Course Objectives
Renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the Sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. The Sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy, is captured with wind turbines. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydroelectric power. Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called bio energy. This STC is designed to address applications of renewable energy in the industry and to encourage professionals /research scholars/ academicians towards research and for their Academic enhancement. By the end of the programme, the participants will be enriched in renewable energy technologies and transitions.
