A comparison of carbon emission amongdifferent types of vehicles such as, ICEvehicles, Hybrid, PHEVs and EVs, isimportant to further determine whether theuse of EVs is beneficial in terms of CO2emission. It has been estimated that by 2020,0.3 million EVs will ply on Indian roads.Thus, in future EVs will play a very importantrole in transportation system and therefore,the study of their impact on the environmentis essential.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL FOR POTTER WHEEL
Principal Investigator : Ms. D. Rajalakshmi
Co-Investigator: Ms. M. Nirmala
Funding Agency: RuTAG (IITM)
Amount Sanctioned: Rs.113000/-
Objective:To produce low cost electrically driven three speed /twospeed potter wheel using single phase fractional HP motorwith proper gear assembly for best efficiency. As the mostof the rural based potters have single phase electricitysupply in their places, conventional industrial type SGinduction motor of single phase is used.
Applications:Pot making process with variable speed control.

DESIGN OF DUAL ROTOR COUNTER ROTATION 1 kW PMSG
Project Coordinators : Dr. Rani ThottungalDr. N. Prakash
Funding Agency: Keerthi International,CBE
Amount Sanctioned: Rs.140000/-
Objective:To produce more power, even at low wind speed condition.This system is proposed with a new wind turbine generatorSystems (WTGS).The system allows both the conductorsystem and the magnetic system to rotate independently.Hence the relative motion is equal to the speed of rotationof either of the systems to produce more power, there byproducing optimum power at very low speeds.
Highlight:The field rotor rotates in one direction while the rotor with the conductors will be rotating in the another direction. So the output voltage will get increased..
