Kolkata, July 20 Researchers from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed optimised control schemes for active power distribution networks that can enable coordinated operation of photovoltaic (PV) power generation and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Dr Sanjib Ganguly, Associate Professor, Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE), IIT Guwahati, along with his research scholar Arunima Dutta and collegue Dr Chandan Kumar, have recently published their research in thejournal of Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks.Electric vehicles are being increasingly considered as the solution to carbon emissions from the transportation sector. The sustainability of EV can be enhanced if the power used to charge these vehicles is also based on renewable energy sources such as solar energy. However, solar energy is intermittent, which leads to voltage…
