National Institute Of Ocean Technology, Chennai

Department Of EEE Organized An Industrial Visit For II, III & IV Year EEE Students To “National Institute Of Ocean Technology, Chennai”

“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”

EVENT OUTCOME:

• Students have gained a lot of exposure on The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT).
• Students achieved awareness on ttechnologies related to harnessing of ocean renewable energies namely wave energy, hydrokinetic energy and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and generating fresh water from seawater; to develop technologies for offshore structural components and establish desalination plants in the Islands of Union Territory Lakshadweep; to develop technology along with capability building for the exploration and exploitation of deep ocean mineral resources such as poly-metallic manganese nodules and hydro-thermal sulphides occurring at Central and Southern Indian Ocean and gas hydrates within Exclusive Economic Zone.
• Students were thought technical keys points on to develop acoustic systems for ocean applications such as ambient noise measurements, acoustical oceanography, underwater communication and coastal surveillance; to design and develop indigenous underwater acoustic imaging systems and allied technologies and to design and develop wide band underwater acoustic transducers and hydrophone arrays; to design, develop and demonstrate new autonomous ocean observation technologies and systems for oceanographic applications; to develop marine algal biotechnology, marine microbial biotechnology, open sea cage culture and ballast water treatment technologies.
• Students gained more technical details on to develop environmentally sustainable solutions for beach restoration and shoreline management by integrating state-of-the-art field measurements, numerical modeling studies and comprehensive detailed engineering designs; to maintain the moored ocean observation network consisting of met-ocean and tsunami buoys for real time data transmission and to support RAMA program under the Indo-US collaboration and to disseminate data to INCOIS. To develop ocean observational tools prototype technology development; to conduct operational management and maintenance of research ships and on board scientific equipment; to develop and maintain a state of the art seafront research facility to enable activities in development and testing of prototype systems, validation of indigenously developed marine systems in the ocean environment.
