Non-Conventional Energy Resources is the study of methods by which energy resources like solar, wind, biomass could be considered for large scale use. This book is an effort to explore generation of energy through these resources in a balanced way. It is primarily intended to serve as a textbook for engineering students at the undergraduate level.

SALIENT FEATURES :

• Describes the fundamental physical processes governing various non-conventional energy technologies and their applications.



• Basic principles, system of conversion, current status and environmental impacts are discussed for each of the technologies covered.



• More than 200 review questions, solved examples and problems for practice.



• Current Indian as well as International case studies. See the examples given for community Solar Cooker, Solar Furnaces and Floating Drum Type Biogas Plant.
