This Sustainable Energy Laboratory manual contains detailed information on several carefully planned experiments on Renewable Energy .For each experiment, the details, like its aim, expected outcome, theory, the equipment used, measurement methodology, results are given. Significant effort has gone into preparing lab manual and Renewable Energy experimental setups. I request the readers to go through this manual with dedication so that after learning, you can train several other people and thus contribute to the development of renewable energy in the world.

Solar Photovoltaic research has been receiving increasing attention throughout the world as solar energy must play a much greater role in the future energy mix. This book examines new research in this frontier field. This book is a simple, practical guide to use solar panels for testing the effect of dust on photovoltaic PV systems performance. It also covers their performance evaluation .It also explains how dust effects the photovoltaic panels performance and how they can be reduced. It provides a step by step guide to successfully test the performance of photovoltaic solar system using...

Microbial and plant fuel cell represents a new type of green technology for electricity generation. In this book, batch production of electricity using river water sediment and plant sediment is reported .Experiments were conducted in a single chamber microbial fuel cell and plant fuel cell to study the amount of electricity produced. The study revealed that river water sediments and plants could be used effectively for direct electricity generation in single dedicated fuel cell. Plant fuel technology is still in an early stage of development but shows great promise as new method for...

This study focuses on the performance of existing lighting installation in the classroom of Energy Centre, MANIT, Bhopal. A detailed lighting audit is carried out by photometric lumens method to achieve/optimise the lighting system. The performance of existing lighting installation has been assessed based on installed efficacy (Lux/W/m2) and Installed Load Efficacy Ratio. Efficient lighting could be achieved by replacement of high power consumption lamps with energy efficient lighting. In a different method, Installed lumens in a classroom are compared with the required lumens and accordingly...
