This book outlines the global opportunity to increase solar photovoltaic (PV) plant energy yields through modelling and analysis. Because it is endlessly available in Earth’s atmosphere, solar PV energy extraction is rising faster than all other renewable energy sources worldwide. Thus, technological improvements are needed to lower the cost of solar PV per watt every year. Since solar PV efficiency is low, modelling and analysis of boost converters, maximum power point tracing, solar PV cleaners, irradiation tracing systems, and panel tilt adjustments all help increase solar PV plant energy yield. Solar Photovoltaic System Modelling and Analysis covers topics such as: Relevance, types, and growth rate of renewable resources How solar PV systems generate electricity Panel varieties and their importance Solar PV designs and architectures Charge controllers, including the latest technologies Boost converter modelling and analysis in MATLAB The necessity of hybrid power plants (modelling and analysis) Designing a solar PV system including panel selection for a specific application, as well as converter and inverter estimation
Renewable energy sources are currently a particularly pressing need as we all have become addicted to the usage of electrical energy. The extraction of fossil fuels has to be reduced as they are depleting at an ever-increasing rate, which is due to the increase in population and the subsequent rapid urbanization. As a consequence, research into both power-saving electrical appliances and feasible energy sources is ongoing. Thus, it is necessary that future energy sources should be reliable, renewable and eco-friendly. This book includes discussion about renewable energy resources like wind and solar power plants and a comparison between renewable and non-renewable energy sources with valid data from various case studies. In addition, the impact of fossil-fuelled power plants on the environment is discussed and real-time datum from the energy audit of solar power plant are given. The advantages of renewable resources over conventional ones are also explored in detail.

Much attention has been given to the increasing number of defects on building facades in relation to the construction industry's growing use of large panel curtain walls. This book highlights the various types of defects commonly found on building facades under tropical conditions. The facade elements discussed include natural stone, glass, metal sheeting, plaster and tiling. The causes of defects, such as poor workmanship, inadequate design and maintenance, inappropriate use of materials and the action of environmental agents, are evaluated. The typical problems highlighted include cracking, water penetration, misalignment, sealant defects, discoloration, staining, efflorescence, corrosion and tile delamination. The causes of these defects and their implications for design, construction and maintenance are described. Illustrated with many photographs, this book will be a useful guide both to practising professionals and to undergraduate and graduate students.
