The Centre for Advanced Studies in Renewable Energy (ASURE Centre), NED University of Engineering & Technology, is a specialized hub dedicated to research, testing, training, and consultancy in renewable energy and power systems. With state-of-the-art laboratories, the Centre provides accredited facilities for the testing of PV modules, inverters, batteries, substation equipment, and energy audit supporting both industry and academia.
- To provide testing facility related to renewable energy and power system.
- To issue certificates and compliance report to the consignee.
- To create awareness session (trainings, workshop and symposium) related to renewable energy to the local industries and residential consumer.
- To bridge the gap between academia and industry through research, consultation and providing customized smart energy solutions.
ASURE Centre now offers a wide portfolio of services including:
-
PV Module Testing: EL imaging, I–V curve tracing, thermal imaging, PID tests, mechanical load tests, wet leakage, UV aging.
-
Inverter & Battery Testing: Efficiency, performance, cycling, safety compliance.
-
Substation & Grid Equipment Testing: Relay testing, CT/VT calibration, transformer oil tan-delta and insulation testing, earthing verification.
-
Power Quality & Energy Audits: Harmonic analysis, flicker measurement, load assessment, and PQ compliance as per IEC/IEEE standards.
-
Environmental & Reliability Testing: UV weathering, thermal cycling, dynamic and static mechanical load tests, hail impact tests.
Sustainability & Impact
The Centre actively promotes renewable energy deployment and sustainable development practices, directly contributing to the United Nations SDGs (7, 9, 12, 13, 17). Through its services, ASURE helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen infrastructure reliability, and enable industries and communities to adopt clean, affordable, and safe energy practices.
