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.

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.

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.

Distribution System Analysis and Automation is a comprehensive gude to the techniques that allow engineers to simulate, analyse and optimise power distribution systems.

A complete guide, this book presents industrial microwave heating from an engineering base and integrating the essential elements of microwave theory and heat transfer with practical design, application and operational issues.

This book describes the principles of solving various problems in power engineering via the application of selected metaheuristic optimization methods including genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and the gravitational search algorithm.
