With the development of new technologies, the electric power grid across the world is undergoing a massive transformation. Many types of renewable energy sources (especially Wind & Solar) have significantly penetrated the grid, and now with the advent of distributed generation & microgrids, energy storage and electric vehicles, the grid is becoming more and more complex. Handling the intermittent power from Wind and Solar, maintaining grid reliability and stability and accommodating bi-directional power flow from distributed power and electric vehicles are some of the key challenges.
On the other hand, significant technology developments have taken place over the last decade in the areas of sensing, communication, data management and data analytics.The convergence of physical and digital innovations coupled with technology advances in energy systems has begun to drastically impact the ecosystem.The future of the power ecosystem will include more electrification, (Centralized & Distributed) and more digitization. New players coupled with new business models will emerge in order to address the challenges of balancing the fuel mix, integrating new technologies and maintaining physical and cybersecurity. This will present unprecedented opportunities to multiple stakeholders.
The objective of this track is to showcase the physical-digital innovations that would help transform the electricity ecosystem.
The following are the themes in this track.
Energy generation and consumption chain has witnessed very large transformations due to urbanization, industrialization, transportation & lifestyle changes. Our energy needs and usage patterns have created needs for concentrated energy guzzlers like cities and industrial estates,T&D networks, large power plants running on coal, gas, nuclear.
Depleting fossil fuels and global warming served as wakeup call and we are looking back towards Sun and Wind.“Distributed Generation” becomes necessity as these resources are ubiquitous in nature and can’t be transported or concentrated like fossil fuels in one place. Intermittence, unpredictability and variability are creating stress for the electrical networks and Sun’s duty hours don’t really matchup to our consumption patterns.
Energy Storage is magic bullet for these and there has been a lot of work around it for a long time. However with rising share of Renewables in the energy basket, electric mobility, growing urbanization there is a renewed impetus on this and a large amount of scientific attention is being aimed towards it.Technologies in use for few decades are Pumped Hydro, Fly wheel, Compressed Air, Batteries and Super capacitors
In this track the key themes being addressed / showcased are linked with current issues and potential issues brewing up in INDIA.

The following are the themes in this track.
To intensify participation by Indian Electrical & Electronic companies in the upcoming technology & business opportunities in electric vehicles with specific focus on
To engage with government, policy makers & regulatory authorities & play a role in evolving an“Indian industry centric” policy & strategy for developing the supply chain, standards & regulatory mecha- nisms (such as modification of IE Rules etc.,) needed for achieving the PM’s vision of 100% electric mobility by 2030.
Transition from current technology to 100% electric mobility may involve infrastructural challenges that call for deployment of “interim” technologies such as hybrids to play a role. Alignment of the Electrical & Electronics Industry with the automotive industry during such a transition phase shall be a focus area.
To engage the Electrical & Electronics Industry with the players in the domain of Intermediate Public Transportation (IPT), so as to define the technologies & business paths the industry should adopt to serve this segment.
To evolve thoughts & strategies on mitigating risks of “Lithium dependence”. Apart from securing lithium supplies it is necessary to also evolve policies/strategies for re-using such batteries for other energy storage applications as well as develop a strong battery recycling capabilities within India.
To provide a platform for exchange of new ideas relating to various types of transportation electrification… some examples being “Electric Highways”,“Hyperloop”,“Flying Taxis” etc. & their prospective application in India.
Policy perspectives in terms of (a) skill development in EV technology, (b) mandatory transition of public vehicles into electric through a predefined timetable, (c ) mandatory charging stations in all new apartment complexes and institutional buildings, (d) all new parking infra to mandatorily support charging, (e ) adop- tion of equivalent of ITDM in defence procurement for procurement of EV by governments etc.
In today’s India, it is the start-up community which is at the forefront of innovation. Many new ideas, and breakthroughs have come about and will continue to flow in from this segment of the industry.
It is lean, new, agile and ready to adapt. This nature of start-up function is very important of the world of energy and electricity as it moves towards a convergence with newer technologies.
The is where eTechNxt comes in, it gives innovative start-ups a much needed platform to showcase and discuss their work which will redefine the future energy ecosystem.
At eTechNxt, you will meet around 30 such agencies with their prototypes and exhibits, raring to get into a dialogue and envision a future convergence with students, industry leaders and visionaries.
This showcase will be jointly powered by IEEMA, TIE-Global and NASSCOM.
The prime objective of Engineer Infinite, an international conference is to connect the electrical & electronics industries to research, academia and bring out new technologies / products & markets that are “NxT”.The conference will provide an opportunity for researchers, academicians, scientists and professional engineers to present their work, publish results, exchange ideas and network for scientific and industrial collaborations in an international forum.The preference will be given for high quality technical papers having demonstration/product setup for exhibition.
The tracks are:
India is rapidly transforming. Aspirations are evolving faster than before. A recent report by Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm, projects India’s GDP to cross US$ 6 trillion by 2027. Winds of change are in motion.
The Electricity domain is getting intertwined with digital/internet tech (including IoT & AI), Industry 4.0, energy storage, transporta- tion electrification & evolution of next gen consumer behavior.This is driving the metamorphosis of the Industry.
Globally new value in trillions of US$ is expected to be created, globally and India shall be among the “new value” creation hotspots.
Create a co-creation platform for collaborative engagement between IT,Telecom, Energy Storage, Electric transportation
Engage the electrical industry with the rapidly evolving “startup eco system” in India & thus kick start the concept of “new value co-creation
Engage with engineering students, academia & researchers to promote new thinking & high quality innovation, development of new ideas/concepts as well as high quality sustainable innovation.
Showcase technologies & innovations and give a perspective of the future & enable thought leaders to interact with industry leaders & visitors.
