Department of Sustaniable and Renewable Energy
The rapid change in technology and lifestyle, have led to a dramatic increase in electricity demand, which can face electric power and urban planners with the challenge of ensuring the sustainable and clean electricity production. With today's' cutting-edge, renewable technologies must propound the sustainability culture in architecture engineering and urban planning, and put forward with the necessary plans. Efficient exploitation of renewable energy technologies for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors in electrical and architecture engineering and urban planning offer the opportunity to diminish energy dependence, ensure efficiency and reliability, reduce pollutant emissions, and a buoyant economy. This special issue aims to present the importance of the state-of-the-art and finding of researchers in the field of renewable energy processes and renewable technologies exploitation on a broad theme. As an essential need for renewable energy technologies deployment for today's societies, we have focused to deal with the research results, review and case studies. Also considers future trends for developing cost-effective renewable energy sources utilization in a way of sustainability in the long run and mitigation of greenhouse gases emissions. Mainly our focused areas are listed as:
- Renewable energy resources and inexhaustible electricity supply
- Sustainable energy and society
- Energy sustainable electric power design
- Sustainable energy economics
- Renewable energy technologies developing trend
- Innovation in renewable energy concepts and physics
- Renewable energy deployment in architectural engineering and urban planning
- Sustainable energy in architecture design and urban planning
- Methods and tools for solar energy design
- Energy efficient building and urban design
- Passive solar architecture
- Harnessing the global warming
Goals:
- To sustain Afghanistan with Renewable energy supplies.
- To create and provide opportunities for Researchers, students and staff engaged in the study of clean energy.
- To enable students and researchers study clean energy in order to be knowledgeable in environmental protection, natural resource preservation, and social responsibilities and solutions.
- To be a premier research and educational resource in solar energy research and engineering in Afghanistan and to train the next-generation workforce in the field of renewable energies based on the power of the sun.
