Course objectives:
(1)Along with prescribed hours of teaching –learning process, provide opportunity to perform the experiments/programmes at their own time, at their own pace, at any place as per their convenience and repeat any number of times to understand the concept.
(2) Provide unhindered access to perform whenever the students wish.
(3) Vary different parameters to study the behaviour of the circuit without the risk of damaging equipment / device or injuring themselves.
(4) To carryout Energy Audit for an industry, business establishment, organization and its computation using Scilab Software and proposing possible remedial measures to reduce the energy consumption.
Students shall select real time project/audit with the approval of the guide. The following shall be considered by the students and guide while auditing.
(1) Building and Utility Data Analysis:
The main purpose of this step is to evaluate the characteristics of the energy systems and the patterns of energy use for the premises considered. The premises characteristics can be collected from the architectural/ mechanical/electrical drawings and/or from consultation/discussions with premises operators. The energy use patterns can be obtained from a compilation of utility bills over a period.
(2) Walk-Through Survey:
This step should identify potential energy savings measures. The results of this step are important since they determine if the building warrants any further energy auditing work. Some of the tasks involved in this step are
(3)Baseline for Building Energy Use:
The main purpose of this step is to develop a base-case model that represents the existing energy use and operating conditions for the building. This model will be used as a reference to estimate the energy savings due to appropriately selected energy conservation measures.
Evaluation of Energy-Saving Measures:
In this step, a list of cost-effective energy conservation measures is determined using both energy savings and economic analysis.
Course outcomes (Course Skill Set):
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
(1)To analyze the data collected for energy audit of a building or industry or organization.
(2)To perform comparative analysis with and without energy audit.
(3)To analyze the energy saving measures to be considered with economy considerations.
(4)Analyse in a systematic way, think better, and perform better.
Based on the ability/abilities of the student/s and recommendations of the mentor, a single discipline or a multidisciplinary project under ability enhancement can be assigned to an individual student or to a group having not more than 4 students.
Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
CIE procedure for project ability enhancement course:
(i) Single discipline:
The CIE marks shall be awarded by a committee consisting of the Head of the concerned Department and two senior faculty members of the Department, one of whom shall be the Guide. The CIE marks awarded for the project work, shall be based on the evaluation of project report, project presentation skill and question and answer session in the ratio 50:25:25.The marks awarded for the project report shall be the same for all the batch mates.
(ii) Interdisciplinary:
Continuous Internal Evaluation shall be group wise at the college level with the participation of all the guides of the college. The CIE marks awarded for the project, shall be based on the evaluation of project report, project presentation skill and question and answer session in the ratio 50:25:25.The marks awarded for the project report shall be the same for all the batch mates.
SEE for project:
(i) Single discipline:
Contribution to the Mini-project and the performance of each group member shall be assessed individually in the semester end examination (SEE) conducted at the department.
(ii) Interdisciplinary:
Contribution to the Mini-project and the performance of each group member shall be assessed individually in semester end examination (SEE) conducted separately at the departments to which the student/s belong to.
The SEE marks awarded for the project, shall be based on the evaluation of project report, project presentation skill and question and answer session in the ratio 50:25:25.The marks awarded for the project report shall be the same for all the batch mates.
