Overview

Alternative energy sources are forms of energy that do not depend on conventional fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. They include renewable resources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, geothermal, and biomass energy, which can be replenished naturally and generally produce fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than fossil combustion. Adoption of these sources is central to efforts to reduce air pollution, limit climate change, and build more sustainable and resilient energy systems. As a research area within Energy Conservation, the study of alternative energy spans how such sources are harnessed, converted into usable electricity, integrated into homes and grids, and evaluated for efficiency, cost, and local impact. Work relevant to this topic in the Journal of Energy Conservation includes a mathematical analysis of alternative power systems for a northern Wisconsin home, evaluation of a non-isolated DC-DC boost converter for interfacing a solar photovoltaic panel, and an acoustic study confirming tonality at residences near wind turbines. Collectively these reflect both the engineering of renewable generation and the practical considerations of deploying it near where people live. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the topic.
