Since its inception AHEC has been trying to make its presence felt at national level in the field of small hydro development and other new and renewable energy sources (NRES) notably biomass, solar and wind. The centre has been able to generate interaction at international level also by way of exchange programmes for scientists from country like UK, Holland, The Netherlands, China and New Zealand.

Since 1982 AHEC has gained valuable experience in the design & execution of small hydro projects & biomass based gasifier. Young scientific staff has gained excellent expertise in the entire gamut of activities connected with small hydro and biomass gasification with post graduate and doctoral degrees in Civil, Electrical, Electronics, Computers, Mechanical & Chemistry. The scientific staff is well supported by an excellent team of technicians, consisting of lab technician, computer personnel, fitters, welders etc who have worked on erection & commissioning of micro hydel projects undertaken by Centre.
