Solar Energy Research Centre
| S. No. | NAME OF EQUIPMENT | FACILITIES | ACHIEVEMENTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nano-Solar research apparatus |
This is highly advanced system can be used for performance analysis of flat plate solar collectors using nanofluids |
One PhD completed, two M. Tech and 6 undergraduateprojects. 4 SCI Journal of high impact factor published with the help of this apparatus. |
| 2 | PV/T photovoltaic thermal system with artificial solar simulator |
This is very advanced system. It can be used in indoor and outdoor testing of solar energy absorption efficiency of system. |
Presently 4 B.Tech projects are running, 2 completed. |
| 3 | Solar energy storage system using phase changing materials |
This system is highly useful in storing energy of solar heating system. System uses phase changing materials for energy storage and release. |
Phase changing materials for energy storage and release. Useful for advanced research. Two students are pursuing PhD in this field. |
| 4 | Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) (a) single axis (b) double axis |
These are state of art apparatus which are incorporated with automatic and manual control Sun tracking device to maximize solar energy absorption at all time. Research work at undergraduate and doctoral is going on with full vigor |
Centre also intends to provide solar energy testing and auditing facility for industry needs. |
| 5 | Solar air heating system for drying of agri-products and space heating |
This innovative project successfully designed by graduate students: 2018. In this area lot of opportunities of research still require. |
SERC certainly address in this area authentically. |
From the new session 2018-19, SERC will run 1- a credit course for undergraduate students. The course is designed to fulfill the needs of engineering graduates and infill technological and engineering skills to design and operate smart systems based on
