POWER AND ENERGY LABORATORY

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has a state-of-the-art power system laboratory that is extensively used for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research. Several hardware setups that can be used to mimic generation, transmission, and distribution systems and their control are available in the laboratory. The lab is also equipped with commercial software such as PSCAD/EMTDC, PSS/E, and IPSA. In addition to facilities available in this lab to analyze and demonstrate electrical power systems, we are developing a Smart Grid Lab to give insight into the latest developments in the power system.

RF AND MICROWAVE LABORATORY

This lab is constantly improving its resources to support cutting edge research and to offer high quality courses, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Students are given not only a sound theoretical knowledge but also a solid practical experience in microwave technology. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art design tools such as AWR Micrwave Office, Ansoft HFSS/Designer, network analysers, spectrum analysers, power meters, and etc.

CONTROL AND AUTOMATION LABORATORY

The Controls, Automation and Robotics laboratory guides and conduct practical experiments for undergraduate and graduate students following courses in this area. The lab is equipped with laboratory setups and tools specially tailored to deliver the fundamentals as well as advanced concept effectively and efficiently in analogue and digital control of electrical and electro-mechanical systems, modern control systems including real time and distributed systems, industrial automation systems, industrial control systems and mobile robotics.

ELECTRONICS AND INSTRUMENTATION LABORATORY

Electronic and Instrumentation laboratory of DEEE focuses on analog electronics to digital logic designs and instrumentation. State-of-the-art laboratory test equipment include analog and digital oscilloscopes, logic analysers, programmable function generators, isolated-tracking-adjustable-dual power supplies, FPGA development kits, multichannel analog and digital DAQ cards, industrial embedded computers, logic design demo boards, microprocessor and microcontroller development kits, and many other equipment.

COMPUTING RESOURCES

The Department maintains its own autonomous computer network while still being a part of the main University network. At the centre of this network are the three servers, each dedicated for a unique purpose: mail, web and file services. Postgraduate students are provided with a mini network of their own, equipped with a file server and specialized software within the Department network. Software ranging from simple demonstration tools to advanced simulation tools in various areas of Electrical Engineering are available for the Department members. The wireless link within the Department provides constant connectivity to a number of roaming users with laptops and for places where wired network access does not exist.

Students are provided with separate computing facilities dedicated for the project and research works. This facility allows them to use some of the advanced simulation tools for their works. In addition, the COMPUTING CENTER is providing the necessary computing facilities in the weekdays as well as weekends. Therefore, postgraduate students could use the computing facilities provided by the computer centre. It has a capacity to accommodate more than 70 students at a time.
