Renewable Energy Systems

Providing updated and state-of-the-art coverage of a rapidly changing science, this groundbreaking new volume presents the latest technologies, processes, and equipment in renewable energy systems for practical applications.

This groundbreaking new volume examines recent advances in the area of renewable energy systems, including modelling and optimisation using different methods like GAMS, HOMER, AI techniques, and MATLAB Simulink, among others. Covering extensively diverse topics ranging from solar radiation prediction models to improving solar power output by studying the tilt and orientation angle of rooftop-mounted systems, a multitude of practical applications is covered, offering solutions to everyday problems as well as the theory and concepts behind the technology. Among these applications are increasing the longevity of PV by studying its degradation and its use by operating an electrolyzer for hydrogen production; using biodiesel as a green energy resource as an alternative to diesel fuel; concentrating the black liquor-based biomass as a source from multiple-stage evaporators along with thermo-vapour compressors; and addressing the real-time problems of modelling and optimising renewable energy sources.

Written and edited by a global team of experts, this groundbreaking new volume from Scrivener Publishing presents recent advances in the study of renewable energy systems across a variety of fields and sources. Valuable as a learning tool for beginners in this area, as well as a daily reference for engineers and scientists working in these areas, this is a must-have for any library.
