In addition, he discussed various emerging technologies such as Solar Edge technology, Perovskites, Tandem Solar, Flow Batteries, and Green Hydrogen. Solar Edge technology, for instance, was highlighted for its advancements in optimizing solar panel performance and improving overall system efficiency. He also discussed Flow Batteries as a promising energy storage solution, capable of storing large amounts of renewable energy for later use, contributing to grid stability and reliability.
Overall, his discussion on these emerging technologies underscored the ongoing advancement and innovation within the renewable energy sector, offering promising solutions to address the world's energy needs while mitigating environmental impact.
The second speaker, Yadnesh Sanzgiry, head of engineering and project management office- Antares Vision India Exellence Pvt. Ltd., gave a talk on, Industry 4.0 and its impact on Engineering students. The speaker commenced by explaining the path from Digitalization to Industry 4.0. Following that, the speaker delved into the intricacies of data collection protocols, which encompassed communication protocols and platform requirements. He then provided a comprehensive exploration of the advantages brought forth by Industry 4.0.
He proceeded to provide the students with a briefing on the introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI). He wrapped up the session by presenting the skill framework pertinent to Industry 4.0.
Establishing an Institute Industry Cell in 2017 was a strategic move aimed at fostering a symbiotic relationship between academia and industry. The primary objectives were to facilitate ongoing interaction, bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, and align educational curricula with industry demands. Tech talks - edging towards a connected future, was an initiative started by our college in the year 2022, so that students are abreast with cutting edge technology thereby empowering them to stay updated and competitive in the field.
Both the sessions proved highly informative, with students gaining a wealth of knowledge on the subject matter. The Event coordinators were Professors Flavia Leitao and Samantha Cardoso.
