Abstract

Energy demand has increased enormously, and the consumption of fossil fuels and nuclear energy has caused many environmental problems. In fact, fossil fuels are exhaustible, polluting and rather expensive. However, the development of clean and renewable energies such as wind, biomass, geothermal and photovoltaic, are a promising solution to overcome problems of conventional energy sources.
