Non-Conventional Energy Sources: Powering the Sustainable Future

img

This course provides an in-depth understanding of non-conventional (renewable and alternative) energy sources that are critical to building a sustainable and energy-secure future. With growing global concern over environmental pollution, fossil fuel depletion, and climate change, the exploration and adoption of clean energy technologies have become essential.

Learners will explore various non-conventional energy systems, including solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, tidal, and hydrogen energy, along with hybrid systems. The course covers their working principles, system components, design basics, advantages, limitations, and real-world applications.

In addition to theoretical concepts, the course integrates case studies, global trends, government initiatives, and the role of non-conventional energy in India's energy strategy, equipping students with a strong foundation to contribute to the clean energy sector.


🔹 Key Highlights:

  • Introduction to energy scenario and need for alternative energy sources

  • Solar energy: photovoltaic (PV) and thermal systems

  • Wind energy: types, site selection, wind turbines, and generation

  • Biomass and biogas technologies: energy conversion, gasifiers, digesters

  • Geothermal and tidal energy systems

  • Hydrogen energy and fuel cells
