Overview

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.

Reviews

Throughout the text, it is abundantly clear the author is a knowledgeable engineer with considerable experience in the diverse sciences and technologies that provide the foundations of wind and photovoltaic power generation. It is also obvious that he is an experienced teacher, because the presentations are technically accurate, well organized, effectively paced, and appropriately targeted for the mid- to upper-level undergraduate student with reasonable technical exposure and interest. I wish I could have had this book when I taught my own alternative energy classes to Mechanical Engineering undergraduates. - K.G. Craig, Journal of Environmental Quality, 2006
