Renewable Energy Systems : Modeling, Optimization and Applications

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 modeling and optimization using different methods like GAMS, HOMER, AI techniques and MATLAB Simulink, and others. Covering extensively diverse topics ranging from solar radiation prediction model to improving solar power output by studying the tilt and orientation angle of rooftop-mounted systems, a multitude of practical applications are 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 evaporator along with thermo-vapour compressor, and the real-time problems of modeling and optimizing 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.
