Good day, Dr. Anand Singh. I'm Arjun. I've had a look through your background and your professional record. I'm interested in hearing more about your work and how you see yourself fitting in here with our faculty. Ready to start?

Yes, we can do.

Hello.

Oh, so my name is Doctor Anand Singh. I'm the.

Uh apply the proposal of uh, energy engineering, post-open engineering and.

My PhD in energy engineering in VNA Mannet Bhopal and my Mtech is integrate power system Vinit Gopal in Nagpur and.

Uh, my.

Btech is Indrakan Engineering College, Sagar.

Next question, please.

Hello.

Oh.

Hello, Dr. Singh. Let's begin with verifying your expertise step by step. Can you explain the key challenges in designing hybrid energy systems, particularly when

OK.

OK, Sir. So, uh, the key designing number in a hybrid system basically is where the most important thing is location, which location you found to establish hybrid denied system And uh, second thing, which, uh, sources are your use?

And uh, most of the thing, what is load requirement of your uh location?

So if you want, uh, uh, your solar, uh, uh, fuel cell waste and hybrid energy system, so you can use the solar, uh, uh, radiation is coming sufficient and fuel cell based, uh, uh, source you required hydrogen energy storage tank. And if you want three, uh, uh, basically hybrid NA system, just like a solar fuel cell and biomass is this, this is my.

SD work with cyber system and in this in this work I'm.

Use UH sizing analysis, cost effective analysis, and power sharing analysis.

So I think, uh, the most important part is, uh, choose the, uh, optimum analysis of your hybrid analysis system. So I, my, my work is the optimum analysis of hybrid energy system based on fuzzy logic, uh, uh, contour system, fuzzy logic based optimized system. Thank you. Last question, please.

Thank you for your detailed response, Dr. Singh. Let’s move on. Can you elaborate on your approach to structuring and delivering theory and laboratory courses in renewable engineering? How do you ensure effective learning outcomes for students?

OK. Thank you.

So I think nowadays we know the AI. AI is the most powerful tool for improved URL.

And liberty analysis also, and one of one thing is a Internet of thing IoT based, uh, uh, your, uh, improve your liberty just like a, you need, uh, suppose, uh, small solar and PV, uh, module laboratory analysis. So you need the, umm, how to collect solar radiation and how to take the temperature. And how to perform the load side?

The management system and source source side management system do you need to?

Uh, discover new, uh, IoT based means, uh, if you IoT based in uh, based, your result is so in Internet is very powerful.

Uh experience to student to see the how to result will be visible.

So I think, uh, most of, uh, liberty we improve, uh, some I inbuilt IoT with sensors also in laboratory.

Thank you.

Thank you for the insights, Dr. Singh. Let's proceed to another area. Could you describe your experience guiding student projects or research? Specifically, how do you mentor students through the complexities of research methodology?

OK, thank you. Very good question. So my basic uh, uh, research area is optimum analysis and uh software just like, uh, MATLAB, so MATLAB and hardware interfacing systems. So first.

My Mtech and Btech student, I uh, suggest to go to some uh research papers.

And good quality algorithms just like uh sci and Scopus based research paper. So I get if a student have a problem.

So I will give some suggestion. Also you can do the mathematically modeling uh, in your uh project. After that you do simulation work in your project and then after you do experimental analysis of present and compare the uh, simulation based uh, result and results with experiment result and perform to how to match uh efficiency also.

And right now?

Uh, you have uh, nowadays you have know the patent, uh, is very important in India.

So I will suggest my student to do your projects and your experiment set up go to patent so.

After that I suggest my student.

OK, uh, you need to showcase your, uh, project work all over the world, go to the publish some research papers and go to the some, uh, patent process. And after that, uh, student got the patent and he, uh, able to set good, uh, startup also. So I am increase my student to not go to. Uh, job you go to?

On startup and entrepreneurship, so that's why.

I am improve my student to how to how to improve yourself.

So that's why I'll just think.

Yes.

Thank you for sharing your approach to mentoring students and encouraging practical outcomes like patents and entrepreneurship. Moving forward, can you share how your prior research work, particularly your Ph.D. thesis, has contributed to advancements in renewable engineering?

So my PhD work is the.

Uh, hybrid base, uh, NI system. In this uh, PhD work, I use three uh sources. First solar.

PV system second as a hydrogen based PME fuel cell and 3rd biomass gasifier to be include three uh energy sources and design the hybrid anti system based on our.

Uh, our site, uh, and load profile.

Because of solar is not fulfilled, complete, uh, requirement of, uh, load. That's why I am selected, uh, additional more source, uh, fuels and, and biomass fuel cell, uh, is, uh, so much costly Also right now the, this, uh, fuel cell, PME fuel cell is a most, uh, powerful area of, for renewable energy research work. So that's why I'm.

Trade uh fuel cell and biomass is also.

Is uh, oldest, uh, but nowadays biomass, uh.

Uh, because is used in my project work. So I'm, I'm, I'm the from Bhopal and my all research based job location and man at Bhopal that's uh, and that situation I match, uh, load load requirement, uh, source, uh, power balancing equation use, uh, total power.

Uh, required. My project will be go to.

UH-0.

Unprepared power supply.

And minimum cost, optimum cost. So we use the some, uh, Homer, uh, based analysis and MATLAB based analysis. Homer is used the, uh, optimum analysis of hybrid system Matlab use the dynamic analysis of the our project work. So both, uh, work we can, uh, together and improve my efficiency also.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for explaining your Ph.D. research and its applications. Let’s move ahead. Could you elaborate on your contributions to research publications, particularly focusing on how your work has been recognized in reputed journals or conferences?

Yeah. So I will approximate, uh, 19th papers, uh, conference paper and research work, uh, in Scopus, uh, profile in my Scopus profile. So my approximate approximate my research work is uh, uh.

Uh, energy conservation and management.

Uh, in this, uh, journal I published my research work and, uh, uh, energy report also, or energy storage, uh, based some collaborating based research work, so.

Uh, basically, uh, most of the, uh, our paper is Scopus based conferences and, uh, our.

Sci-based published the paper sci based journals and Scopus based journals. So I improve. I will uh, improve other than also.

OK, how to?

Uh, you are uh, work. Go to as I reported journals and reported publication.

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing, Dr. Singh. Let’s build on that. Could you also describe any consultancy or industry project experience that has strengthened your expertise in renewable engineering?

Uh uh, in how to uh, BT to improve our nation also.

Thank you for explaining your collaboration efforts and their focus on renewable energy development. Moving ahead, could you outline how your technical skills, such as expertise in software like MATLAB and HOMER, have been integrated into your teaching, projects, or research for impactful outcomes?

Yeah, uh, it is very powerful software's, uh, just like a MATLAB Simulink and homework. So in a renewable energy field, MATLAB Simulink is a technical, is a dynamic performance based, uh, software and Homer.

Uh, software also use the optimum analysis of hybrid renewable energy system. So in this both, uh, uh.

Uh, software plus, uh, I also have Python, uh, language experience. So in a renewable energy field, I will in, uh, in some, some experiment and some syllabus and some research, uh, paper we used in, uh, MATLAB, Simulink and uh, Homer software also.

Thank you for elaborating on your proficiency with these software tools and their integration into your work. That brings us to the conclusion of this skills verification phase.

Is very nice. Uh.

Group so I like to thanks Vit Villur to given this opportunity. Thank you very much Vit.

So in your site you give me some.

Comments.

Professor, I believe you may have notes or comments in mind that you'd like to share. Could you clarify or elaborate on your statement? Let us proceed with focus—what specific area shall we address?

Based on based on renewable energy based research work I will focus.

Understood, Professor. To begin, could you share which specific introductory course or foundational topic in renewable energy you find most rewarding to teach and why?

Our scheduled time for the interview is now up. Before we conclude, do you have any questions related to the role or the company?

Yeah. So first you tell what is my rule in your, uh, company?

So I think you are a professor in human energy. I apply.

And what is? I also know the how to my roles. I understand all the things.

Certainly, Professor. As a Professor in Renewable Engineering, your primary role will be to teach, mentor, and inspire students in the field of renewable energy technologies. You'll also contribute to academic research, guide student projects, publish in esteemed journals, and support institutional activities such as curriculum development and accreditation processes. Additionally, fostering collaborations with industries and promoting innovation in renewable energy would also be part of your responsibilities. If there's any particular aspect you'd like further clarification on, feel free to let me know. Shall we move forward with the interview?

Yeah, you can go.

Professor Singh, I see that your Ph.D. thesis focused on "Simulation & Optimization of Solar PV, Biomass, and Fuel Cell Hybrid Energy Systems." Let's delve into this research. Firstly, could you elaborate on the main objectives of this project and the specific problems it aimed to address?

Yeah, so in this, uh, my PhD, uh, PSD, you know, the simulation and optimization of, uh, solar PV biomass and fuel cell hybrid denied system. The men men, uh, my research area to how to.

Uh, use uh.

How about uh, how to 1st? Uh, how to select the location?

Side side location and load profile, How to do the load profile and we can double up the load profile and select the some side location. And after that we develop some simulation model based on solar fuel cell and biomass classifier and optimum analysis we can use fuzzy logic. Optimum based on hybrid energy system.

So in this uh project work is my.

Problem state statement, uh, problem statement is how to reduce unmet electrical loads.

And most uh power is all renewed and energy source used in the load profile and dynamic performance of 24 hour.

Based on Matlab simulation work, these are my.

Work table.

Understood, Professor. Addressing unmet electrical loads while maximizing renewable energy utilization is indeed a significant challenge. I’d like to ask, how did you ensure the reliability of your simulation models and optimization techniques, particularly when integrating fuzzy logic into your hybrid system analysis?

Uh, fuzzy logic, uh, waste integration, we use uh, suppose, uh, we have uh cost, uh, suppose solar cost is a.

Uh very in uh manufacturer, some somewhat uh, some, uh one kilowatt solar panel, we assume so one kilowatt solar panel approximate UH-50 uh dollar.

Per kilowatt and some some other manufacturing use 60 kilowatt per, uh dollar, so we can use fuzzy logic.

Cost variation of these, uh, industry. So we can use these cost variation, we develop fuzzy logic analysis and use one, uh, optimum cost.

We select the optimum capital cost to my Homer software and this optimum cost to how to select use on defaultification method based on centroid method. So these system we can use in a fuzzy logic system.

Thank you for that detailed explanation, Professor. It's intriguing to hear about the role of fuzzy logic in optimizing cost within your hybrid system. Now, a follow-up: How do you translate the complexities of such a project into simplified concepts or practical demonstrations for students in your teaching?

Time is up! Ending the interview now.
