help solve the universal energy access problem by providing electricity in remote, rural areas at lower carbon footprints. Whereas, in urban areas, similar scaled-up, grid-tied HDP microgrids can help reduce energy costs and carbon footprints for commercial and industrial facilities, campuses, and buildings.
The talk will highlight Physical and Digital transformation covering some details of a specific HDP solution that combines novel HDP Physical Systems (i.e., SolarPV, Battery, IC Engine, Power-Energy Controls, and Management, etc.) integrated with state-of-art HDP Digital platform (i.e., cyber-secured Edge- CloudApp based advanced IIOT automation platform) developed by speaker & his team at GE Global Research Center, Bangalore and with several plants successfully deployed & operational globally last few years. Finally, a brief overview will be provided describing the expansion of this work to an urban microgrid energy management platform.

Electric vehicles are the new paradigm of the automobile industry. The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is arranging an invited talk on the Emerging landscape of electric vehicles-The new era of mobility to discuss how India is gearing up for this huge opportunity and the challenges that come along with the new pattern of mobility. Dr Deb Mukherjee, the Managing Director of Omega Seiki Mobility Pvt Ltd, will handle the session.
About the talk
Globally, almost all OEMs have made plans to switch to nonfossil fuel vehicles. Data shows that out of global production of 90 million/annum, 76% will switch to electric vehicles by 2040. In India, this transition has also started in the last five years with Government intervention. In the field of 2 and 3-wheelers, we are seeing a significant switch to Electrics in the previous 5 years. Government is incentivising demand with incentives like FAME2. In addition to this, on the supply side, there are PLI schemes, etc. Moreover, Government is targeting a 30% conversion to electric vehicles by 2030. Given the Indian automotive industry numbers, this will be a massive scale of electric vehicles in the country. Apart from domestic demand, EVs have the potential to become one of the biggest exporters for India, both in vehicles and components. The opportunity size is more than $500Bn.
To prepare for this tremendous opportunity, we need to start large-scale manufacturing of cells, batteries, powertrains, and other electronic components. The supply side challenges are equally enormous as there is a severe lack of materials, technology, and supply chain in the country. The most important question is how India is preparing for this mega opportunity and the challenges in this new paradigm of mobility.

Unravelling the perceptions on Time!
2022-12-10 19:00 | Online event
Humankind has always been enthralled by the ever-intriguing concept of Time and its perceived nature. This complex phenomenon with the scientific deliberation of its absolute or relative nature, has been extensively discussed in literature, creative arts, and scientific academia. The Department of English is organising a webinar titled “Time and Apocalypse” on December 10, 2022. Distinguished writer and physicist Prof. Vandana Singh is the keynote speaker of the session. Dr Soni Wadhwa, Assistant Professor, Department of English, who is teaching the open elective course titled Time Travel Narratives (that includes Prof Singh’s two time travel stories as well) would be engaging Prof Singh in an interaction. The webinar will expound on the tenets of Time and its cultural notions in perceiving modern-day crisis phenomena such as climate change.
Abstract
“Time” is one of the most used words in English, but it is also one of the least understood and most perplexing – as a phenomenon as well as an idea. In this talk, Prof. Vandana Singh will explore the physics of time while focusing on the two extreme views of time, absolute and relative. The view held by Isaac Newton is that time is absolute and it has also taken root in different cultures as the only truth about time. The view held by Albert Einstein is that time is relative, a subject that has inspired much speculative fiction and science fiction films such as those dealing with time travel. Prof Singh will talk about these different views of time as well as alternative cultural conceptions that offer new insights as we confront modern-day apocalypses such as the unfolding horror of climate change.
About the Speaker
Prof. Vandana Singh is an Indian science fiction writer and physicist, and a professor of physics and environment at Framingham State University in the US. While her background is in theoretical particle physics, her current academic work is on a transdisciplinary conceptualization of the climate crisis. She is a 2021 Climate Imagination Fellow at Arizona State’s Center for Science and the Imagination, where, along with three other international science fiction writers, she worked on climate fiction in the lead-up to the UN COP 26 Climate Conference in Glasgow in November 2021.

Dr Lorenzo Contessi on many-body systems
2022-12-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Online event
International research exposure is a prerequisite to developing an analytical bent of mind and knowledge acquisition. Global exposure help acquaint scholars with the nuances in the recent research domains and methodology. The Department of Physics is organising a Department Research Seminar to promote research discourse with eminent scientists and scholars from all around the world. The seminar will be addressed by Dr Lorenzo Contessi, Postdoctoral Researcher, IJCLabs, on December 14, 2022. In this seminar titled “Many-body systems around universality”, Dr Contessi will discuss various universal systems, especially in the unitarity universality class.
Abstract
Universal systems are quantum mechanical objects that can be described similarly despite having different typical sizes, energies, and degrees of freedom. This is possible because they share identical few-body properties. Unitarity is arguably the most common universality class for low-energy physics and can be found in hadronic, nuclear, and atomic fields. This interconnection between fields is important because it allows for the passage of knowledge from one field to another. This is of special benefit to the fields in which very little is experimentally known since emergent phenomena can be predicted from more widely known sectors of physics. What is the “best” theory to describe the emergent phenomena maintaining interdisciplinarity is not a simple question to be answered. However, effective field theories result is the most natural framework for this search for their systematic improvability and the connection to the underlying physics of the various universal systems.
Join the webinar to learn how to build an effective quantum mechanical theory, how to pass knowledge from one field to others, and what phenomena emerge in many-body systems.

Tax Policies and Inconsistencies: Complexity of the GST Act
2022-12-23 11:00 - 12:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Economics is organising a special lecture by Prof. R Srinivas on December 23, 2022. The lecture on “Evolving Design of Goods and Services Tax” will highlight the inconsistent buoyancy of the GST tax implemented in India. The Goods and Services Tax was introduced as a harmonised tax system for the taxation of commodities in India in June 2017, covering more than 60% of the commodity transactions in the country. Union and state governments have been concurrently levying this tax and administering it. There are no differences in tax rates, tax bases and administration processes across India. Prof. Srinivas will elucidate why the adopted tax system remains complex and yet to be wholly efficient.
Abstract
The effort to harmonise commodity taxation in India started in 1993 at a conference of state finance ministers resolving to move towards a non-distorting Value Added Tax (VAT) system in India. The earlier arrangement of the levy of Excise Duty on production by the Union government and the levy of sales tax on transactions by the state governments created a complex, economically distorting and non-buoyant tax system. With the adoption of VAT, the existing problem was thought to be resolved.
Though all the states adopted VAT in 2006, the distorting tax system prevailed with differences in tax rates, tax bases and the continuance of old sales tax on inter-state tax. The Union and state governments formed an empowered committee on commodity taxation in the late 1990s, and since then negotiations went on to culminate in the implementation of GST in June 2017.
Though the GST is supposed to be buoyant, it is not consistently buoyant to be considered a reliable source of revenue. The two major commodities, petroleum products and liquor are outside the GST. This continues to distort the commodity tax system. The creation of the GST council to resolve conflicts between states and between union and state governments on issues relating to GST is also seen as another source of political friction by the states who have given up a substantial portion of their tax powers. In terms of tax administration, smaller firms face unsurmountable difficulties in adhering to the regulations of the GST act in terms of filing tax returns and getting refunds of tax credits.
Therefore, with several conflicts remaining unresolved the GST as a system of commodity taxation is still evolving and has yet to reach a level of maturity and stability.

2023-03-07 09:30 - 11:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
Green growth, an exceptional strategy advocating environmentally sustainable economic development, has received wider attention due to the prevailing crisis on climate change and environmental degradation. In this needful hour of cultivating green skills to adapt products, services and processes to combat climate change and the related environmental requirements, The Department of Environmental Sciences is organising a National Science Day Seminar on “Green Growth Technologies and Skills” on March 07, 2023. Prof. Seeram Ramakrishna, FREng, Everest Chair, Director-Center for Nanotechnology & Sustainability, National University of Singapore, will be the keynote speaker of the seminar.
Abstract
Countries pledged net-zero emissions by 2050. Businesses are aligning with the decarbonization of economies. There are three main routes to decarbonization. Energy efficiency is estimated to reduce emissions by 15-20%. Deploying decarbonised technologies across all sectors contributes to a 40-45% reduction in emissions. Up to 40% emissions reduction is envisaged by transitioning from the current linear economy to a more circular economy. The circular industrial economy reduces dependence on virgin resources and generates resources from the waste streams generated by consumerism. Green growth means greening existing industries and creating new green industries. The green growth pursuit augers well for humans and global environmental commons.

Combating Plastic Waste Contamination in India
2023-03-15 10:00 - 12:30 | S209, Level 2, New Academic Block
Plastic pollution and contamination is an emerging crisis that has become a major contributor to environmental degradation. Strategic measures with maximum efficacy must be adopted to tackle this increasing challenge. The Department of Environmental Science and Engineering is organising a seminar titled the ‘Scenario of Emerging Pollutant – Microplastics in India: Abundance, Fate (stability, mobility, trophic transfer) and Eco-friendly Remediation’. The seminar will be held on March 15, 2023. Prof. Gopala Krishna Darbha, Associate Professor, IISER, Kolkata is the keynote speaker of the session. Prof. Darbha will deliver an insightful session on the excessive production of microplastics in India and how the staggering growth of plastic contamination will negatively influence our ecosystem.
Abstract
The global demand for plastics has been increasing continuously because plastics have now become a ubiquitous part of human life. The plastics are easily available at low cost and have the maximum durability properties due to which it is getting very difficult to derail the entire systems of plastics manufacturing and its use. In the last 50 years, it has been reported that the global production of plastic is 9.1 billion tons, while the annual rate of plastic production has been continuously increasing by 8.7 %. These plastics generate 274 million tonnes of plastic solid waste, globally. In India, approximately 9.4 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated per year, and 60 % of the plastic waste is recycled while the remaining is either landfilled or left unnoticed. Furthermore, the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sudden increase in the production of personal protective equipment (gloves and masks) which adds plastic waste to the terrestrial environment, and this can cause grievous plastic pollution soon. Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles which are < 5 mm in diameter. These are estimated by various methods like salt-based density separation, physical (microscopy), and chemical characterisation (spectroscopy).
Join the session and learn to combat the microplastic crisis!

The talk will provide insight into time-series analysis and data representation as effective tools in understanding the working of machinery such as wind turbines.
Join the talk for a resourceful session!
Abstract
A wind turbine is a complex machine with its rotating and non-rotating equipment being sensitive to faults. Due to increased wear and tear, the maintenance aspect of a wind turbine is of critical importance. The unexpected failure of wind turbine components can lead to increased O&M costs which ultimately reduces the effective power capture of a wind farm. Fault detection in wind turbines is often supplemented with SCADA data available from wind farm operators in the form of a time-series format with a 10-minute sample interval. Moreover, time-series analysis and data representation has become powerful tool to get a deeper understanding of the dynamic processes in complex machinery like wind turbines. Wind turbine SCADA data is usually available in form of a multivariate time series with variables like gearbox oil temperature, gearbox bearing temperature, nacelle temperature, rotor speed and active power produced. In this preprint, we discuss the concept of a digital twin for time-to-failure forecasting of the wind turbine gearbox where a predictive module continuously gets updated with real-time SCADA data and generates meaningful insights for the wind farm operator.

Prof. Irudaya Rajan on Kerala Migration Survey
2023-04-19 14:00 | S205, Conference Hall, New Academic Block
Migration has become a worldwide phenomenon in the 21st century. Migratory tendencies have been inherent in the context of Kerala, and it has been shaping the economic and social situation. The economic boom within the Gulf countries gave migration a considerable boost, reaching its peak in terms of both numbers and remittance. Ironically, Kerala, of late, is witnessing a reverse migration of labour. On this note, the Department of Economics is organising a distinguished lecture titled “Big Data on Migration” on April 19, 2024. Distinguished academician and scholar, Prof. Irudya Rajan, Chairman at The International Institute of Migration and Development (IIMAD), Thiruvananthapuram will deliver the lecture.
Join the lecture for a resourceful session!
Abstract
The first Kerala Migration Survey started in 1998 as a part of understanding the impact of migration on individuals, households, communities, the economy, and society using a stratified multistage random sampling of 10,000 households. Over the period of the last 25 years, our sample size has increased from 10000 in 1998 to 15000 in 2008 and 20000 in 2023. The estimates produced through this survey have become an important source for the Government of Kerala for its policy-making decisions regarding migration governance, particularly return migration during the COVID-19 crisis. Interestingly, Kerala model migration surveys have been replicated in the following states of India: Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Punjab, Goa, Jharkhand and Odisha.
About the Speaker
Prof. Irudya Rajan is a seasoned academician with over 30+ years of teaching experience across the country. He was conferred with a PhD in Demography from the International Institute for Population Sciences, the University of Mumbai, in 1989. His research interests include International Migration, the Economics of Ageing and Demography, and Population Ageing. An esteemed scholar, Prof. Rajan has published in various reputed international and national journals, book chapters and research projects funded by global organisations. He currently holds the position of Distinguished Visiting Professor, at the Department of Economics, SRM University-AP and Chairman at The International Institute of Migration and Development (IIMAD), Thiruvananthapuram. Prior to this, he held the position of Professor, at the Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram.
Since 1998, Prof. Rjan coordinated eight large-scale migration surveys in Kerala with Professor K C Zachariah. The success of the Kerala Migration Survey urged neighbouring Indian states like, Goa (2008), Punjab (2009), Tamil Nadu (2015), and Gujarat (2011) to replicate the same. He also developed the first longitudinal Ageing Survey in India (Kerala) in 2004 and repeated the same every three years. The first Kerala Ageing Survey (KAS) completed its seventh wave in 2022. The second KAS which began in 2013, completed its fourth wave in 2022.
