State-of-the-art facility to drive innovation in hydroelectric systems
The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) made a significant stride in research and development with the inauguration of its revamped Power Electronics and Hydro-Electric Machines Laboratory (PEHEM Lab). The event, followed by an industry-academia workshop, underscored the institute’s commitment to addressing critical energy challenges.
The PEHEM Lab, now equipped with cutting-edge technology, aims to drive innovation in hydro-electric systems. It will serve as a platform for research into areas such as hack-free hydroplant control systems, decision support systems for hydropower complexes, and sustainable energy solutions.
Prof. K.K. Pant, Director of IIT Roorkee, emphasized the lab’s role in advancing India’s energy independence and sustainability goals. The collaboration with CADFEM India through the joint workshop focused on harnessing simulation technology for water resources and hydropower systems.
This initiative aligns with the government’s vision of promoting research and development, and IIT Roorkee’s commitment to fostering industry-academia partnerships for sustainable solutions.
Key highlights:
- Inauguration of the modernized PEHEM Lab at IIT Roorkee.
- Focus on research and development in hydro-electric systems.
- Commitment to sustainability and technological advancement.
- Industry-academia collaboration to address energy challenges.
