  • Urban Energy Systemsby James Keirstead; Nilay Shah

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 69.95

    Energy demands of cities need to be met more sustainably. This book analyses the technical and social systems that satisfy these needs and asks how methods can be put into practice to achieve this. Drawing on analytical tools and case studies developed at Imperial College London, the book presents state-of-the-art techniques for examining urban... more...

  • Energy from the Desert 4by Keiichi Komoto; Christian Breyer; Edwin Cunow; Karim Megherbi; David Faiman; Peter van der Vleuten

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 150.00

    The fourth volume in the established Energy from the Desert series examines and evaluates the potential and feasibility of Very Large Scale Photovoltaic Power Generation (VLS-PV) systems, which have capacities ranging from several megawatts to gigawatts, and to develop practical project proposals toward implementing the VLS-PV systems in the future.... more...

  • Power Electronic Convertersby Eric Monmasson

    Wiley 2013; US$ 195.00

    A voltage converter changes the voltage of an electrical power source and is usually combined with other components to create a power supply. This title is devoted to the control of static converters, which deals with pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques, and also discusses methods for current control. Various application cases are treated. The... more...

  • Solar Energy at Urban Scaleby Benoit Beckers

    Wiley 2013; US$ 165.00
