Preface
The global energy demand increases every day with increase in population and modernization of the way of life. The intense economic activity around the world depends largely on fossil fuel based primary energy. The indiscriminate use of fossil fuel based energy has inflicted severe damage to air quality, caused water contamination, and environmental pollution in general. The exploitation of renewable energy sources has been proposed as a solution to encounter the above mentioned global problems. The major problems associated with the exploitation of renewable energy sources are their intermittency, high cost of energy conversion and storage, and low efficiency. In addition, the wide spread utiliza
