|
PERFORMANCE TESTING EQUIPMENTS / FACILITY |
|
- Field measurement of flow in penstocks, channel, rivers
- Efficiency measurement for hydro turbine
- Performance testing of control and protection equipments
- Residual strength of civil structures
- Measurement of sedimentation in channel
- Modelling of SHP stations
|
|
(such independent facility is non existing in the region) - AHEC has
been notified by GOI |

|
REAL TIME DIGITAL SIMULATOR (RTDS) FOR SHP PLANT |
|
Real-Time Digital Simulator for Small Hydropower Plants for training has been estabilished at AHEC IIT Roorkee |
- SET up with support of MNRE and UNDP in April 2007
- Offering 4 levels training modules of 6 days (in service), 15 days (new) and 1 day (owners)
- All types of operation normal- start/stop of unit, synchronisation of unit with the grid, load variation, turbine and
generator protection, breakers failures
- operation log and trend chart, power channel , forebay and penstock draining, loss of auxiliary supply, valve blocking in
position, sensors defects
- Shall result in reduced O&M costs, avoids damage to plant, increase in plant life and reduce
training time
|
| Research in the Area of Solar Energy |
|
- Development of solar air heaters having artificial roughness element of different shapes and sizes
- Development of packed bed solar energy storage system having different sizes and shapes of packing materials
|
