Synopsis

Advanced Renewable Energy Conversion Technologies and Power Plant Engineering provides a one-stop resource that covers advanced renewable energy conversion and power plant engineering, offering a practical applications-oriented approach. The book begins by introducing renewable energy, basic thermodynamics, energy conversion, and power plants. This is followed by in-depth chapters that cover a specific renewable energy source and their conversion and power plant integration, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydroelectric, ocean energy, solar, photovoltaics, solar thermal, and wind. Finally, energy storage technologies are considered. Throughout the book, chapters are supported by modeling, performance analysis, and case studies.

It will support anyone with an interest in renewable energy, energy conversion technologies, and power plant engineering, including advanced students, researchers, faculty, scientists, engineers, R&D, industry personnel, and policymakers.

• Combines renewable energy conversion technologies and power plant engineering in one place
• Covers all renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, bioenergy, geothermal, hydro, and more
• Provides guidance on suitable power plants for each renewable energy source
