Renewable Lab Installation at B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology

Solar PV and Wind Energy Lab installed at B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology enabling researchers and students tu study Solar PV and Wind Turbine systems through hand on experiments.

Introduction

B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology continues to strengthen its commitment to renewable energy education.Ecosense installed two dedicated laboratory systems focused on solar and wind energy technologies at Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

The installation includes the Solar PV Training and Research System and the Wind Energy Training System. Both systems are designed to support hands-on learning, structured laboratory experiments, and applied academic research in renewable energy engineering. This initiative aligns with the growing need for engineers trained in clean energy generation and standalone power systems.

About the Installation

The Renewable Energy Lab installation was planned to provide practical exposure to real solar photovoltaic and wind energy systems. Each system operates independently and is intended for focused experimentation without cross-dependency. The lab setup allows students to work directly with actual energy generation hardware. This approach helps translate theoretical concepts into measurable electrical parameters and observable system behaviour. The installation supports undergraduate laboratories, postgraduate coursework, and research-oriented experimentation within the department.
