Workshop on "Power Flow and Fault Studies for the Evolving Power Grid" Parth Shah, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (USA)

FROM 06 Oct 2025 TO 06 Oct 2025

Venue : Manipal University Jaipur @ 9:00 AM

The Department of Electrical Engineering, Manipal University Jaipur, organized an insightful online workshop titled "Power Flow and Fault Studies for the Evolving Power Grid" on 6th October 2025. The session was conducted by Parth Shah, P.E., a Technical Consultant at Hitachi Energy and an alumnus of the University of Southern California, with a specialization in Power Systems. The workshop aimed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of modern grid analysis, fault studies, and transmission planning in the context of today's evolving power infrastructure. The event was convened by Dr. Bishwajit Dey, Assistant Professor, and Dr. Neeraj Kanwar, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering. The session began with a warm welcome and speaker introduction by Ms. Anvi Singh Chhetri, a 5th-semester student of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ELC), who briefly highlighted the speaker's academic and professional achievements. The workshop covered three key areas: the fundamentals of power flow analysis, short-circuit and stability studies for ensuring grid reliability, and insights into long-term transmission planning. Mr. Parth Shah shared valuable industry insights and real-world applications drawn from his experience at Hitachi Energy, making complex technical topics accessible and relevant to students. He emphasized the critical role of accurate system modeling and fault studies in maintaining power system stability, especially with the increasing integration of renewable energy. The session was highly interactive, with participants engaging actively in a Q&A round. Questions ranged from simulation tools and techniques to challenges in future transmission planning, all of which were addressed in detail by the speaker. The workshop concluded on a high note, having enriched the attendees with both theoretical and practical knowledge. The Department of Electrical Engineering expressed its intention to continue organizing such expert-led sessions to strengthen students' industry readiness and technical expertise.
