Today, renewable energy is a crucial research topic as the sustainable provision of energy for a growing world population and diminished natural resources become increasingly urgent issues. Here, more than a dozen expert-authored studies demonstrate new thinking and emerging trends in the field, offering an up-to-date picture of the field. In the first part, new trends and applications are explored. The contributors present their findings on topics including developments in energy policies, the characteristics of biodiesel fuels, data acquisition in photovoltaic systems, and design of hybrid renewable energy systems. In part two, the modelling and optimization of renewable energy systems are to the fore. Here, the reader will find new insights into topics including solar energy drying systems, photovoltaic systems, exergoeconomics of thermal power plants, desalination, the modernization of nitric acid plants, and the design of hybrid wind-diesel systems. Drawing on practical studies from settings as diverse of Canada, Turkey and Tanzania, this is a wide-ranging book that will appeal to readers at all levels in the field of energy technologies who are seeking the latest knowledge and ideas for future development.
