Projects

Capstone Project (Conestoga College): - The project highlights the planning and construction of a smart microgrid system for Visavada village in Porbandar, Gujarat, India, to give 787 families a dependable and sustainable 1MW power supply. By combining fuel cell, wind, and solar energy sources, the microgrid greatly reduces reliance on the grid and improves energy reliability. The project offers significant social, environmental, and economic advantages while proving that electrifying rural areas with renewable energy is feasible. Future suggestions center on increasing the microgrid's capacity and adding cutting-edge technologies to increase efficiency.


Boost Converter(CHARUSAT University): - The project overviews a boost converter is a type of DC-DC converter that preserves the same polarity while raising the input voltage to a higher output voltage. It works by using an inductor to store energy when a switch is closed and releasing it when the switch is open. The output is directed and smoothed by a diode and capacitor. The duty cycle of the switch can be changed to alter the output voltage. Electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and battery-powered gadgets all frequently employ this converter.


Bluetooth Controlled Car(CHARUSAT University): - The project shows how wireless connection and independent characteristics are combined in the Bluetooth Controlled Car project, which uses an Arduino chip and sensors. Using a smartphone with infrared (IR) and ultrasonic sensors to identify obstructions, the car is operated by Bluetooth to prevent collisions. This project is a great method to learn about robotics and embedded systems because it combines motor control, sensor data processing, and microcontroller programming.


Additional Qualifications

  • Expertise with operating systems and the Microsoft Office suite.
  • Skillful with power tools, such as drills and saws, and knows how to use them safely.
  • Fundamental knowledge of woodworking and metalworking processes.
