 AIMS, GOALS AND FUTURE PLANS

We are a group of students

interested in applied
photovoltaic field. We aim
General Aims to be a Centre of expertise in
energy research.

*Prepare 5 research papers.

Goals for Reporting
*Prepare at least 1 paper for
Year foreign conference

*Run regular workshop on

PV-weekly
*Run regular presentation
session for research update-
Plans for monthly
Upcoming Year *Review at least 5 research
papers per group - monthly
* Prepare at least 5 research
paper for conference
 NOTABLE ACTIVITIES

 Searched new research topic

 Collected some costly sensors
 Successfully presented 2 research papers in foreign
conferences (EU PVSC & ICIEV)
 Submitted at least 4 papers in 2019 ICEPE

FINANCIAL REPORT
This research group works independently. So far we have
spent around 30 thousand taka roughly in different sectors.
1. PV Module= 8 K
2. Anemometer= 6 K
3. Sensors= 4 K
4. Set up stand= 4 K
5. Arduino= 3 K
6. Electric fan, multimeter, electronic equipments and
others= 5 K
 ONGOING WORKS
1. Infrared thermography – Target conference IEEE PVSC
2. Outdoor condition performance monitor- Data
collection starts soon
3. Dust analysis- Data collection starts soon
