RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS - MAJOR EXAMPLES

• Distribution Automation System in Trivandrum City
• 5 substations, 120 remote locations and the
  Central Control Station automated and integrated
  through H/W and S/W developed by C-DAC(T).
  Dedicated UHF communication link allows on-line
  monitoring and remote control of the distribution
  network. Worked jointly with the KSEB.
• Automation of the Teesta Hydel Stations
• Retrofitting of the three stations through
  H/W and S/W developed by C-DAC(T) enables the
  user (WBSEB) to monitor and control these remote
  stations from a central place round the clock

7
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS (contd)

• Urban Traffic Control System
• Basic Controller H/W and application S/W
  developed and tested at Trivandrum and Pune
• Advanced Traffic Control System
• Based on above technology, further upgraded
  system has now been implemented with 38 junctions
  and a Central Control Station in Pune City.Online
  vehicle detection allows optimum signal timings
  and smooth control of traffic. Implemented by
  C-DAC(T) with active support by Pune Municipal
  Corporation

8
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS (contd)

• Custom Power Technology
• Essentially a complex electronics H/W system
  to improve quality of electric power. The first
  successful development in the country of this
  high power system by C-DAC(T) is operational at
  Peekay Steels, Calicut
• Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS)
• A High-end application of Power Electronics
  technology to enhance transmission capability of
  existing AC lines by 30-40. This first
  development project has been implemented by BHEL
  on the Kanpur-Ballabhgarh 400 KV AC Line.

9
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS (contd)

• WebNC Project
• A complex engineering software developed at
  IIT-Bombay . Attempts collaborative design and
  CNC machining using the Internet - a firm step
  towards Telemanufacturing. Possibility of a good
  S/W product.
• National Mission on Power Electronics Technology
• An on-going Rs.25 crores project under
  collaborative arrangement with C-DAC(T) as Nodal
  agency and 6 academic institutes, 5 industries as
  partners. RD infrastructure upgradation at Nodal
  Centre and institutes nearing completion. Several
  futuristic technology development projects have
  been initiated and results have started coming.
  Short-term courses/ workshops being held
  regularly.
