(Power Systems) 1st ed. 2021 Edition
by Ibrahim Moukhtar (Author), Adel Z. El Dein (Author), Adel A. Elbaset (Author), Yasunori Mitani (Author)
This book opens with a brief introduction to renewable energy and the advantages of solar energy systems, an overview of concentrated solar power (CSP) system technologies and modeling, and the application of artificial neural network (ANN) technologies in various solar field systems. Later chapters cover data and operation methods of central tower receiver power plants (CTRPP), important models of ANN techniques used in solar energy fields, accurate methods for modeling CTRPP, the economics of solar energy systems, the CSP impacts on the penetration level of photovoltaic (PV) systems, and a look at the reliability of systems using case studies on PV systems and hybrid PV and CSP systems.
- Provides an introduction to renewable energy and the advantages of solar energy systems
