RESEARCH AND CONSULTANCY

In order to fit into the modern era of technology advancement, the Dept. of EEE lays considerable importance to in-house research. Due to the presence of a PG programme in the dept. in the area of Electrical Machines, much of the researches take place in this domain. These researches are carried out by the PG students, under the guidance of various faculties of the department. Some of the research topics in this domain are as follows:

Design of new kind of electrical machines, for e.g. design of rotary linear switched reluctance motor for applications involving hybrid motion
Position, speed & torque control of various electrical machines through different methods, for e.g. Sensor-less control of BLDC motors
Development of environment friendly electric drives, for e.g. Implementation of low cost converter for an autonomous photovoltaic water pumping system
Development of energy saving schemes, for e.g. Energy regeneration during the braking of electric vehicles
Fault detection in various machines, for e.g. Novel bearing fault detection and analysis of induction machines.
Development of sensors for condition monitoring of electrical machines, for e.g. Development of cost-effective sensor for estimation of dissolved moisture in transformer oil

To support these researches, in addition to the regular electrical machines lab, there is a full-fledged research lab in the dept. with custom designed Induction Motor, BLDC motor and SRM motor drives and their controllers for analysis and also advanced machine design & control software such as Maxwell, Simplorer and MATLAB. Apart from the research carried out in the PG stream, many developments are also done by the UG students under the guidance of various faculties in the dept.

DEPARTMENT LIBRARY

Apart from highly equipped Central Library the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department separately owns a standard library. This Department Library has several foreign and well known publishers’ books and study materials related to Electrical Engineering along with the textbooks and reference books prescribed by the University of Kerala as part of the Electrical Engineering curriculum. The Department is proud as the Faculty Members and students rely on the library faithfully for their reference, development and research activities.
Apart from the above mentioned texts and references the Department also take initiative in subscribing to various Technical Journals and Magazines. The Faculty Members and students having IEEE Membership help in updating the Department.
