M.Tech. Power Electronics
Power Electronics deals with the application of solid state electronics for control and conversion of electric power from a few watts to several mega-watts. The characteristics of the devices used for control and conversion are continuously improved and often new devices are added.The application areas include wide spectrum such as electric motor control, AC&DC power supplies, power quality improvement, HVDC and FACTS devices etc.
The objectives of the post graduate course on Power Electronics is to introduce the student to various types of power electronic devices and control of electric power using these devices. The program is structured to cover the fundamentals, application areas through a set of core subjects and electives which the students can select based on their interest followed by a project work. In the project work, the students are encouraged to work on specific application areas involving design, simulation, fabrication and testing of any power electronics system having industrial applications.
M.Tech. Embeded Systems
Almost all Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical systems are now controlled by a controller which is embedded as a part of the complete system. Such a system is called an Embedded System. Examples are tele-communication systems, chemical processing plants, transportation systems such as aircrafts and automobiles, bio-medical instruments and home appliances like microwave ovens and washing machines. The characteristics of embedded systems are that they are designed to do some specific tasks often in real time satisfying certain performance requirements. It is achieved through the controllers and software called firmware stored in Read Only Memory of the controller.
The vast majority of control systems built today are embedded, that is, they relay on built in special purpose microcontrollers (digital computers) to close their feed back loops. Some systems may contain large number of controllers .In such settings, controllers often use shared networks to communicate with each other and with a large number of sensors and actuators scattered throughout the system. The design of embedded controllers and the intricate, automated communication networks that support them raises many new problems- theoretical and practical-about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems and ways to maximize the effectiveness of the embedded hardware. This course will address many such questions and aspects of embedded and networked control.
Post Graduate Diploma in Wind Power Development (PGDWPD)
Need & Objective of the Programme: Indian wind power industry needs engineers/managers capable of planning and developing wind power projects. Academic exposures to wind power utilization methods, resource assessment, techno-economic feasibility study, modeling techniques, etc. are the components devised for this capacity building.
Potential for the Out-going Students: This PGD will serve as a significant value addition to basic engineering degrees making the graduates fit for direct employment with windfarm developers, wind mill/generator manufacturers, government and non-government agencies working in energy sector etc. Placement of the out-going students is assured by Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA).
Eligibility for Admission: Graduate in Electrical/ Electrical & Electronics /Electronics/ Electronics & Communication/ Mechanical/ Production/ Instrumentation Engineering.
Duration of the Programme: 2 Semesters
Course Fee: No course/tuition fee is applicable as the programme is funded by Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET), Chennai, under Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), New Delhi.

Post Graduate Diploma in Wind Resource Assessment (PGDWRA)
Need & Objective of the Programme: This programme puts emphasis on wind regime analysis and wind resource assessment. Wind industry today needs quite a lot wind analysts both for planning and development of windfarms in India as well as abroad. Being a specialized area different from general engineering only Masters Degree in Science subjects has been identified as the qualification for intake.
Potential for the Out-going Students: Training on related software packages is included in the curriculum. There is a high demand for wind analysts globally and nationally today. Placement of the out-going students is assured by IWTMA (Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association).
Eligibility for Admission: GGraduate in Electrical/ Electrical & Electronics /Electronics/ Electronics & Communication/ Mechanical/ Production/ Instrumentation Engineering or Graduate in MSc in Physics, Mathematics or statistics.
Duration of the Programme: 2 Semesters
