Wind and solar energy are pollution-free sources of abundant power. The recent technological breakthroughs have made them highly competitive with conventional coal and nuclear power, and organizations in Europe, Africa, India, China, and South America are all building utility-scale wind and solar power plants. Since publication of the first edition of Wind and Solar Power Systems, this industry has continued to boom, making this update necessary. With reorganization and the inclusion of new chapters and sub-chapters that describe new technologies developed during the last five years, the second edition will continue to provide a quick update on the cutting-edge technology of renewable power systems.

Samenvatting:€In just the last few years, the increase in worldwide photovoltaic (PV)shipments has grown from 15 to 25 percent per year. Grid-connectedapplications have surpassed stand-alone applications, system componentshave realized significant improvements, and major efforts are underway tobuild a quality control infrastructure for PV systems. Such rapid growthand evolution continues to put engineers skilled in PV systems at apremium.Thoroughly updated, Photovoltaic Systems Engineering, Second Editionoffers a practical engineering basis for PV system design. It providesquick exposure to all system building blocks, then examines both the whysand hows of the electrical, mechanical, economic, and aesthetic aspectsof PV system design-why certain designs are done in certain ways and howthe design process is implemented. Students mastering the contents ofthis book will have the engineering judgement needed to make intelligentdecisions based on a clear understanding of the parameters involved in PVsystems.
