General Description

Energy is a crucial issue of today’s world. The study of energy supply and demand is a critical area which requires close attention especially in meeting the current utilization trends. With the depletion in the production of fossil fuel, along with the alarming environmental problems vis-à-vis global warming, energy studies as a field of research has been able to attract increasing participation from across all the major engineering disciplines. The Energy MOR is supported by three sub-groups: Alternative Energy, Power Systems, and Novel & Hybrid Systems. At present, the main researches under the Energy MOR focuses on hybrid energy systems incorporating various alternative and renewable energy elements, by utilizing the available local resources. The Energy MOR also aims at producing a few Centers of Excellence that would support the need of the nation in relation to energy.
