This book creates a holistic view about the localized energy transition while addressing current challenges associated with the production of biofuels, introducing new materials to produce solar PV panels, and digital systems for sustainable energy monitoring on a small scale, carbon capture and sequestration.
This book creates a holistic view about the localized energy transition while addressing current challenges associated with the production of biofuels, introducing new materials to produce solar PV panels, and digital systems for sustainable energy monitoring on a small scale, carbon capture and sequestration. Also, each section of the book addresses specific aspects of the renewable and sustainable energy space while focusing more on energy improvement and storage technologies that are practical focused.
Features:
- Offers useful information on new forms of renewable energy generation with reference to Industry 4.0.
- Illustrates practical approaches to energy transition.
- Provides guidance on renewable energy sources and energy storage systems.
- Discusses application of 4IR-related approaches to emerging energy storage technologies.
- Includes studies that reveal approaches to realizing productivity, profitability, and increased return on Investment (ROI).
This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mechanical, chemical, and mechatronics engineering, and renewable energy systems.
