Green Power Lab & Technology Transfer Centre

A Green Power Lab has been setup at CDAC, Technopark building, Trivandrum and a Technology Transfer Centre ( TTC ) has been setup at CDAC, Main Campus, Trivandrum, as part Infrastructure Development project under NaMPET, Phase 2.

 

 

The following test / demonstration set up required for the development in the Renewable energy area & Smart grid components and Real time Simulation are installed at the Green Power Lab.
 

• 25 KW Solar Power Plant
• 5 KW Wind Power Plant
• Simulation Lab
• Test set up for conducing EMI / EMC pre-compliance tests
• Environmental Test Chamber (Thermal & Humidity)
Green Power Lab
 

 

The following facilities are installed in the Technology Transfer Centre ( TTC ). The testing of the Proto types and training for the Technology Transferred to Industries from the Power Electronics Group of CDAC, Trivandrum will be carried out in TTC.
 
Simulation Packages
