Modelling, simulating and testing of renewable energy technologies

Renewable energy remains a growth area despite the global recession reducing general demand for energy and prices being considerably lower than when they peaked. While some organisations may have cut back on their research into and development of renewable energies, others remain very active. Compared with conventional power generation systems, those using renewable technologies are far from being mature, which means that successful research and development can be extremely rewarding. And not only is it a matter of refining existing technologies, but there are some areas - such as solar power - where it is thought that new technologies could deliver a step change in the cost-per-watt for the power generated.
