mul disciplinary professional body that encompasses 15
engineering disciplines and gives engineers a global
pla orm to share professional interest. IEI has membership
strength of more than 0.8 million. Established in 1920, with
headquarters at Kolkata, IEI has served the engineering
fraternity for over nine decades. In this period of me it has
been inextricably linked with the history of modern-day
engineering.
In 1935, IEI was incorporated by Royal Charter and remains

About Vishwakarma Government Engineering College
Vishwakarma Government Engineering College,
Chandkheda, Ahmedabad was established in August 1994,
with an objec ve of impar ng higher educa on in various
fields of engineering and technology. This ins tute is
recognized by AICTE, New Delhi & Ins tute of Engineers
(India). The college is administrated by Directorate of
Technical Educa on, Gujarat State, Gandhinagar and is

OBJECTIVE
Solar & wind are drivers of the renewable energy market,
represen ng 56 & 38% respec vely of global renewable
investment in 2015. Solar power (photovoltaic & thermal) is · Control Techniques for RES
the fastest growing renewable energy technology, with · Grid Interac ve Systems Used in Hybrid RES
2015 investment increasing by 12% over the previous year. · Performance Analysis of RES
Wind-related investment grew at a more modest rate, · Decision Support Systems for RES
registering 4% year-on-year growth. These investments are · Smart grids and Renewable Energy sources
yielding large increases in renewable energy capacity 4. Reliability & Maintenance in RE sources
worldwide. Installed renewable capacity approached 2
5. Some Important aspects related to RE
million MW in 2015, nearly double the level of 2006.
· Safety and Security of RE sources
Hydropower represents the largest share (61.3%) of
· Policies, Strategies for RES
renewable energy capacity, well surpassing the por ons of
· Public Awareness & Educa on for RE and Systems
wind (21.9%), solar (11.5%) & bioenergy (5.3%).
The seminar is therefore very much essen al for · Future Challenges and Direc ons for RE sources
