| Summary: | Energy is the major driving force for the economy of any nation. The challenge for continuous generation of power to meet the ever growing demand is a daunting task, especially due to limited resources. This collection of peer reviewed papers contains original research articles in different areas of energy efficient technologies such as: Alternate Energy, Building Technologies, Automotive Technologies, Modeling and Design, Manufacturing Systems and Power Systems. We hope that the novel ideas presented in these papers will trigger more application oriented research in relation with latest technology to conserve and sustain energy. Drawn from papers presented at the international conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability in April 2013 at St. Xavier's Catholic College of Engineering in India, these address alternate energy, building technologies, automotive technology, modeling and design, manufacturing systems, and power systems. Other topics include a three-port full bridge and half bridge renewable energy system, a solution method to power electronic interface modeling, a photovoltaic array, models for performance analysis of hybrid voltaic thermal air heating systems, spray characteristics of diesel and biodiesel in a direct injection diesel engine, environmentally friendly aluminum hybrid materials, emission analysis in a diesel engine using biofuel, energy and carbon saving potential in industrial lighting systems, harmony and power factor analysis with a reactor and a capacitor in an adjustable speed drive.
