<p><span style="color: #a51c30;"><strong>About:</strong></span></p>
<p>In order to put Gujarat on unconventional energy basket in India, GoG took an initiative of establishing a centre dedicated to research &amp; development activities in the area of exploration and exploitation of geothermal energy. In this light, with the support of GoG, PDEU established Centre of Excellence for Geothermal Energy (CEGE) on 10th of October, 2013. For smooth functioning of the centre, PDEU faculties took a lead and started developmental activities for the centre. With time, research professionals were also inducted into the centre in order to fulfil the aspirations of GoG as well as the centre.</p>

<p><span style="color: #a51c30;"><strong>R&amp;D:</strong></span></p>
<p>GSI has identified seventeen active hot springs in Gujarat region. After a review of this data, Government of Gujarat (GoG) directed PDEU, through Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL), to conduct research and development activities on geothermal potential at these seventeen identified sites. Prefeasibility studies were conducted by PDEU, primarily through remote sensing and landsat imageries to narrow down on the potential study areas. Six sites were identified for conducting further investigation on geothermal resource potential, namely Dholera, Unai, Gandhar, Tuwa, Chabsar and Tulsishyam</p>

He discussed the importance of understanding finance for startups, understanding the problem area, and developing a solution to the pain point in order to deliver it to the customer, the revenue model, understanding &aelig;unit economics&AElig;, balance sheet and how a company can manage their assets and liabilities in the balance sheet rather than attributing them to the P&amp;L, explaining how a B2C business&AElig;s marketing is cost-headed, understanding the CAP table, and many more... Mr. Vikrant explained how one should plan ahead for projects and plans and work on them in detail keeping in mind the little elements that would help in the long run in terms of hiring, cost management, and successful results. The 4-day workshop had many such in-depth discussions on required topics and the participants found them productive and useful.</p>

<p>Under the guidance of MSME Development Institute (MSME - DI) Ahmedabad and in association with School of Liberal Studies (SLS), PDEU IIC organized a webinar on 'Sambhav'-National Level Awareness Programme (NLAP) on Entrepreneurship as a part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM) on November 23, 2021. With the developing world and evolving technology, entrepreneurship is the future and with that aim, the webinar provided the participants with a detailed description on how to pursue entrepreneurship not just as a hobby but a platform to be your own boss. In the session, Shri Piyush L. Shah and Shri Vikas Gupta briefed the participants about the schemes people can enroll in and expressed the idea of entrepreneurship being accessible to everyone. Founders of two startups incubated at IIC, Mr. Shani Pandya and Mr. Aditya Shukla shared their journey from ideation to production along with the mistakes learnt along the way. The webinar witnessed 100+ participants and received a great response from future entrepreneurs.</p>

<p>Mitigation of the adverse effect of global warming on the climate, the union Government of India has set a target of a total of 500 GW non-fossil based energy generation from renewable resources by 2030.&nbsp; The lion&rsquo;s share of the total renewable generation will be contributed by solar photovoltaic system which will be in the tune of 280 GW. In order to meet the generous target of 280 GW by 2030, India needs to establish many new solar photovoltaic modules manufacturing line. The associated requirement will be a huge number of skilled manpower to cater to the need of running and maintenance of such establishments. The university, in its unique approach, has come up with the establishment of <strong>45 MW solar PV</strong> module manufacturing line which is based on contemporary technology that will be producing 540 W<sub>p</sub> module from mono-PERC Silicon solar cell. The project has been generously supported and funded by the Government of Gujarat through GEDA. The whole line is based on standard European technology and can handle half-cut cell.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Probably PDEU will be the first academy in the world who will set up a manufacturing line for photovoltaic panels, which will give complete skill-based training for the students and staff. They will be able to be an effective supply chain for students with hands on experience. So, this is their primary goal and PDEU and its team are very happy that in other three to four months, it will be dedicated to the nation and around 1000 students will be trained in silicon photovoltaics from the campus. So, they talk about energy generation, storage, and now on transmission.</p>

<p>PDEU has successfully deployed Smart Hybrid Microgrid System comprising of grid connected 32 kW solar rooftop system, 5 kW vertical wind turbine generators and 10 kW, 100 kWhr Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB). The smart hybrid microgrid involves integration of wind and solar energy, the two Renewable Energy Sources (RES), and VRFB. The generated power from RES can be utilized to supply (i) local load (ii) charge VRFB (iii) grid power injection. An intelligent algorithm is developed for VRFB energy storage system which can effectively maximize the use of RES sources for its charging. In case of unavailability of both RES power generation and grid connection, energy storage system can successfully deliver its stored energy to the local load without any interruption. In this project, charging infrastructure for the 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler is also developed which is energized through VRFB energy storage systems.</p>

<p>The production of biodiesel at low cost and improvement in physicochemical properties of produced biodiesel are important key areas in biodiesel industry to achieve energy and environmental sustainability targets. In this regards, waste cooking oil (WCO) is among the largest available low cost feedstocks that can be easily collected from restaurants as well as from the food and beverage industry. However, it is particularly challenging to convert WCO containing certain FFA content, trace elements and acid values into biodiesel with high biodiesel yields, good oxidation stability, and favourable cold flow properties. In order to address these major issues WCO can be blended with non-edible plant oils (including castor oil which is locally available in large quantity) as well as imported waste/crude palm oils&nbsp; which improve the physicochemical properties of biodiesel (elementary proof of concept achieved). Besides the raw feedstock, the technology used for biodiesel production plays equally important role in order to get biodiesel with competitive prices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In collaboration with Shell India the present project is a pilot plant of 100 Litre capacity based on hydrodynamic Cavitation (HC) technique will be installed for a low cost biodiesel production and to improve physicochemical properties. The plant can be operated by a semi-skilled person. HC based reactors are more than five times energy efficient and there is a substantial saving in total reaction time as compared to convention methods. The post processing operations are also simplified and fast. Presently the layout of the plant, component specification, material balance are under progress.</p>
