Energy Resource Conversions and Power Plant Systems
First semester course exposes the students to various types of power generation systems in operation, along with related aspects of energy sources used in them; covering from conventional thermal and hydro systems to renewable sources of energy.
Transmission and Distribution
As the forward value chain of Indian power sector brings the nation huge losses, we, at NPTI, train and equip our MBA students with adequate knowledge infrastructure and supporting tools which they use to fight against this blot on Indian power sector. We have a dynamic and embedded course design to sharpen the skills of our students in T&D domain. Our students are well exposed to functional and managerial aspects of SCADA, GIS Applications, Smart Grid, IT Applications, HVDC & HVAC, and Advanced Metering Applications etc. Apart from that, our MBA students are given frontal exposure and brainstorming sessions of in-house veterans and industry experts.
Electricity Industry Structure & Regulations
This second semester subject introduces the history of power sector regulatory frameworks, along with their gradual development over the period of time, dealing with the latest developments. Also an introduction to international experiences is provided with active interactive sessions of case studies. The course helps students to develop a deep understanding of the regulatory frameworks so they are able to contribute to its development as to help evolving power sector.
Power Environment Interface
The compulsory third semester subject introduces the understanding of crucial balance the power sector development needs to maintain with environment. Various related Regulatory structures, EIA procedures, and latestdevelopments on clean energy form the course content.
Energy Efficiency and Energy Audit
This paper delves deeper into aspects related with energy efficiency and effective utilization of energy resources. It is aptly said, one unit saved is equivalent to two unit generated. The design of course is such as to make our students aware of the areas where the saving and efficiency potential lies. Also, it equips the student with adequate technical and managerial tools to help their domain make more energy efficient.
Project Management & Infrastructure Finance
The elective third semester subject provides in depth understanding of the concepts behind project appraisalsystems and financial aspects involved in the process of infrastructure financing. The subject has almost been theregular choice of majority of students.
Power Station Management
The elective third semester subject forms the advanced understanding base for systems involved in management of power plants. A further analysis of finer aspects of power station operations and efficiency improvement is dealt with.
Hydro Power Resources Management
The elective third semester subject expands the students understanding of hydro power plants working apart from introducing the processes related to contracts management. This equips the students to get a foothold in the hydro power sector
Integrated Energy Management And Power Planning
This paper builds up the concepts related to various patterns of fuel consumption: agricultural, domestic, industrial and community needs, Demand side Management, Energy Audit & Energy Conservation, Rural Electrification and Integrated Resource Planning Tools and Methodologies.
Power Pricing and Power Purchase Agreements
This final semester paper builds strong concepts in finer aspects related to power pricing systems and power purchase agreements, the student is at home with the understanding and various issues related to these procedures.
Global Power Business
This final semester paper develops the knowledge of students in the field of evolving power markets across the world and updates the knowledge related to developing power market operations in India. So the students are well equipped to face challenging assignments in power trading.
Renewable Energy
With the rising need of Renewables in India underlined by exclusive focus on ‘National Solar Mission’, this paper gives a better insight into various renewable power generating systems with special focus on biomass wind energy, Solar PV & Solar thermal systems. Economic & financial systems related to subjects provides a base for enabling sustainable development through alternative sources of energy.
And...
Eight weeks Summers Internship with power industry is a mandatory part of course, to enhance the exposure to live issues, problems & challenges of the power Industry. The Final Semester also requires the students to undergo amajor project.
