PORTFOLIO

Revolutionizing the Future of Energy: Pioneering Wireless Power Transfer Solutions for a Connected World.


" If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants " - Isaac Newton

I am Subhabrata Basak, a Prime Minister Research Fellow pursuing my PhD at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Born and raised in West Bengal, India, I got my first exposure to the field of Power Electronics while working under the guidance of Professor Sujit Kumar Biswas. Having worked under his guidance for two years I decided to pursue my PhD in the same field.

Now, in 2022 I am working under the guidance of Professor L. Umanand and Dr. Utsab Kundu at IISc. My current research interest include Capacitive Contactless Wireless Power transfer.

Role of Government in promoting Renewable Resources in India | International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering | Volume 3, Special Issue 3: ICERTSD 2013, Feb 2013, pages 504-513 An ISO 9001:2008 certified Int. Journal, ISSN 2250-2459.

The concept of Sustainable Development ‘presented through Brundtland Report under World Commission gained popularity and importance in 1987. Energy plays a vital role in usage of nature‘s resources and it has direct and indirect impact in economy and environment. Sustainable development of resources, proper mix of the resources for balancing the present need, future demand, conservation of precious resources and at the same time shifting towards non-conventional energy resources are the areas of key challenges we face today in India and the world over in general. India has taken a lead role in exploiting renewable energies and has become a role model to many of the countries of the world. In particular, the potential of solar energy in India is huge due to its location advantage. This paper illustrates various policies adopted by Government of India and other stakeholders for promotion of solar energies and challenges ahead to move towards sustainable energy development.

In this paper we have taken into account two types of Chaotic systems, namely Lorentz Systems and Chua's system of equation followed by their numerical method solutions and Hybrid Function approximation to get their operational matrices.

A Systematic Approach for Characterization of Capacitive Couplers for Wireless EV Charging

This article proposes a structured method for characterizing the capacitive couplers used in wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. Most of the existing approaches rely on expensive finite-element analysis (FEA) tools for estimating the mutual capacitance between the coupler plates. An experimental technique is found in the literature that relies on a series LC resonant circuit but suffers from certain limitations. A parallel LC resonance-based approach is introduced in this article to address those issues. The suggested method requires an initial estimate of the mutual capacitance, which is achieved by deriving an empirical formula. Also, a comprehensive algorithm is presented to design an inductor with low interwinding capacitance, which aids the proposed characterization procedure. An experimental prototype of the capacitive coupler is fabricated and characterized for different vertical distances between the coupler plates under both aligned and misaligned conditions. The outcomes of the proposed method are compared with FEA simulation results, and close agreement between these data is noted.
