TIME: 4 PM to 6 PM
VENUE: E-102, PDPU CAMPUS

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

How stuff is a series of lectures kept in order to explain the basics of

the working and analysis of various electrical devices and concepts.
How Stuff Works 2.0 focuses on how power generates in various
power plants, how it transmits and how distribution take place and
role of the grids and smart grids. It focused not only on the basics of
the transmission but also focused on the problems which India faces
now-a-days with the references to a many data in a segment of
transmission and distribution. It also focused how we overcome the
losses and other problems by using smart grid.
EVENT MOTIVE:
The main aim of the event was to make the students aware of the
basics of the power generation, transmission and the distribution.
The main idea was to create a chain or series of lectures that could
initiate an essence of dealing with technical details regarding smart
grids. The event was kept because smart grids are important to
students in their professional life and it is upcoming technology
coming in India in power segment.
