Alternative energy in power electronics / edited by Muhammad H. Rashid, Fellow IET (UK), Life Fellow IEEE (USA), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of West Florida, USA

Contributor(s): Rashid, Muhammad H. (Muhammad Harunur), 1945- [editor.].
Material type: TextTextPublisher: Amsterdam ; Boston : Elsevier/Butterworth-Heinemann, [2015]Description: xiv, 363 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.ISBN: 9780124167148 (pbk.).Subject(s): Power electronicsDDC classification: 621.317
Contents:
Machine generated contents note: Power Electronics for Alternative Energy: An Overview of Technologies, Methods and Challenges Alternative Energy Sources Photovoltaic System Conversion Wind Turbine Applications High-Frequency Inverters for PV, Wind, Fuel Cells and Energy Storage Applications Energy Storage Electric Power Transmission .
Summary: "In today's industrialized world, energy became vital to all human activities including manufacturing, data processing, heating, cooling, lighting, transportation, food processing, etc., yet it is invisible for most of us. Today's energy generation technologies are undergoing a paradigm shift; the solution to our current dilemma requires more renewable contribution as well as the more efficient utilization of conventional energy sources. Recognizing this importance, this chapter focuses on energy sources and energy generation technologies including, coal, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, wind, ocean, and several others. Alternative energy technologies received great interest in recent years due to environmental impact, greenhouse gas emissions, national energy security, and increasing cost of fossil fuel based sources. With particular emphasis on renewable and alternative energy systems, characteristic features of the renewable energy sources have been reviewed. Since power electronics is a key enabling technology for renewable energy utilization, power electronic converters and interfaces that are used for grid interconnection and stand-alone operation have been presented"-- Provided by publisher.
