Dr. Babu Chalamala, a Senior Scientist for Sandia National Laboratories, was appointed as the founding chair of the TC2: Technical Committee on Grid Interfaces for the IEEE Transportation Electrification Council. Dr. Chalamala’s chairmanship became effective June 18, 2024.
The objective of this committee is to reach across IEEE Societies to foster awareness, communicate about, and coordinate efforts concerning essential interfaces between electric, vehicles (EVs) and the electric power grid. These interfaces include direct and indirect connections for charge/discharge purposes as well as any requisite stationary or mobile support infrastructure.
The IEEE Transportation Electrification Council (TEC) coordinates activities throughout the IEEE in the growing field of electrification across transportation domains, including advances in electric and hybrid cars, more-electric ships and aircraft, rail systems, personal transport, and the motive, storage, power grid, electronic intelligence, and control technologies that make them possible.
