first-of-its kind smart mini-grid in India.
She has handled more than 15 projects as technical lead and has
co-authored a book titled Renewable Energy Engineering and
Technology: A Knowledge Compendium where she has written a chapter
on solar photovoltaic. She has contributed more than 15 papers,
which were published in reputed national and international journals
as well as around 15 invited and featured articles and more than 5
patents applied for in her credit. She represents various national
level technical committees as solar PV experts and is a life member
of various professional and academic organizations.
Professor Tariq Muneer, Professor of Energy Engineering at Napier
University, Edinburgh currently chairs an active group engaged in
research on ‘Sustainable Energy’. Professor Muneer is an
international authority on the subject of solar energy and its use
in buildings with over 35 years experience. He is the author of
over 215 technical articles, most of which have been distilled in
his research monographs. Professor Muneer is also a visiting
professor for the period of 2013-2020 for the following the
University of Granada, Granada, Spain and the University of
Maribor, Celje campus, Slovenia.
Professor Muneer is the co-ordinator of Chartered Institution of
Building Services Engineers’ Solar Data Task Group and in this
capacity he has been involved in the production of the CIBSE
GuidesA& J for Weather and Solar Data. Professor Muneer has also
been employed both by the government and industry as a consultant
on a large number of engineering projects. Professor Muneer has
been awarded several prestigious awards including the Royal Academy
of Engineering Industrial Fellowship (2000-02), the Royal Academy
of Engineering Engineers Secondment Overseas (1995), the Leverhulme
Trust (1989) and the University College, Oxford/General Electric
Company (1989) Research Fellowships. He is also the recipient of
the Osmania University’s Karamat Jung Gold Medal (1974), CIBSE
Carter Bronze Medal (1990), CIBSE Napier Shaw Bronze Medal (1999),
Millennium Commission’s Fellowship Award (1999), Walsh-Weston
(Society of Light & Lighting, London) Award (2002), Services to
Industry Group’s Proof of Concept award (2003) and the Scottish
Green Energy, Highly Recommended Best Renewable Award (2006).
Under Professor Muneer’s supervision 3 MPhil and 28 PhD candidates
have successfully gained their awards. A further five doctoral
programmes are currently underway.Professor Muneer has been a PI
for one EPSRC grant that dealt with solar radiation and daylight
modelling and a co-investigator for two further EPSRC grants that
dealt with the subject areas of ‘climate change’ and ‘decentralised
grids’. He has several research monographs and books in his
credit
Professor (Dr) Mohan Kolhe is with the University of Agder (Norway)
as full professor in electrical power for smart grid and renewable
energy in the Faculty of Engineering and Science. He has also
received the offer of full professorship in smart grid from the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He has more
than two decades academic experience at international level on
electrical and renewable energy systems. He is a leading renewable
energy technologist and has previously held academic positions at
the world's prestigious universities e.g. University College
London(UK / Australia), University of Dundee (UK); University of
Jyvaskyla (Finland); Hydrogen Research Institute, QC (Canada) etc.
He was also a member of the Government of South Australia’s
Renewable Energy Board (2009-2011).
His academic work ranges from the integration of renewable energy
systems, smart grid, integrated renewable energy systems for
hydrogen production, fuel cell applications for small cars,
techno-economics of energy systems, solar energy engineering, and
development of business models for distributed generation and also
did extensive teaching in the area of renewable and electrical
energy systems engineering and economics.
He has been successful in winning research funding from prestigious
research councils (e.g. EPSRC, BBSRC, EU, NRP, etc.) for his work
on sustainable energy systems. He has published extensively in the
area of energy systems engineering. He has been invited by many
international organizations for delivering expert lectures /
courses / key note addresses. He has also been member of many
academic promotional committees.
