The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organised a Skill Development Workshop on Next-Gen Power Electronics: Magnetics, Gate Drivers & Converter Design. Mr Sadeep Sasidharan, Director, Reliamotive Labs, Dr Ashiq Muhammed, Assistant Professor, NIT Calicut and Mr Aravind Gopalakrishnan, Co-founder, Reliamotive Labs, were the resource persons for the workshop along with faculty members of SRM University-AP.
The workshop provided participants with a comprehensive understanding of the rapidly evolving field of power electronics, combining theoretical knowledge with practical insights. Participants enhanced their expertise through offline sessions delivered by in-house faculty and industry experts from Reliamotive Labs, Bangalore.
The workshop covered the latest trends and technologies in power electronics, with a particular focus on hardware design and development of converters, the design of magnetics for the Flyback Converter, and designing PCBs using KiCad software. It offered hands-on learning opportunities and provided exposure to real-world applications. Participants had the chance to network with professionals, researchers, and experts, fostering collaboration and the exchange of innovative ideas. The workshop has resulted in the participants developing technical skills in circuit design, analysis, and troubleshooting, as well as gaining proficiency with industry tools and software.
An insightful Q&A session helped participants clarify concepts and deepen their understanding during interactions with industry experts. Post-workshop, attendees applied the knowledge gained through mini-projects or continued practice, especially in hardware design and magnetics. Networking with peers and staying connected with resource persons opened doors for collaborative opportunities and further learning.
