Bimal K Bose writes in the research paper titled “ Energy, Environment and Advances in Power
Electronics”, published in the IEEE transactions on Power Electronics in July 2000,

“Power Electronics has now firmly established its importance as indispensable tool in industrial
process applications after decades of technological evolution. Fortunately, we are now living in
an era of industrial renaissance when not only power electronics but also computers,
communications, information, and transportation technologies are advancing rapidly. In the
highly automated industrial environment struggling for high quality products with low cost, it
appears that two technologies will be most dominating: computers and power electronics with
motion control.”

Interestingly, technologies like computers, communications, information and

transportation that are dominating the sphere of research worldwide, are operationally inadequate
without power electronics. From ensuring regulated power supplies for industrial, medical and
research equipment, to enhancing the quality of power delivered on the consumer end, power
electronics has become a truly irreplaceable technology. Equipments ranging from domestic
appliances to industrial and commercial tools, are directly or indirectly dependent on power
electronics. Moreover, as concerns for cleaner and renewable alternatives of energy are being
raised world over, it is again power electronics that has bridged the gap between otherwise
unreliable and intermittent renewable sources of energy and their reliable use in the existing
electricity network.

Most research activities in the core disciplines of electrical engineering, such as

electrical machines and drives, power systems and renewable energy are heavily dependent on
power semi-conductor technology, hence making inevitable use of power electronics. Owing to
rapid advances in power electronics and the vast scope of this field in almost all disciplines of
electrical engineering, almost all leading technical universities in the world offer at least one
masters and research programme in this field. The department of electrical engineering at NIT
Srinagar, could not start a PG programme in power electronics earlier, owing to shortage of
faculty. However, with the appointment of seven new faculty members, the department is now
academically well-equipped to start an M.Tech programme in Power Electronics and Electric
Drives.

Electrical drive technology converts electrical energy from the power supply system or
from a battery into mechanical energy and transmits the resulting force into motion. Many
applications that make our daily lives easier – like lifts, escalators, gate drives, washing
machines, mixers, electric razors, etc. – would be unthinkable without electric drives. We can
find them in both the megawatt sector in applications such as locomotives and in the microwatt
sector, in wristwatches, for instance. Electrical drive technology is also crucial in industrial
production, where it plays a key role in machines and plants for production and logistics
processes. All in all, we can assume that electrical drive technology consumes the predominant
share of our overall electrical energy. The technology is closely associated with power
electronics in its operation and control, hence serving as one of the primary applications of
power electronics. Both disciplines, viz. power electronics and electric drives, are often studied
together under the flagship name of power electronics and electric drives, with the former
finding its primary application in the latter.

The Department of Electrical Engineering at National Institute of Technology Srinagar,

was one of the first departments of the erstwhile Regional Engineering College (REC) Srinagar.
It was established in the year 1960 and is among the oldest departments in the institute. The
department runs one undergraduate programme leading to a bachelor's of technology (B. Tech)
degree in electrical engineering, one post-graduate programme leading to a master's of
technology (M. Tech) degree in electrical power and energy systems. The department also runs
PhD programmes with specializations in power systems, power electronics and control &
automation. The faculty constantly engage in research apart from teaching and regularly publish
in top international journals and conferences. There are ten laboratories in the department
catering to the needs of the students.

It has been experienced over the years that Post graduate programmes herald institutions
into the field of research and development (R&D). The faculty also grows with research and with
other related activities. With experienced and distinguished faculty having a sound research
background, the department aspires to float a second post-graduate programme in Power
Electronics and Electric Drives (PEED). It is pertinent to mention here that the expertise of our
highly qualified faculty can be fully utilized through masters and research programmes likes
these, which is not possible at the undergraduate level.

Further new technical Institutions are coming up everywhere. There is a great demand for
technical teachers. Our Department can supply study stream of well-qualified teaching
professionals to cater to the needs of the upcoming Institutions. Moreover, postgraduates are now
preferred in the Private and Public sector because of their in-depth and specialized knowledge.
