Photovoltaics, the direct conversion of light to electricity, is set to become one of the established sources of energy for the future. A renewable energy source, solar electricity is both environmentally friendly and economically valuable. This text gives a concise and authoritative account of solar photovoltaics. With strong emphasis given to practical applications, the authors cover solar radiation, solar cells and photovoltaic engineering. The environmental impacts of photovoltaics are analyzed in detail and the book concludes with an introduction to a range of more advanced topics including large PV systems, photovoltaics under concentrated sunlight and alternative storage. This text forms part of the UNESCO Energy Engineering Learning Programme, which has been established to train power engineers to meet today's and tomorrow's challenges in this field.

Photovoltaics, the direct conversion of light into electricity, is set to become an important means of power generation. The environmental benefits provided by solar electricity are manifest. This book explains the history, present status and future of this exciting renewable energy source. All aspects of photovoltaics are considered with strong emphasis given to practical applications. This comprehensive text: . Provides an analysis of the geographical effects of solar electricity. Readers are shown how the available solar radiation data can be used to determine the solar energy supply for a given location. Considers the principles of photovoltaic energy conversion alongside the solar cell operation in practice. The manufacture of the most commonly used solar cells - crystalline silicon and thin films - is described in detail. Describes photovoltaic engineering, taking a look at the structure of a photovoltaic system, photovoltaic generator, energy storage, power conditioning and control, and the question of sizing. Deals with the environmental impacts of photovoltaic technology. The environmental costs of photovoltaics and the need for environmental assessment of energy sources are analysed in detail. Discusses a range of important advanced topics such as: large photovoltaic systems, photovoltaics under concentrated sunlight, and the hydrogen economy. Includes useful self-assessment question and answer sections at the end of each chapter. Written by a team of experts in the field, this text will appeal to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in power engineering, mechanical engineering and physics. Practising power engineers will also find this comprehensive text aninvaluable reference source. Autor: K. Bogus Fecha: 1994-07-26 ISBN: 9780471941613. Codice articolo 20230905310
