VARANASI: How about installing a solar panel in the house to tap solar energy or driving an energy-efficient hybrid car? While a number of papers on technological innovations in electrical and electronics engineering have gained attention in Prastuti-2010, a number of engineering students have also come up with eco-friendly renewable energy technologies and pollution-free sustainable development solutions to tackle burning issue of climate change, on Saturday.
“More than one-third of energy requirement in the country is met from fuel sources that add to environment pollution and tapping solar energy could be an eco-friendly alternative to the problem,” said Anchit Darvekar of Institute of Technology (IT), Banaras Hindu University, who along with Vikas Pandey, another IT student have come up with design of solar energy based power system during the event. “In our paper, we have suggested a design of solar energy based Indian city or town. We believe that power requirements in small home can be met by introducing solar panel set in individual houses while solar thermal power plants would be needed to meet heavy power load requirements for the cities or townships,” said Pandey.
