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

Mil Colinas is a NGO founded in 2011 in order to contribute to the battle against inequality. Mil Colinas mediates between northern and southern countries in order to further social development. It is an educative project which started with 30 children and has grown to almost 200 people in addition to three Rwandese educators. Due to the fact that the current room is too small to carry out the activities, there is a clear necessity for the association to have its own space.
Last summer (2015), I went to Rukara, the Rwandese village in which Mil Colinas operates. I began taking its measurement and shortly after the land was purchased. The current project plan is to utilize solar energy for the school's main source of power.
During the period in which I was there, several facilities were visited (mainly schools and the health centre of Rukara) and some of them are already working with photovoltaic energy. Meetings took place around the country with key energy businesses in East Africa, such as Mobisol. Also the educators and children who are involved in Mil Colinas were directly contacted in order to understand and record the needs and desires they have for the new school.
With all the necessary data from this African country, an off-micro grid has to be designed for the current project. This grid provides the required energy (mainly for lights and laptops) through a photovoltaic system and accumulators.
Initially, it was necessary to measure the consumption as well as the solar irradiation in the area. Several hypothesis were created; taking into account different weather and other assumptions.
Following the hypothesis, some simulations were run in Python in order to plot the charge level of the batteries per hour throughout the whole year. Having these results, some decisions could be taken in account in relation to the quantity of the photovoltaic panels and the batteries with the help of the tool Solver in Excel. The wiring was also calculated as well as the optimum angle for the electrical generators. The system is optimized regarding the economical plan. Several plans were made with AutoCAD are attached as well as the 3D views of the school made with SweetHome3D.
As result of this project, there is an installation which will work in 48 V before the inverter and in 230 V upstream; 10 photovoltaic panels of 295 W each and 12 batteries of 200 Ah of capacity. Each unit is part of the installation along with the inverter and the controller. Initial investment reaches $12,257.67 but it is necessary to have a budget of $19,800.89 in total to assure the proper function during at least 24 years.

This book provides the most up-to-date information on hybrid solar cell and solar thermal collectors, which are commonly referred to as Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems. PV/T systems convert solar radiation into thermal and electrical energy to produce electricity, utilize more of the solar spectrum, and save space by combining the two structures to cover lesser area than two systems separately. Research in this area is growing rapidly and is highlighted within this book. The most current methods and techniques available to aid in overall efficiency, reduce cost and improve modeling and system maintenance are all covered. In-depth chapters present the background and basic principles of the technology along with a detailed review of the most current literature. Moreover, the book details design criteria for PV/T systems including residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Provides an objective and decisive source for the supporters of green and renewable source of energy Discusses and evaluates state-of-the-art PV/T system designs Proposes and recommends potential designs for future research on this topic.

Hernieuwbare energie zit duidelijk in de lift. Waar zowat 10 jaar geleden enkel de zogenaamde «geitenwollensokkendragers» met hernieuwbare energie bezig waren, is de sector nu «big business» geworden. Ondanks de economische crisis van 2009 blijft ze een van de sterkst groeiende sectoren. De groeicijfers inzake biomassa, wind- en zonne-energie zijn zonder meer duizelingwekkend. Bedrijfsleiders ontdekken namelijk steeds meer dat investeren in hernieuwbare energie ook fi nancieel erg rendabel kan zijn. Gelet op de grootte-orde van de investering en de specifieke materie, is het van het hoogste belang om goed geïnformeerd te zijn. Welke vorm van hernieuwbare energie is mogelijk op uw bedrijf? Wat is het ideale geïnstalleerd vermogen van de installatie? Welke technische aspecten zijn van belang? Welke subsidies kunt u krijgen? Hoe maakt u een correcte kostenbatenanalyse? Op al die vragen vindt u een antwoord in dit boek.

[5e éd.] Plus de 80 % de l'énergie utilisée aujourd'hui dans le monde provient de gisements de combustibles fossiles (charbon, gaz, pétrole) ou d'uranium. Ces gisements sont épuisables alors que l'énergie fournie par le soleil, les chutes d'eau, la croissance des végétaux, les marées, la chaleur de la terre est renouvelable. Si l'utilisation de ces énergies (auxquelles on associe souvent celle tirée des déchets) n'est évidemment pas nouvelle, elle représente aujourd'hui près de 14 % de la production mondiale d'énergie et pourrait, selon certains scénarios, atteindre 50 % au milieu du XXIVe siècle. Cet ouvrage propose un tableau précis des diverses sources d'énergies renouvelables actuelles, explique les modalités de leur production, présente les lieux où elles sont utilisées et la quantité d'énergie qu'elles fournissent à ce jour.
