THDC Institute of Hydro Power Engineering and Technology

The Faculty Development Programme (FDP) aims to provide faculty members, research scholars and PG students with a comprehensive understanding of electric vehicle (EV) systems with a special focus on their application in hilly and mountainous terrains. Electric mobility is rapidly emerging as a key solution for sustainable transportation. However, deployment in hilly regions poses unique challenges such as steep gradients, high energy consumption, battery performance issues under varying climatic conditions, and limited charging infrastructure. This FDP aims to address these challenges by exploring advanced design methodologies, energy-efficient control strategies, and innovative energy storage solutions. This FDP is designed to address these pressing issues by exploring innovative technologies and emerging trends in electric vehicle and energy storage system. Through expert lectures, case studies, and hands-on sessions, participants will gain valuable insights into the practical challenges and opportunities in the clean energy sector. By fostering interdisciplinary learning and collaboration, this FDP is intended for faculty members, researchers, and industry professionals who seek to enhance their knowledge and skills in electric mobility, with a focus on sustainable and region-specific solutions. The program also aims to promote research and innovation in EV technologies tailored for remote and geographically challenging areas.
