Abstract

The Virtual Conference on Recent trends on Renewable Energy, Smart Grid, and Electric Vehicle Charging is a platform for researchers, academics as well as professionals from all over the world to present, discuss and promote advances in knowledge, research, and practice in the field of Smartgrid, Renewable Energy Integration, Energy Storage System, Power Quality in Smart Grid, Transactive Energy Systems. RESGEVT-20 offered fantastic opportunity to all the global researchers to share their view through digital platform without any restrictions due to COVID-19.RESGEVT-20 focuses on renewable energy, smart grid, and electric vehicle charging technology. Renewable energy, and smart grid technology has a way for a solution for better generation of electric power and an efficient way for transmission and distribution of this power. Due to its versatility it can be more easily installed and required less space as compared to traditional grids. Concept of Smart Grid design is aimed for grid observability, create controllability of assets, enhance performance and security of power system and specially the economic aspects of operations, maintenance and planning. That’s why it is also consider that smart grid technology can be used to micro-grid level which eventually connect to all other micro-grids to form a large network of Smart Grid. These smart grids have a huge potential and could be a solution of reliability of power transmission and distribution in developing countries which lack infrastructure. In US only 20% of the all carbon dioxide is been emitted by transportation while generation of electricity has 40% of the carbon dioxide emitting share in it. This is due to the high demand rise of electricity. Smart Grids are been considering as a key role to address this problem by distributing electric power in an efficient way and ultimately reduce greenhouse gasses and pollutants like NOx and Sox.The virtual conference RESGEVT 20 was organized by Centre for Smart grid Technologies, School of Electrical Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India.
