Bharati Vidyapeeth, known for its emphasis on quality technical education, has partnered with Ecosense to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical competence in renewable energy systems.
In a significant step
toward equipping future engineers with hands-on skills in sustainable
technology, Ecosense Sustainable Solutions has successfully installed a
state-of-the-art Renewable Energy Laboratory at Bharati Vidyapeeth
College of Engineering (BVCoE), Pune. This cutting-edge facility integrates two
advanced learning platforms: the Solar PV Training and Research System and the Wind
Energy Training System—together creating a powerful ecosystem for renewable
energy education, research, and innovation.
Bharati Vidyapeeth, known
for its emphasis on quality technical education, has partnered with Ecosense to
bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical competence in
renewable energy systems. The newly installed lab is poised to serve not only
as a training hub for undergraduate and postgraduate students but also as a
research and development space for projects aligned with India’s clean energy
mission.
The Solar PV Training and
Research System is a compact, hands-on educational platform that replicates a
real-world standalone solar power plant. Ideal for universities, polytechnics,
and research labs, it empowers learners to explore solar photovoltaic technology—from
basic principles to advanced MPPT algorithms. The system features structured
experiments across three modules: PV characteristics, standalone system
integration, and MPPT research. Using modular plug-in units and artificial
sunlight, it enables detailed study of panel behavior, wiring, and
environmental effects. A complete solution for technical training, academic
projects, and solar innovation.
What sets this system apart
is its data-driven approach. Students can capture and analyze performance data
under various conditions, enabling them to investigate efficiency curves,
energy yield, power conditioning, and fault scenarios. This transforms abstract
textbook concepts into tangible, measurable experiments that spark curiosity
and deeper understanding.
The Wind Energy Training
System by Ecosense is a comprehensive educational platform designed to simulate
and analyze wind energy generation in a controlled laboratory environment. This
system facilitates hands-on learning and research by allowing users to study
the operational characteristics of wind turbines, understand energy conversion
processes, and explore system integration aspects. With its modular design and
advanced instrumentation, it serves as an invaluable tool for both academic
instruction and applied research in renewable energy technologies.
Through this system,
learners can conduct experiments on Betz’s limit, tip-speed ratio, torque-speed
characteristics, and pitch control strategies. The setup also supports hybrid
renewable configurations by interfacing with solar and storage systems—enabling
a unified understanding of how wind complements solar in distributed
generation.
Ecosense Sustainable
Solutions has long been at the forefront of educational infrastructure for
clean technologies. With installations across premier institutions in India,
the company’s approach blends engineering precision with educational empathy—designing
systems that are as insightful as they are intuitive.
Ecosense continues to
support the institution with technical training, curriculum integration, and
post-installation assistance—ensuring that the lab evolves with pedagogical and
technological advancements.
The installation of the
Renewable Energy Lab at Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, Pune, marks
a significant milestone in preparing students for roles in India’s green
economy. By combining Ecosense’s expertise in education technology with BVCoE’s
commitment to academic excellence, this partnership sets a precedent for how
institutions can empower students to not only learn about renewable energy but
to shape its future.
As India marches toward its
renewable energy targets and net-zero goals, initiatives like this are pivotal
in building human capacity—engineers, researchers, and innovators who can
design, deploy, and scale clean energy systems for a sustainable tomorrow.
