🚀 Exciting Announcement FEE is delighted to announce that our faculty project, "Swarm DC Grid for Rural Electrification in Topi Region, Pakistan," has been awarded a grant of $8,500 (approx. PKR 2.3 million) by the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS), an EPICS in IEEE Partner! 🌍⚡ Our Mission: The project aim to create a scalable, efficient DC-nano grid that delivers reliable and affordable electricity to rural communities in Topi. This innovative initiative harnesses solar power, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and DC-nano grids (DCNGs), all designed for future expansion and seamless integration. The goal of this project is to establish a Swarm DC Grid that connects individual grids for optimized energy sharing and utilization. 🌞🔋 Community First: At the core of this project is the commitment by Faculty of Electrical Engineering at GIKI to community engagement. We will train and empower local residents in deployment, expansion, and maintenance, ensuring long-term access to sustainable energy while promoting local ownership and accountability. Collaborations with local institutions and the Takal Welfare Organization (TWO) are vital to this mission. Meet the Team Behind the Vision: Dr. Ammar Arshad (Project Lead) Dr. Attique Ur Rehman (Project Co-Lead & Focal Person) Dr. Arbab Abdur Rahim (Project Co-Lead) Dr. Hadeed Ahmed Sher (Project Co-Lead) 🌱 In the next 12 months, the team aims to set a benchmark for sustainable rural electrification, creating new opportunities for economic growth, education, and improved well-being in the Topi region. #EPICS #IEEEIAS #FEEGIKI

Faculty of Electrical Engineering GIKI faculty member Dr. Hadeed Ahmed Sher in collaboration with, Qassim University , and Politecnico di Torino has published a paper "A Single Sensor based Detection Mechanism for L-L/L-G faults of PV array" in IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement . The paper can be accessed using the following link https://lnkd.in/enc6DK8v Summary of the paper : A single sensor-based fault detection mechanism (FDM) for detecting line-to-line (L-L) and line-to-ground (L-G) faults in a PV array is presented. The hardware setup includes a DC-bus, capacitor-diode pair for each string, and a single current sensor. The proposed FDM offers several key advantages: it detects faults at the string level within milliseconds, preventing fire hazards; it automatically disconnects faulty strings using a passive RC network; and it is cost-effective, requiring minimal active components and a simple algorithm. The paper provides a detailed analysis and validation through computer simulations and practical experiments, demonstrating the FDM's accuracy and reliability in various fault scenarios. #FEEResearch #FEEGIKI
