IANS, 20 Feb, 2018 01:01 PM

    Canadas Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan today laid foundation stone for the "worlds first high power conductor testing laboratory" to be built at the Gujarat Forensic Sciences University (GFSU) here today.

     

    The laboratory is being set up as part of an MoU signed between the GFSU and Canadian energy technology firm, Kinectrics International, during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit?2017, a release by the university said.

     

    Duncan laid the foundation stone for the worlds first high power conductor testing laboratory in the presence of state Energy Minister Saurabh Patel, Director General of GFSU, J M Vyas, and Head (R&D), Kinectrics International, Paul Speekens.

     
     

    In his address, Vyas said the state-of-the art transmission conductor testing laboratory will be built with an investment of USD 1.75 million.

     

    "This high power conductor testing laboratory is being established to test and also perform forensics of high power conductor in case of failure. The low power conductor testing laboratory is available at Canada but no such laboratory is available for the testing of high power conductor," Vyas was quoted as saying in the release.

     
     

    According to Saurabh Patel, Indian as well as foreign companies will use this laboratory for testing and research of high power conductors to minimise the power transmission loss.

     

    He added that the facility will also strengthen the trade relationship between the India and Canada.

     

    In her address, Duncan said, "The high power conductor is based on the latest technology, which will be used to carry power for longer distance and testing of such high power conductor can now be carried out in the high power conductor laboratory at GFSU."
