Our research focuses on Renewable Energy Technologies, covering specialized fields such as sustainable power solutions, intelligent grid systems, innovative wind power generation methods, energy storage solutions, efficiency-enhancing systems, and advanced nanomaterials. We also explore fuel cell technology, energy-conscious building designs, phase change materials (PCM), as well as piezoelectric and thermoelectric energy collection systems. Our work includes engine emission reduction techniques, the creation of optically accessible and high-performance engines, along with both traditional and cutting-edge engine instrumentation. We conduct thermofluid modeling, simulations, and experimental research in energy and fluid dynamics. Furthermore, our studies encompass distributed energy system power management, real-time scheduling, and optimization for next-generation smart grids. We investigate sophisticated power electronics and control mechanisms for microgrids, energy storage system integration with power networks, and smart meter data analysis using machine learning for improved energy efficiency. Additional areas include assessing electric vehicles' grid impact, intelligent charging solutions, and dynamic wireless charging systems for optimized infrastructure management.
