1.8.16 Establishment of Renewable Energy Research and Development Center, UET,
Taxila
The purpose of the project is to establish Renewable Energy Research and Development Center (REDRC). To develop new
system designs and operation modes that will enable both better environmental performance and competitive generation
of electricity under most possible speed, head and flow combination. Testing local manufactured turbines in the field to
demonstrate if these turbines are commercially viable, compatible with today's environmental standards, capable of
balancing environmental, technical, operational and cost considerations. The research programme will include prototype
design, construction and testing of local developed turbine designs and evaluation of full-scale systems in more realistic
field settings. Developing new tools to improve water use efficiency and operations optimization within hydropower units,
plants and river systems with multiple hydropower facilities. The Center is assumed to open with an intake of 8 MS
students and 2 Ph.D. The intake will increase yearly to be after the completion of the master plan 20 MS and 8 Ph.D.
