Industrial Visit to Teesta Canal Fall Hydel Project

WE hear and WE forget
WE see and WE remember
WE do and WE understand

The Department of Electronics of The Bhawanipur Education Society College organised an Industrial Visit to Teesta Canal Fall Hydel Project on 24th March 2023. The objective behind such a visit was to match theoretical knowledge of the students with the real working environment.

After reaching the place the event started around 11 AM. The incharge supervisor of the hydel project gave a detailed tour of the Teesta Canal Fall Hydel Project, which is erected in the Teesta Canal of West Bengal in India. The total installed capacity of the power plant is 67.5 MW. The total number of turbines in the power house is nine and capacity per turbine is 7.5 MW. The unit size of the plant is 67.5 MW having nine units of 7.5 MW each. There are nine units in the plant and all are commissioned. This power project is owned by the West Bengal State Government and the operator of the plant is West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL).

Students of the department got exposed to the real application of industry machinery. They got the knowledge and picture of working departments in the real configuration which is difficult to imagine in theory classes. Students understood the connection between semiconductor devices and circuits, power electronics, different types of instruments, total control systems of the aforementioned project and its working procedure.

The event concluded around 3 PM. The department of Electronics is very much hopeful that this visit will bring a dimension to students’ education, which they cannot gain in the classroom as well as will help them to make connections between the different aspects of their educational experience.
