Smart Energy Systems

The Faculty Development Program is sponsored by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow, to enhance the quality of
classroom delivery of academic programs being run and to foster a better ecosystem for research and innovation in its affiliated institutions. The Faculty Development Program is intended to introduce the topic in a different perspective and to impart better knowledge and understanding of this important issue and also to train the participants with the teaching methodology.

OVERVIEW:
The focus of this FDP is on establishing an effective and efficient ecosystem for faculty and research scholars in the field electrical engineering. Strengthening faculty and research scholars skills will help in imparting good outcome based teaching and learning which intern helps to provide better global level employment opportunities in top notch industries. In view of this, department of Electrical Engineering will facilitate an opportunity by inviting eminent resource persons from renowned organizations. The geographical map of India provides us tremendous potential to tap the wind energy available along the long coast line and solar energy is almost uniformly available in most of the parts of the northern India. The initiatives taken by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to achieve the target of solar energy is 100 GW and wind energy is 60 GW out of 175 GW from renewable energy by 2022, which provides a huge opportunity to all the stakeholders working in this area. The aim of this faculty development programme is to provide exposure to faculty members, practicing engineers, and students to the concepts of Smart Energy Systems. This FDP begins with an overview of Challenges and Opportunities in Energy Sector.
