AbstractSome forms of renewable energy have long contributed to electricity generation, whereas others are just emerging. For example, large-scale hydropower is a mature technology generating about 16% of global electricity, and many smaller scale systems are also being installed worldwide. Future opportunities to improve the technology are limited but include upgrading of existing plants to gain greater performance efficiencies and reduced maintenance. Geothermal energy, widely used for power generation and direct heat applications, is also mature, but new technologies could improve plant designs, extend their lifetimes, and improve reliability. By contrast, ocean energy is an emerging renewable energy technology. Design, development, and testing of a myriad of devices remain mainly in the research and development stage, with many opportunities for materials science to improve design and performance, reduce costly maintenance procedures, and extend plant operating lifetimes under the harsh marine environment.

With the growing demand for renewable, sustainable and efficient energy, biogas is one of the most promising methods to meet global renewable energy goals. Anaerobic Digestion: From Biomass to Biogas provides a comprehensive and systematic guide to developing and implement technology for biogas. This book gives a brief overview of biogas as an energy alternative, discusses biomass resources, basic biogas science and engineering, feedstock characterisation, storage, pretreatment and yield optimisation. Plant design, development and process control, emissions, digestate quality, engineering, process optimisation, land use and fertilisation are also included. Biogas generation, cleaning, upgrading and use as a transport fuel are also discussed. Anaerobic Digestion: From Biomass to Biogas is a practical guide to biogas technologies for process developers, producers, industrial chemists and biochemists, biologists, researchers and academics in this area.

The production of energy at the global level is conditioned by the use of fossil fuels that have a great environmental impact. In the last decades, renewable energy production systems have been implemented, and networks of nearly zero-energy buildings have been created, with a consequent complexity in the design phase in order to optimize the results. In this way, electronic prototype development methods like the one that is proposed in this paper improve the tasks of design and modelling. Thus, a new weather station based on an Arduino platform has been developed to collect and store ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and air quality data, comparing the obtained data to those obtained using a validation station containing commercial sensors. The results show how the use of low cost Arduino sensors allow one to obtain similar values to those collected by more professional meteorological stations with insignificant scatter between both technologies.

The demand for energy increased due to industrialization, urbanization and population growth. In order to meet the demand for energy, Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are exploited because of its advantages such as developed economic growth and sustainability etc. The micro-grid implemented with isolated distributed generators (DGs) of coordinated operation within it. A hybrid system with all available sources of renewable energy such as solar PV, wind, biogas and battery energy storage system (BESS) for the purpose of 24hrs uninterrupted power supply for the no grid or weak grid regions of rural sectors of India has been recently established in IIEST Shibpur. The design and establishment of solar-wind-Biogas with battery energy storage-based hybrid micro-grid system presented. In this paper design, development and installation of micro-grid consisting of 10kWp solar PV plant, 1kW wind generating system, 35 cubic meter bio digester with 15kVA biogas engine and 1kW, 6kWh VRF battery are described.

Scientific and industrial development has given rise to a rapidly increasing energy demand. Alternative and augmented energy resources are expected everywhere due to scarcity and depletion of other non-renewable resources. During recent years wind and solar had emerged as a promising cleaner energy source to offer a favourable solution with better efficiency. Hence, the attention has now diverted towards scaling up of hybrid system of energy generation. Numerous attempts have been taken to demonstrate the technological development concerning the requirement of the region. Whilst some research has already started to evaluate the working of the prototype, insignificant attention has been paid towards it. The current work also focuses on the simulation with hybrid urban renewable energy systems for techno-economic feasibility analysis. There were earlier attempts to report the advancement occurred in the technological, scientific and industrial sector due to hybrid renewable energy system. In some regard, it was an attempt to showcase the modelling of a typical urban requirement in an hourly load profile to identify in the energy potentials of the urban region. These will help to summarize the past, present and future trends of the hybrid energy system design, development and implementation for the urban region, which can be later on replicated to other parts of the world.
