Photovoltaic Systems Engineering for Students and Professionals: Solved Examples and Applications examines photovoltaic (PV) power plants in a holistic way. PV installations of all types and sizes – from the smallest plant element to the largest system components – are approached from an electrical engineering perspective and further explained through worked examples. It presents the different forms of energy and the energy conversions between them in a clear and understandable way. This book is an essential resource for both students and practicing engineers working in the solar photovoltaic areas and critical work for all electrical engineers. Features: Includes over 100 worked examples and more than 80 end-of-chapter problems Presents systematic techniques and approaches to problem solving Includes PowerPoint presentations and a solutions manual for instructors Considers the effects of environmental conditions on the performance of PV systems Presents step-by-step design of photovoltaic systems of all sizes from scratch
This book presents basic and advanced concepts for energy harvesting and energy efficiency, as well as related technologies, methods, and their applications. The book provides up-to-date knowledge and discusses the state-of-the-art equipment and methods used for energy harvesting and energy efficiency, combining theory and practical applications. Containing over 200 illustrations and problems and solutions, the book begins with overview chapters on the status quo in this field. Subsequent chapters introduce readers to advanced concepts and methods. In turn, the final part of the book is dedicated to technical strategies, efficient methods and applications in the field of energy efficiency, w...

In the years between the first and this second edition, renewable energy has come of age; it makes good sense, good government and good business. This book considers the unchanging principles of renewable energy technologies alongside modern application and case studies. In this second edition, the presentation of the fundamentals has been improved throughout, and chapters on economics and institutional factors have been added. Likewise, sections on environmental impact have been added to each technology chapter. Renewable Energy Resources supports multi-disciplinary.
This comprehensive textbook, now in its second edition, provides engineering students with the underlying principles of different types of grid connected renewable energy sources and, in particular, the detailed knowledge required to understand different types of grid connected wind power plants. The text includes 260 illustrations. The relevant pictures, tables, graphs and ample worked-out examples will aid learning. Software-based computer simulation examples of grid connected wind electric generators are provided. A chapter on small wind turbine technologies is also included.
Fuel cell systems have now reached a degree of technological maturity and appear destined to form the cornerstone of future energy technologies. But the rapid advances in fuel cell system development have left current information available only in scattered journals and Internet sites. The even faster race toward fuel cell commercialization further
