Session included the present requirement of condition monitoring and its importance with respect to the growing competition in power market. Field visit was also organized within the campus to perform the practical on live electrical motors where students has used the vibration meter to determine the performance of electrical induction motor. Students has recorded the data in field and in class, the performance analysis was done where students learn how to analyze the performance of various electrical machines.

Condition monitoring is also important to analyze the performance of most of the Renewable Energy Power Plant like monitoring the vibration of Wind Blades, monitoring the solar PV Cell health etc. and proved to be very useful for the students, as Mr. Hemant has explained the scope of research required on various aspects of condition monitoring in Indian context.
