Download or read book Power Systems and Renewable Energy written by Gary D. Price and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar and wind energy systems have flourished throughout the United States in the last few years as the public calls for reduced dependence on foreign oil. This has stimulated the growth of an industry that provides wind and solar systems, and many small businesses have sprung up to install these systems. Training programs and courses are now ubiquitous as the demand for designers and installers increases. This book provides a resource for engineering students interested in the design and operation of solar electric, solar thermal, wind, and other renewable systems. While there are many good reference books on power systems and renewable energy, this book integrates the engineering basics of existing power systems with design problems and solutions using renewable energy sources. The author includes chapters on concepts and background review. Details of photovoltaic and wind systems as interconnected or stand-alone designs, estimating and predicting energy production using industry distribution functions and online programs, and concepts of temperature coefficients, synchronization, power conversion, and system protection are explained and illustrated. The book is a very “hands-on” practical guide, structured to motivate you to experience the design and installation process.

Download or read book Electric Renewable Energy Systems written by Muhammad H. Rashid and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This derivative volume stemming from content included in our seminal Power Electronics Handbook takes its chapters related to renewables and establishes them at the core of a new volume dedicated to the increasingly pivotal and as yet under-published intersection of Power Electronics and Alternative Energy. While this re-versioning provides a corollary revenue stream to better leverage our core handbook asset, it does more than simply re-package existing content. Each chapter will be significantly updated and expanded by more than 50%, and all new introductory and summary chapters will be added to contextualize and tie the volume together. Therefore, unlike traditional derivative volumes, we will be able to offer new and updated material to the market and include this largely original content in our ScienceDirect Energy collection. Due to the inherently multi-disciplinary nature of renewables, many engineers come from backgrounds in Physics, Materials, or Chemical Engineering, and therefore do not have experience working in-depth with electronics. As more and more alternative and distributed energy systems require grid hook-ups and on-site storage, a working knowledge of batteries, inverters and other power electronics components becomes requisite. Further, as renewables enjoy broadening commercial implementation, power electronics professionals are interested to learn of the challenges and strategies particular to applications in alternative energy. This book will bring each group up-to-speed with the primary issues of importance at this technological node. This content clarifies the juncture of two key coverage areas for our Energy portfolio: alternative sources and power systems. It serves to bridge the information in our power engineering and renewable energy lists, supporting the growing grid cluster in the former and adding key information on practical implementation to the latter. Provides a thorough overview of the key technologies, methods and challenges for implementing power electronics in alternative energy systems for optimal power generation Includes hard-to-find information on how to apply converters, inverters, batteries, controllers and more for stand-alone and grid-connected systems Covers wind and solar applications, as well as ocean and geothermal energy, hybrid systems and fuel cells
