Written by a worldwide expert on nuclear energy, this book is a concise but thorough work on fusion-fission hybrid technology. Chapters review nuclear fission and fusion principles, then explore how to use surplus neutrons from fusion to assist with fission processes, and how to obtain the necessary deuterium and tritium.

The 2nd edition of the reference on protection of electrical power systems using computer-based methods. It covers the algorithms underlying protection techniques. The new edition offers a revision and additional material including comparison between algorithms, system identification, and networks with renewables.

Wind Power Integration provides a wide-ranging discussion on all major aspects of wind power integration into electricity supply systems. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to take account of the significant growth in wind power deployment in the past few years.

A concise work on photovoltaics research, development and operation in desert regions to tap their enormous solar potential. Chapters cover energy yield under desert conditions, cells and bifacial modules, soiling, a case study from Australia, conclusions and future outlooks.

Modern power systems are highly complex due to increasing shares of intermittent renewable energy and distributed generation. Research requires computer simulation and modeling, and knowledge of methods and algorithms. This book presents key concepts of modeling and simulation of power systems.

Wind energy is a pillar of the emerging clean energy system. This volume, written by industry experts, is the complete reference on how to configure efficient wind turbine systems, focusing on the components in the nacelle and the drive train.

Bifacial Photovoltaics: Technology, applications and economics provides an overview of the history, status and future of bifacial PV technology with a focus on crystalline silicon technology, covering the areas of cells, modules, and systems. In addition, topics like energy yield simulations and bankability are addressed.

If there are two phrases we have come to know very well, they are 'environmental awareness' and 'credit crunch'. The world is looking for ways to decrease the emission of CO₂ into the atmosphere, without incurring major costs in doing so.
