Abstract

A critical overview of renewable energy is provided, including descriptions of renewable energy sources, technologies, assessments, comparisons and planning as well as energy technologies that facilitate renewable energy sources. The renewable energy types considered include solar, wind, geothermal, bioenergy and waste-derived energy, ocean thermal energy, tidal, wave and hydraulic. Also covered for contextual and broader purposes are energy systems more generally and their sustainability. In addition, recent research on new renewable energy sources as well as important recent developments in renewable energy are considered.

Highlights

  • Sunlight and heat from the sun are converted and received in the ambient environment in a number of ways, resulting in fossil fuels and renewable energy flows

  • Fossil fuel reserves are decreasing over time and their utilization leads to pollution that harms ecosystem and human health and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are linked to global warming

  • Technologies facilitating renewable energy use are described such as multigeneration, integrated energy systems, district energy, energy storage, and hydrogen and fuel cell systems
