The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) has launched two state-of-the-art centres of excellence dedicated to green hydrogen and electric vehicles (EVs), positioning itself at the forefront of clean energy research and education in India, TNN reports.
The institute has successfully deployed a smart renewable energy-based management system that integrates solar and wind power to produce green hydrogen on campus. Currently, IET generates 4 kilowatts of electricity through these renewable sources, powering the hydrogen production system.
“At IET, we have set up a smart RE-based energy management system along with a green hydrogen centre,” said IET Director Prof Vineet Kansal. “It is an experimental and research platform designed to study the real-world dynamics of a smart grid integrated with multiple renewable sources and advanced green hydrogen technologies.”
Prof Arun Kumar Tiwari, who oversees the two centres, added, “This system is an ideal hands-on platform for students, researchers, and professionals to explore renewable energy integration, hydrogen energy cycles, and smart grid operations in a safe, controlled lab environment.”
In addition to its hydrogen initiative, IET has also launched a modern electric vehicle lab. The modular platform supports advanced research, training, and experimentation in EV technology. From battery systems and propulsion units to charging infrastructure, the lab offers students and researchers opportunities to study the full spectrum of electric mobility solutions.
These centres of excellence aim to bridge academia and industry by promoting innovation, skill development, and real-world experimentation in two of the most critical areas of sustainable transportation and energy.
