Dr. Raman has done his doctorate from Pondicherry University, on syngas production through biomass gasification and its applications for power generation, industrial thermal applications and transport sector. Dr. Raman is the Director of “Energy Efficiency and Environment P. Ltd.” New Delhi, India (https://cleanenergyee.com/). Having more than 40 years of experience, acquired a strong subject expertise on renewable energy technologies.
Dr. Raman has extensively worked on several renewable energy products in the areas of biomass gasification, biogas plants and solar ponds. Worked on rural electrification projects using biomass gasifier based power plants in India and abroad. Extensively studied solar PV based micro grid, Island gid of biomass power plants. Dr. Raman contributed to more than a dozen patents on the invention of renewable energy products like biomass gasifiers and clean combustion cookstoves. Authored more than 100 publications, which include publications in reputed international journals.
Dr. Raman designed and developed forced draft biomass cookstoves integrated with TEG for small power generation. Recently developed an advanced three stage biomass gasifier system for power generation and got it patented. Worked in many international projects in the continents of East Asia, Africa, Europe and Australia.
Presently Dr. Raman’s focused research are design and development of biomass-steam gasification system to produce hydrogen rich syngas for production green hydrogen, development of high efficient and clean combustion biomass cookstoves with porous radiant burner and development of an innovative solar cook-top using concentrated solar collector with hybrid thermal storage system.
