Substantial enhancement is necessary for long-term renewable energy systems to address carbon emissions and climate change, while simultaneously improving human life. To tackle this challenge, numerous engineers and various technical professionals require new theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as greater familiarity with current and emerging renewable technologies.

In Chemical Processes in Renewable Energy Systems, Dr. Vivek Utgikar presents the fundamental principles, conversions, and applications related to each predominant category of renewable energy. With a focus on engineering students and practitioners, Utgikar encompasses solar, biomass, hydro, wind, ocean, and geothermal energy, alongside hybrid systems that integrate generation with storage. Additionally, he introduces crucial principles of techno-economic analysis to elucidate factors that will continue to influence policy regarding renewable energy systems.

Utgikar deliberates on cutting-edge advancements, recent developments, as well as enduring scientific and technological principles and conversions, providing comprehensive references to encourage further exploration. The following content will assist in swiftly attaining current knowledge and in keeping abreast of advancements as technological, social, and economic factors evolve.

  • Comprehend energy’s function in society, the constraints and dangers of fossil sources, and renewable alternatives
  • Examine the primary forms of key renewable energy and the conversions they enable
  • Understand how concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) systems enhance solar energy utilization
  • Explore advanced conversions of biomass energy into electrical power, heat, and fuel chemicals
  • Optimize conversions in renewable systems that are predominantly mechanical and thermal, such as hydro, wind, ocean, and geothermal systems
  • Consider engineering aspects related to hybrid systems that combine generation with batteries or other forms of storage
  • Apply principles of techno-economic analysis to renewables for improved policy or business decisions

This information will elucidate the technical principles and policy perspectives influencing the transition to renewable energy for students. For practitioners, it offers a refresher and a readily available resource to implement any renewable energy system, both now and in the future.
