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.
