MANIT authorities can now actually keep a real time tab about the efficiency and power generation from the solar power plant set up in the campus. With an objective of making better use of solar power plants on the campus, the energy department of MANIT recently launched ‘remote monitoring’ of the newly installed solar power plant.
“This is for the first time that monitoring of solar power plant has been started on the campus. The objective is to understand the power generation and consumption,” head of the energy department, said professor Saroj Rangnekar, who can now monitor the solar power plant from remote locations as it is connected through internet facility.
She said it would enable the institute to install more power plants on the campus.”
Newly installed solar power plant is of 5KW capacity. “Installation of power plant is part of the green campus drive in the MANIT. More solar power plants will be installed after the study of results from the new power plant,” professor Rangnekar said.
