• Grid-Connected Solar Electric Systems by Geoff Stapleton; Susan Neill

  ISBN: 9781135069100

  Publication Date: 2012-11-12

  Solar electricity or photovoltaics (PV) is the world's fastest growing energy technology. It can be used on a wide variety of scales, from single dwellings to utility-scale solar farms providing power for whole communities. It can be integrated into existing electricity grids with relative simplicity, meaning that in times of low solar energy users can continue to draw power from the grid, while power can be fed or sold back into the grid at a profit when their electricity generation exceeds the amount they are using. The falling price of the equipment combined with various incentive schemes around the world have made PV into a lucrative low carbon investment, and as such demand has never been higher for the technology, and for people with the expertise to design and install systems. This Expert handbook provides a clear introduction to solar radiation, before proceeding to cover: electrical basics and PV cells and modules inverters design of grid-connected PV systems system installation and commissioning maintenance and trouble shooting health and safety economics and marketing.

  ISBN: 9789819746385

  Publication Date: 2024-08-25

  This book consolidates studies in the rapidly and foreseeably growing field of battery management. The primary focus is to overview the management of batteries (Li-ion batteries and some cases of flow batteries) with the fusion of mechanism and AI-based approaches. The book can be categorized into three groups, i.e., (i) mechanism and AI-based battery modeling and parameterization, (ii) AI-based diagnostic, early warning, and active safety control, and (iii) emerging techniques of smart battery and smart management, combining the emerging areas of embedded sensing and reconfigurable batteries. It is well recognized that the battery safety and management are the kernel of energy storage, renewable utilization, and low-carbon society, which have been highly popular in recent years. The exploration of AI techniques for advanced battery management has been seldom discussed systematically before. Moreover, the combination of AI and mechanism approaches can remarkably enhance the battery management, which however has never been focused on in previous books. Therefore, this book can add new knowledge to the paradigm and attract the attention of academics, scientists, engineers, and practitioners. It is a reference book for researchers and engineers in related fields. The step-by-step guidance, comprehensive introduction, and case studies make it accessible to audiences of different levels, from graduates to experienced engineers.

• Solar Decathlon by Melissa DiGennaro King; Richard James King

  ISBN: 9781040025314

  Publication Date: 2024-04-22

  This book is an inspirational story about how an idea got started, hit the ground running, and took flight. Solar Decathlon (SD) was a response to the need for innovative solutions to address a global problem--climate change. Richard King believed a collegiate competition that encouraged creative ingenuity could help transform traditional ways of designing and building houses. His idea was to motivate students to work together to craft unique sustainable, net-zero energy dwellings. Competing teams would display their prototypes in a single location as an educational showcase to the public. Following the inaugural competition and recurring events in Washington, DC, SD spread to multiple locations around the world. This historical narrative with stunning photos is a comprehensive source of information about the inception, development, and growth of Solar Decathlon.
