CONTENTS . How Energy island could power the future?

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs but not every man’s
greed. This is happening in our modern world. We use energy faster than it being
produced. The most utilized sources like coal, oil, natural gases take thousands of

years for formation. So we have limited energy sources to light up the nation. It is

Cornucopia these, the major problem of large energy production is that of pollution. When we

So we must adopt new techniques for energy production which does not

The energy island is an artificial island at sea. It is like a dam or

through the wind turbine. One of the great uncertainity in this concept is that the

The main energy production in the island is through the wind turbines.
The island is surrounded by these wind turbines. During the o ff time , there will
be surplus of energy. This surplus energy is not wasted and it is used for pumping
out the water from the reservoir to the outside, i.e. the sea. This will increase
storage capability during peak time. So there will be a level difference in the
reservoir and the sea. This level difference will give an head for the production of
energy through hydro turbines. During peak time the water from the outside i.e. Impossible- you might say- but you would wrong. The Dutch architecture

The best is yet to come….. Let’s switch over to KTU….

Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam Technological University (initially
Kerala Technological University) is a university established
by the government of Kerala. The objective of the University
is to coordinate, supervise, regulate, guide and provide
leadership in all aspects of technological and engineering
education and research in Kerala State.
The university has its headquarters
at Thiruvananthapuram and its jurisdictional authority
extends to the whole state of Kerala . The university has
been established both as a teaching and affiliation
university. The Kerala government named the
Technological University in honor of former president APJ
Abdul Kalam.“Kerala be the first state honoring Dr Kalam,
by naming the Technological University as APJ Abdul Kalam
Technological University
While Questioning the need for such a university, it was
rightly observed that when there are 133 colleges in the
self-financing colleges in the state, there are only nine
Government and 3 aided colleges in the field of engineering.
So a university was inevitable for the improvement of the
basic infrastructural and academic standards of technical
education in the state. Moreover, it would also help in
getting financial assistance from the Central scheme and
also from outs..The major changes can be summarized as:
Practical side of engineering educational system will be
given prime importance to foster the real talent of a
student. Also the university suggest a shift from the existing
‘descriptive’ and ‘explanatory’ pattern of questions to
objective type format….

Technology is advancing minute by minute and this
momentum should be reflected in the present day
syllabus. KTU mission is to run a syllabus which is at
part with the Global Technological needs and all
relevant suggestions regarding the same received from
the experts shall be implemented. Kerala Technological
University (KTU) has urged the experts in the field to
come up with innovative proposals on how to revamp
the existing system.
Every college contains an auditing cell to monitor the
quality of teaching and all other activities.
It is clearly suggested that the internal examination
could be effectively used to test the student’s in-depth
knowledge in each subject
since it is objective type the marks will be given only
to the right answer and could not be distributed to the
steps involved in arriving at the result. Such questions
will create interest in the students about the subject
and will develop the required abilities rather than
memorizing lessons, which is generally done by
students nowadays,”
• Transfer of credit is also allowed to make global
acceptance. B Tech Honors course is also introduced to
promote research and excellence in engineering
education.
