Anything on Energy storage solutions. Especially for off grid and micro generation situations. Developing energy storage systems for off-geneartiontimes such as night use of PV energy will be a key factor for the future of renewable energies as well as achieving renewable goals of reducing fuel poverty.

Good luck with your efforts

work on combustion efficiency improvement for biomass feedstock

You can also try to work on heat transfer mechanism of various energy conversion device (Fuel Cell, Thermoelectrics, Solar cell), and optimization of the some properties based on it.

Hello everybody,

I want to take research work in renewable energy topic but not getting exact idea about how to start it. any suggestion is welcome.

you are from mechanical background, so why you not started to think conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. There are many source to do work over on it, like wind energy, energy generation by frictions(Mechanical aspect),if material point of view, then piezoelectric devices.

choose projects on solar .....like making of solar cells,solar cookers ,solar pumping....

thanx for ur suggestions guys...

i will look at them...

combine the solar and wind power models to get a better and new design..that u can in a low cost...

Conversion of solar energy into electricity (not the direct method) , use of concave polished surface to concentrate solar power to a point on focus and if a metallic pipe containing some oil is placed ,it could get amazingly heated up and this can be used to make steam and then a steam engine can be used to convert this steam to mechanical energy with the help of turbines and then to electrical energy with the help of dynamo !!

Start to look for what the potential of renewable energy resource and how the people used it then develop the suitable energy technology for you people (simple to build and mantanent)

work on Power generation from Solar PV and Wind turbine ,,,,or u can work on the design of wind turbines helical structures etc.

Hi work on Solar dryer to dry greens and fruits during the high season. I did it in my final year but it did not work as expected but the main reason why it did not work was due to lack of required materials

RE :i m looking for an innovative topic to make it as my final year project of mechanical engineering

I would look at analysing the transient response of structures - as a final year project you could start the analysis and continue it through to post.grad. The main problem will be in finding a tractable form to the input to the DE's.

Actually you would talk

See man i too am a fourth yr student of mechanical engineering. U can work on utilizing the blowing wind created by moving cars for the generation of electricity by connecting wind turbines in electric poles.

modelling of fuel cells powered by renewable sources. models of solar pv in SIMULINK especially the thermal model since temperature affects the pv performance.

The air flows iduced by different solar heating of the ground. (Winds) As probably you know wind near lakes or seas flows differently from day to night because the difference of heating between ground and water

If the field of solar power generation using heliostats in some area in the vicinity of where u live so as to justify setting of a solar-power based thermal power plant..

thanxx..to all for your kind suggestion ,,, and sorry I would have not responded previously ,,.....

because I was buzzy with my jobs ..Now I am having a good job ....in solar technology ,,,, and SOLAR having great future,,, :)

Hi can you suggest recent research topic related to green energy building or solar Technology ?

Develop a concept for a low-energy dehumidifier. This is the biggest energy consumer in my house in the summer months (I don't use an air conditioner). solar PV, ground-coupled (using cool well water), solar-charged dessicant, acoustic refrigerant....?
