Sustainable Energy Generation and Storage: Proceedings of Nerc 2022

隨著印度在21世紀快速發展，我們也面臨著能源安全和氣候變化的嚴峻挑戰。工業、農業、交通等各個領域的巨大發展導致對能源的需求急劇增加。通過傳統的化石燃料能源發電來滿足這些需求，導致了大量的排放（包括氣體和液體），對大氣和水生態系統造成了污染。使用可持續和綠色（或可再生）資源和技術為這些問題提供了可行且有前景的解決方案。過去二十年間，印度學術機構在可再生能源資源方面進行了大量的研究活動。這些包括通過生物質的熱化學和生物化學轉換來生產生物燃料（液體和氣體）、通過熱能和光伏路線利用太陽能、風能和水力發電。印度古瓦哈提理工學院組織了2022年東北研究圓桌會議（NERC），旨在匯集科技領域的研究人員，提供一個知識共享平台，實現可持續發展目標。本專著收錄了NERC中可持續能源發電和儲能專題的論文。本專著共收錄了16篇論文，涵蓋了可再生能源的廣泛領域。本專著的內容將對學術機構的學生和研究人員以及工業界感興趣。
