Prof.Vivek Lal, Director PGIMER inaugurated a Clinical Simulator Lab at the Biomedical Instruments and Devices Hub (BID Hub), at PGIMER Chandigarh. He was accompanied by Prof. G D Puri, Dean of PGIMER, and Sh Kumar Abhay, Financial Adviser of the Institute. The Clinical Simulator Lab is a major milestone for the institute. It mimics human physiology, and many disease conditions and drug reactions can be practiced on this.

Prof. Lal highlighted the importance of the Clinical simulator and stressed that it should be utilized to the maximum, to train health care personnel as well as students. Prof. G D Puri and Prof.Joseph Mathew, the Coordinators of the Hub explained the various functions of the simulator. The sophisticated equipment will also be used for the clinical testing of indigenously developed instruments and devices. Notably, life-saving equipment such as ventilators, breathing support devices, and cardiac equipment can be successfully tested using the simulator.

Prof. Lal lauded the efforts of the Biomedical Hub in developing novel indigenous technologies, and their clinical testing. The Hub was established in 2018 and has successfully developed several innovative equipment. Notable among these are the Closed Loop Anesthesia Delivery system (popularly called Anesthesia robot), the IV-alert (to provide alarms when infusions are running low), and the Artificial Breathing Capability Device. Several others are in advanced stages of clinical testing. These include the Double Volume Exchange Transfusion Device, Cricoid Pressure Sensor Device, Gastrointestinal Impedance monitoring device, and hi-tech endoscopic needles for treating patients with pancreatic disorders.

PSPCL SUPPLIED HIGHEST EVER POWER IN SINGLE DAY OF 3265 LACS UNITS SURPASSING PREVIOUS YEAR RECORD OF 3066 LACS UNITS

 

Complying with the strict instructions of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Mann to provide uninterrupted power supply for agriculture and domestic sector, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) had supplied highest ever power in a single day of 3265 lacs units which surpassed the previous year record of 3066 lacs units supplied on July 1, 2021 that is an increase of 6.49%.

This year PSPCL has also successfully met highest ever peak demand of 14207 MW on 29-06-2022 at 12.15 PM by surpassing the previous year record of 13431 MW on 01-07-2021. This summer due to increased temperature, demand of power is persistently high but despite this PSPCL is providing daily 8 hour power supply to its agriculture consumers and 24 hour power supply to all other categories of consumers in the Punjab  without imposing any power cuts on any category of consumers.

Divulging further, Punjab Power Minister Sh. Harbhajan Singh informed, in view of the continuous high demand, PSPCL developed the strategy to adopt various deviation settlement mechanism measures for the reactive power management to optimize resources. He said that in order to compensate the reactive power requirement of the system, condenser mode of unit no 3 of Ranjit Sagar Dam plant, which was not being used for many  years, has now been made operational to compensate the 60 Mega Volt Amps Reactive (MVAR) requirement of reactive power in the system.

Besides this, Mega Volt Amps Reactive MVAR capacity of the system has also been increased through a special drive by the addition of 341.61 Mega Volt Amps Reactive MVAR capacity with 251 units of capacitor banks at the grid sub stations and addition of shunt capacitors of required capacity at 11 KV feeders to improve the voltage profile of the system, he added.
