DST-SERB

Fast Track Young Scientist- Engineering Sciences Scheme

Dr. M. Senthil Kumar, Professor Department of EEE was awarded with Fast Track Young Scientist – Engineering Sciences scheme of DST-SERB for the project “Evaluation of Voltage Stability index in distributed photovoltaic system”.

DST – SEED Women Technology Park (WTP)

Department of EEE, Sona College of Technology has developed a SOLAR FOOD PROCESSING UNIT of around 750 sq.ft with a loading capacity of 120Kg under the Women Technology Park programme of Department of Science and Technology (DST) – Science for Equity, Empowerment and Development division. The excess fruits and vegetables available beyond the demand in market can be processed using the solar drier to avoid spoilage. Also, due to drying of food material as the moisture content is removed shelf life and nutrition content is increased.

Department of EEE – DST-FIST FUNDED

Under DST-FIST (Fund for Improvement of S&T infrastructure) Sona College of Technology was sanctioned with a total fund of Rs. 30,00,000/- ( Rupees thirty lakh) in the year 2016. Through this scheme Department of EEE upgraded the R&D infrastructure thereby facilitating and promoting the R&D activities in new and emerging areas such as Advanced electrical motors for Space and Defence applications.

SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Department of EEE, Sona college of Technology designed and developed a SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC VEHICLE. The vehicle was developed under SONA SEED MONEY SCHEME by PI- Dr. C. Santhana Lakshmi and Co-PI – Dr. R. Satheesh Kumar. This Electric Tri-Wheeler uses BLDC motor and controller of capacity 2kW. Roof top solar panel of 100W is used for powering the battery. The vehicle has the capacity of running 100kms/ charge. The Li-ion battery used can be charged fully within 6 to 8 hours and the maximum speed limit is 35Km/hour. The vehicle is aimed to carry passengers and goods inside the campus. The solar Tri-Wheeler is handed over to the management on 8th June 2022.
