First Virtual International Conference on Advances in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems (ICARSES 2020) December 3 – 5, 2020 Edited by Dr. M. Cheralathan (Chairman) Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, SRM Institute of Science of Technology, Kattankulathur, India Renewable energy sources are hygienic sources of energy that have a much lesser negative environmental impact than conventional fossils energy technologies. The most significant feature of renewable energy is its plentiful supply and is infinite in comparison to energy from the depleting fossil fuels. Hence an awareness about renewable energy and energy conservation has to be created globally and use of renewable, environmentally friendly and energy efficient technologies have to be promoted. Collaborative efforts for promoting research between Institutions and Industry on new energy efficient products and technologies at national and international level will help in achieving sustained energy transition. As an initiative in creating awareness on these challenges, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, SRMIST is conducting the first virtual International Conference on Advances in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems (ICARSES 2020) during 3rd to 5th December 2020.ICARSES 2020 focuses on a range of issues related to various renewable and sustainable energy like Solar, Wind, Biogas, Geothermal, Biomass etc. The purpose of the conference is to bring together the multi - disciplinary community of engineers, scientists, and academics to discuss recent trends and future developments in Renewable Energy.
