Energy is the driving force behind all economic
activities. Consequently the ever increasing
population and the associated energy requirements
to meet the increasing living standards have become
matters of great concern. In particular, the
availability of suitable and sufficient energy sources,
development of environmental friendly utilization
technologies and the cost of energy have become
extremely important factors needing immediate
attention. In this context, several schemes have been
proposed for developing new and renewable energy
technologies. With this background, an international
workshop on Advances in Renewable Energy
Technologies is being organized for middle level
practicing engineers, managers from industry, and
personnel from teaching and R&D institutions. The
main objective of the workshop is disseminating
relevant information on various aspects and current
trends in renewable energy technologies for power
generation. Attending this course will be of great
benefit to the teachers by familiarizing themselves
with the state of the art in energy technologies and
planning long-term research programmes. For
working engineers and scientists, the programme
will open up new vistas for the application of
advanced renewable energy technologies to the
problems that they are currently facing and also they
can identify topics for future research and
development.
