The National Physical Laboratory of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is celebrating the One Week One Theme Program on Energy & Energy Devices.
National Physical Laboratory: In order to highlight translatable research that results in marketable or value-added technologies or products, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is hosting weeklong events on One Week One Theme (OWOT) in eight different themes across its 37 laboratories. Additionally, by improving interactions and connecting with stakeholders, OWOT will facilitate easy technology licensing. The focus of the targeted theme “Energy and Energy Devices (EED)” in New Delhi from June 24-28, 2024, is on innovative, sustainable, conventional, and non-conventional techniques to energy generation and storage.
In keeping with the OWOT: EED program, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) -National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL) is also planning a two-day event for June 26 and 27, 2024. The event will showcase the organization’s technical prowess and accomplishments in the areas of photovoltaic metrology, flexible solar cells (Silicon & Perovskite), energy gas (hydrogen & alternative fuels) metrology, and agricultural waste to biocoal. It will include industry meetings, expert presentations, demonstrations of working facilities, and laboratory visits.
An overview of the energy-based technology-driven research conducted by CSIR-NPL was provided by the event’s convener, Dr. Sushil Kumar. He also discussed the CSIR-NPL’s OWOT:EED program on energy and energy devices. The officiating director of CSIR-NPL, Dr. S.R. Dhakate, stressed the value of renewable energy and its ability to stop global warming. He specifically mentioned solar, biomass, and hydrogen technology. He clarified CSIR-NPL’s role in solar energy and the technology for turning biomass into biocoal. He also stated that, over the next two to three months, CSIR-NPL will offer primary reference solar cell calibration services, and he invited the solar industry to take advantage of them. About 80 students from different institutions and 40 members of the PV sector took part in the event. On June 27, 2024, there will be a discussion on green energy, gas, biomass, and biocoal.
