The Renewable Energy Engineering and Technology A Knowledge Compendium covers major renewable energy resources and technologies for various applications. The book is conceived as standard reference book for students experts and policy makers. It has been designed to meet the needs of these diverse groups. While covering the basics of scientific and engineering principles of thermal engineering heat and mass transfer fluid dynamics and renewable energy resource assessments the book further deals with the basics of applied technologies and design practices for following renewable energy resources. Solar (Thermal and Photovotaic). Wind. Bio energy including liquid biofuels and municipal solid waste. Other renewable such as tidal wave and geothermal. The book is designed to fulfill the much awaited need for a handy scientific and easy to understand comprehensive handbook for design professionals and students of renewable energy engineering courses. Besides the sheer breadth of the topics covered what makes this well researched book different from earlier attempts is the fact that this is based on extensive practical experiences of the editor and the authors. Thus a lot of emphasis has been placed on system sizing and integration. Ample solved examples using data for India make this book a relevant and an authentic reference. 926 pp.
