Control of Solar Energy Systems details the main solar energy systems, problems involved with their control, and how control systems can help in increasing their efficiency. Thermal energy systems are explored in depth, as are photovoltaic generation and other solar energy applications such as solar furnaces and solar refrigeration systems. This second and updated edition of Advanced Control of Solar Plants includes new material on: solar towers and solar tracking; heliostat calibration, characterization and offset correction; solar radiation, estimation, prediction, and computation; and integrated control of solar plants. This new edition contains worked examples in the text as well as proposed exercises and simulation models and so will be of great use to the student and academic, as well as the industrial practitioner.

Pia Marais' semi-autobiographical debut feature recounts the adolescence of Stevie (Ceci Schmitz-Chuh), a resourceful 14-year-old girl who finds methods of her own to cope with the unstable upbringing afforded her by her hippy parents. When the family moves to a small town in Germany, Stevie attempts to forge a normal life for herself.

The Storyteller, a man who has hailed from a mysterious plane of existence by the name of Earth has decided to finally tell the stories surrounding it to the young and impressionable children of Bathum. Despite how young and frail he looks, the children have grown to respect their protector and entertainer, but it's only a matter of time before he has to leave, and the Storyteller knows that. His collection of short stories span multiple different times and places throughout Earth, maybe even above the world itself, but they all carry that need for strength that he's trying to get through to the children. If he's not there to protect them, then they must protect themselves.
