Facilities

At the Energy Consortium – IIT Madras, we take pride in our cutting-edge facilities tailored to support both our research and training endeavours, as well as our esteemed industrial partners. These facilities stand as pillars of essential infrastructure, seamlessly integrating with the Institute’s globally recognized research and educational initiatives.

Our Research Facilities offer access to state-of-the-art technologies and specialized expertise, empowering our community to pursue ground-breaking research and innovation. They comprise a total of 45 instruments and 15 test rigs, and high-computing facilities in multiple groups and labs. In addition, 15 pilot setups, were built to simulate and achieve the desired target of energy needs at the plant scale. These facilities are helping more than 100 researchers and 45 professors understand, simulate, and develop high end technologies. They also serve as dynamic hubs fostering collaboration across faculties, themes, and disciplines, driving excellence in both research and education.

At the heart of our mission lies the commitment to facilitating world-class research and training experiences, and our facilities play a pivotal role in achieving this objective. Explore our facilities and discover how we’re shaping the future of energy research and education.
