Introduction to Renewable Energy Conversions examines all the major renewable energy conversion technologies and provides step-by-step procedures for readers to formulate renewable energy resource assessments and design appropriate renewable energy systems and strategies.

After covering the core renewable resources, this book also delves into tidal, wave, ocean thermal, piezoelectrics, cold fusion, and gravitational field energy. The new edition features extended discussions on the circular economy with newer concepts such as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), carbon footprint (CF), and carbon intensity (CI) of fuels. It includes over 490 end-of-chapter problems and real-world scenarios and case studies, featuring solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, hydraulic rams, and wind power.

Upper-level undergraduate engineering and science students taking courses in Renewable Energy, Energy Systems, Energy Conversion, and Sustainability will find this book a valuable resource.

Instructors will be able to access a Solutions Manual, Lecture Slides, Case Studies and Solutions, and a suggested syllabus with lab exercises.

The eBook+ includes popup definitions and figures, audio overviews of each chapter, and video instructions and Excel templates for case studies.
