Vishweshwaraya Collegiate Project Design Competition 2017-Concluded

 

This project design competition encourages the young engineers to apply their imagination, enthusiasm, critical thinking and creativity to technology innovations that can contribute to the nation building.

The objective of the competition is to provide detailed engineering design specifications in any area of engineering which can positively impact on Electrical Energy Generation, Transmission Systems and Distribution Systems. The scope of competition covers all aspects of electrical engineering which include (but not limited to) Power systems, Electrical Machines, Instrumentation and control, Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution, Power Electronics, Power Quality & Economics, Renewable Energy, Electric Traction, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Engineering Materials, High Voltage Insulation Technologies, Protection, Power System Analysis, SCADA, Signal Processing and Electrical Measurements.

 The project should be cost effective and should be attractive to the end user

• The project should be realizable within a reasonable time.
• The project should be field implementable.
• The project idea must achieve its goal with minimum undesirable impact on environment
