INDUSTRIAL AND ELECTRONICS APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT DIVISION R&D IN ELECTRONICS GROUP

RESPONSIBILITIES To promote development and application of Electronics and Information Technology based products/systems for: Various industry and infrastructure sectors like Power, Transportation and core manufacturing industries. l l Agriculture sector l Water Resources sector

OBJECTIVES l l To contribute significantly towards enhancement of the country’s design and application capability in emerging areas of technology To create a significant pool of experienced manpower in such areas To demonstrate improvement in productivity, quality and safety by application of emerging technologies To assist the industry - particularly the SME sector by making available to them cost-effective state-of-art technologies

MAJOR TECHNOLOGIES PURSUED l l l Distribution Automation (IT in Power) Intelligent Transportation Systems (IT in Transport) Power Electronics (Wide application Spectrum) Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies including Robotics Specific Instrumentation for Steel, Textile, Mining, etc. Generic technologies: SCADA/DCS/EMS/Sensors (Wide application Spectrum)

METHODOLOGY FOLLOWED l l l Project formulation - Proposals evolved by the Division through continuous interaction with industry, users, academic and R&D institutes Project Implementation - DIT’s own societies C-DAC, SAMEER. - National laboratories, namely, CSIR, CPRI, etc. - Academic institutions like IITs, IISc and other technical institutes User participation is ensured in field demonstration projects

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS - MAJOR EXAMPLES l l Distribution Automation System in Trivandrum City 5 substations, 120 remote locations and the Central Control Station automated and integrated through H/W and S/W developed by C-DAC(T). Dedicated UHF communication link allows on-line monitoring and remote control of the distribution network. Worked jointly with the KSEB. Automation of the Teesta Hydel Stations Retrofitting of the three stations through H/W and S/W developed by C-DAC(T) enables the user (WBSEB) to monitor and control these remote stations from a central place round the clock

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS (contd…) l l Urban Traffic Control System Basic Controller H/W and application S/W developed and tested at Trivandrum and Pune Advanced Traffic Control System Based on above technology, further upgraded system has now been implemented with 38 junctions and a Central Control Station in Pune City. Online vehicle detection allows optimum signal timings and smooth control of traffic. Implemented by C-DAC(T) with active support by Pune Municipal Corporation

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS (contd…) l Custom Power Technology Essentially a complex electronics H/W system to improve quality of electric power. The first successful development in the country of this high power system by C-DAC(T) is operational at Peekay Steels, Calicut l Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) A High-end application of Power Electronics technology to enhance transmission capability of existing AC lines by 30 -40%. This first development project has been implemented by BHEL on the Kanpur-Ballabhgarh 400 KV AC Line.

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS (contd…) l l Web. NC Project A complex engineering software developed at IIT-Bombay. Attempts collaborative design and CNC machining using the Internet - a firm step towards Telemanufacturing. Possibility of a good S/W product. National Mission on Power Electronics Technology An on-going Rs. 25 crores project under collaborative arrangement with C-DAC(T) as Nodal agency and 6 academic institutes, 5 industries as partners. R&D infrastructure upgradation at Nodal Centre and institutes nearing completion. Several futuristic technology development projects have been initiated and results have started coming. Short-term courses/ workshops being held regularly.
