1. Energy Theft Detection in Power Distribution Networks

Problem: Power theft is a major issue in many regions, causing economic losses and unreliable power delivery.
Challenge: Design a smart metering or IoT-based system that can detect unusual patterns in energy usage and flag potential theft in real time.

2. Low-Cost Solar-Powered EV Charging Station for Rural Areas

Problem: Lack of EV charging infrastructure in rural and remote locations limits EV adoption.
Challenge: Develop a cost-effective and scalable model for a solar-powered EV charging station that can operate independently of the main grid.

3. Smart Transformer Monitoring System Using IoT

Problem: Transformers in the distribution network often fail due to overheating, oil leakage, or overloads.
Challenge: Propose an IoT-based solution to monitor critical transformer parameters (like temperature, oil level, and load) and send real-time alerts to prevent failures.

4. Power Quality Monitoring in Smart Grids

Problem: With increasing use of nonlinear loads and renewable energy sources, power quality issues like harmonics and voltage fluctuations are rising.
Challenge: Design a system that continuously monitors power quality in a grid-connected environment and provides corrective suggestions or alerts.

5. Efficient Battery Management System (BMS) for Two-Wheeler EVs

Problem: Poor battery life and unexpected battery failure are major concerns in electric scooters.
Challenge: Develop a smart BMS concept that ensures optimal charging/discharging, state-of-charge estimation, and thermal management using AI or embedded systems.`
