Baral Chair Professor\, Indian Institute of Engineering\, Science and Technology Shibpur. Prof. Saha is visiting IIT Mandi on 17th August 2018 to deliver Innovation Lecture on "Ïnnovation on Power Generation from Solar and Biowaste". The lecture is organized at ro om no. A1-NKN\, IIT Mandi on August 17\, 2018 at 1700 hrs. The abstract of the talk and a brief biography of Prof. Saha is attached herewith for you r kind consideration. I am sure his inspiring words on innovation will def initely create a spark in the young minds and nurture their creative facul ties towards engineering innovation. Refreshments will be served after the talk.\nSee you all then.\n\nAbsstract:\n\nEnsuring energy security by pro viding 24x7 electricity to rural and semi-urban sector is a major challeng e in India and similar countries. Use of Distributed Energy Resources ( DE R) utilising Renewable energy resources like Solar\, Biomass\, Wind etc in an integrated manner through a Microgrid Unit can in principle solve this problem. However interfacing the Microgrid with the existing utility and proper management and operation of this system is a major challenge at pre sent. A small prototype of the proposed Microgrid comprising of Solar\, Wi nd and Biomass generator has been designed and installed in the IIEST camp us and has been running for about two years. The Biomass generator utilise s the entire kitchen waste and table waste inside the IIEST campus\, thus keeping the campus clean and delivering green energy from the Biowaste. A Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) is integrated in the Microgrid unit to ensure 24x7 energy security and availability of quality power on demand. S uitable Battery Management System for its integration with the Microgrid V RFB has also been designed and implemented.\n\nBrief Bio:\n\nProf . Hiranm ay Saha \, born on January 4\, 1946 \, has been teaching and doing researc h for the last 50 years first in Kalyani University \, then in Jadavpur Un iversity and finally in BESU( currently IIEST). Currently he is a Chair Pr ofessor and coordinator in the Centre of Excellence for Green Energy and S ensor Systems\, in IIEST\, Shibpur.\n\n.\n\nHis research interests are in solar cells and solar PV systems\, porous silicon\, gas and vapour sensors including MEMS and VLSI design. His Phd work submitted in 1975 was on Sol ar Cells and Systems. He has established one of the country’s first sola r powered community TV centre at the village Charasarati near Kalyani Univ ersity in 1978. He has also designed and helped implementation by OREDA of India’s one of the first Solar PV Power Plant ( 26 kWp) in 1988 at Lull ung\, Simplipal Forest in Orissa. Recently he has designed and helped impl ementation of the 500 KWp canal top Solar PV power plant at the EKO Park\, NewTown\, NKDA\, Kolkata. He has also played a key role in developing the concept and specifications of solar lantern and its central charging stat ion ( Indian patent).He has established a state of art lab for the fabrica tion and characterization of c-Si and a-Si solar cells and also on Solar P V systems at CEGESS\, IIEST as the Principal Investigator of two major R&D Projects sponsored by DST and MNRE\, GOI. He has also established a Smart Micro Grid Centre comprising of Solar\, Wind and Biogas Generators and VR FB Battery System which was inauguratdby the President of India. He has pu blished more than 300 papers in international and national journals and co nferences\, supervised the PhD thesis of 25 students\, contributed chapter s in research monograms on solar cell\, sensor and PV systems. He holds 12 patents . He has received the prestigious PVSEC award for his outstanding contribution in Solar Photovoltaic systems.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CH10219 - Delhi Section Jt.
