Read Powering Clean Energy Solutions eBook

Engineers and scientists are hard at work improving the practicality, cost-efficiency and accessibility of green energy solutions, allowing us to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Several options have emerged as feasible alternatives, including solar, wind, tidal and hydrogen power.

However, with new solutions and technologies come new challenges. Wind turbines, for instance, require protection from lightning, and their maintenance can be both demanding and costly, so it is crucial that components have a long lifespan. Additionally, many renewable energy sources, such as solar power, are intermittently available, necessitating the development of new battery technology. The creation of new technologies also warrants carefully assessing their environmental impacts to avoid also creating new problems.

As engineers and scientists face these challenges, simulation technology is there to help. Using modelling and simulation, designs can be evaluated in a virtual setting and optimised to meet specific goals. This ebook features six inspiring stories of engineers and scientists who harnessed multiphysics simulation to bring their innovative ideas to life, each contributing to the advancement of clean energy solutions and a greener future.
