In the strictest definition, no. Non-conventional means "defying ordinary logic", while renewable means "sustainable". Technically they are two different concepts.

Renewable energy sources that have existed for a very long time include water power and wood burning. These power sources are not "non-conventional", being the very first ways that people accomplished mechanical work.

By the same token, there are non-renewable energy sources that are quite non-conventional; nuclear power was extremely non-conventional when it was first invented, and many were skeptical and fearful of nuclear power at that time (and some of that sentiment lingers to this day).
