Nonconventional Energy Resources - Basic Aspects (Volume 1)

Non-conventional sources of energy comprise those energy sources that are natural, inexhaustible as well as renewable. Like for instance, solar energy, tidal energy and wind energy. In present times, some of the major and extensively used non-conventional sources energy includes wind, tides, solar geo-thermal heat, biomass including farm and animal waste as well as human excreta. Like for instance, sewage from large cities can be used for generating biogas. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible. They are inexpensive in nature. This book describes the basic idea of the nonconventional energy sources in the present situations.
