The challenge of sustainable energy provision for a growing world population faced with dwindling natural resources is one of the most urgent issues facing science and technology today. In this book, expert contributors offer more than a dozen new research studies into key developments in energy derivation technologies from solar, waves, wind and biomass today. In the first part, a range of new developments are showcased and evaluated. Topics discussed include maximum power extraction from utility-interfaced wind turbines, a review of wave-power technologies, and wind diesel hybrid power systems. In part two, the sustainable growth and applications of renewable energy sources are explored. Here, new research is presented on topics including applications of energetic willow, biomass energy conversion, gasification of agricultural waste, and tall wheatgrass as a potential energy crop for semi-arid land. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of renewable energy who will find many new insights as well as inspiration for further research in this crucial area.
