Renewable energy is one of the pioneer fields nowadays and everyone is interested in the growth curve of it. It has broad applications in several areas ranging from energy, transport, and transmission to storage and even day-to-day activities. This book provides a perfect blend of all current issues related to latest developments in the field of renewable energy utilization. The book will be very useful for engineers, scientists, academicians, etc., in the fields of mechanical, electrical, electronics, civil, computer, and artificial intelligence working in the broader domain of renewable energy.

This book is intended for use as a reference book to look into the latest developments in the field of renewable energy keeping the minimum basic knowledge intact. The objectives of this work are:

• To cover the sub-domains of the renewable energy sector in which the latest developments have taken place.

• To present practical problems that are coming up in understanding and implementing the renewable energy sector.

• To link academia with the industries and try to solve some of the practical industrial problems.

We hope that the careful explanations given in this book with numerous figures and tables will help the readers to develop important skills and will help them to boost their knowledge and confidence level.

The main philosophy is to help the young and budding engineers of tomorrow to ignite their minds to critically analyze the importance of renewable energy and its future scope. This book also intends to awaken interest and enthusiasm in the students; it should be thought of only as as a problem-solving aid.

The key features of different chapters of this text are as follows. Chapter 1offers a brief but comprehensive review of the biomass resources, chemical structure and characterization, technologies available for conversion, scientific processes and their related products. The author concludes with a discussion of the impact of biomass as an emerging renewable: challenges and opportunities and a brief discussion about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapter 2gives an overview of different renewable energy technologies based on sustainability. This chapter gives short overviews on fuzzy-TOPSIS and Monte Carlo tools for renewable energy sustainability. Chapter 3gives a detailed account of the biomass effect, the energy crisis, biomass impact, and the efficient biomass conversion into energy through the developed technology. Chapter 4presents recent advances in power electronics in power drive systems, transmission systems, electric vehicles, and more electric aircrafts/ships. The authors offer a short introduction to the state-of-the-art reliability of power converter. Chapter 5investigates thermal performance of an artificially roughened Corrugated Aluminium Alloy (AlMn1Cu) Plate Solar Air Heater (SAH) at a moderate air flow rate. Chapter 6is mainly focussed on array reconfiguration methods which are elaborately described through their classification, methodology, and best-suited configuration in each of its categories. As per the momentum situation, as a result of the long wire length prerequisite for PV cluster reconfiguration. In Chapter 7, various rigorous models such as view factor, ray tracing, and empirical models will be studied and a comparison of the optical models and their dependent software for calculating irradiance available to bifacial modules are also discussed. Chapter 8deals with the intervention of microorganisms for the pre-treatment of lingo-cellulosic biomass to extract the fermentable sugars for bio-fuel production. In Chapter 9, detailed descriptions of various resources, conversion technologies and applications of biomass and bio-energy in upcoming sectors are provided. Chapter 10takes a tour of renewable energy development in Africa. In this chapter, lessons and policy recommendations from South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria have been taken.
