Renewable energy refers to the energy obtained from natural sources that can be renewed at a pace that exceeds their use. Renewable sources such as sunlight and wind exhibit the characteristic of continuous replenishment. The book discusses the use of non-conventional sources of energy such as Biogas, Solar energy, Wind Energy, and Geothermal Energy. These sources are presented as potential solutions to address the increasing energy requirements in many sectors including home areas, industry, and research organizations.
The book also explores significant but little-addressed subjects, including thermal design, Hydropower, Geothermal energy, Hydrogen & fuel cells, and energy efficiency. This comprehensive approach ensures that students are well-prepared for a prosperous and fulfilling professional path in the renewable energy sector.
This textbook provides a detailed exploration of the basic principles behind renewable energy, effectively bridging the divide between theoretical concepts and practical applications. In an era characterized by a growing need for comprehensive and pertinent knowledge on the underlying principles and practical implementation of renewable energy, this book serves as a valuable resource for students seeking guidance.
