Grid Modernization Laboratory - GML

⚡ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐬 🔌

A few days ago, our lab was delighted to welcome our young, dynamic first-semester students from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, KU, Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel (KU) 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓

They visited to get a glimpse of what we do, why we do it, and how engineering ideas turn into real systems.

✅ Our RA interns presented an overview of our ongoing Distribution Grid Monitoring and Visualization Project

✅ Real-time data is collected from 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 across different KU blocks

🌐 We also demonstrated our open-source dynamic grid visualization software, 𝐃𝐕𝐀𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐝, which updates every minute ⏱️

SEEE is excited to announce that we are back with our Discussion Series! We cordially invite you to join us for Episode 3, where we will be discussing the topic of Energy Audit: A Comparative Approach in Nepal and the USA.

Registration Link: https://forms.gle/4LBqK6AFtMB8GcYW8

Event Details:
Date: 25 August 2024, Sunday
Time: 8:30 PM (Nepal Time)
Platform: Zoom

Note: Zoom link would be provided before the event day via email.
This episode will feature Mr. Govinda Neupane as our esteemed speaker. An energy audit is a systematic process that assesses how energy is used within a building, facility, or industrial operation. The main objectives of an energy audit are to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower energy costs while maintaining or improving productivity and comfort levels. Mr. Neupane will share his insights and experiences on how energy audits are conducted in both Nepal and the USA, highlighting the similarities and differences in approaches, challenges, and outcomes.

Dr. Samundra Gurung, Lab leader of GML delivered a webinar titled "𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬" today to
