Sustainable Advanced Solar Passive House provides a platform to
disseminate knowledge regarding the basics of solar energy, heat
transfer, and solar houses, including designing concepts. Apart
from a brief introduction to solar physics and thermodynamics, the
book primarily deals with the technical description of solar houses
and associated concepts. Different types of photovoltaic modules
and their integration with the buildings are discussed with case
studies, including energy balance equations and fundamental energy
matrices. It discusses concepts like energy matrices, solar passive
heating/cooling, architecture design, low-cost building,
energy/exergy analysis, building integrated photovoltaic, and
energy conservation.
This book covers topics related to climate change, weather,
greenhouse effect, solar energy, various cycles including carbon,
hydraulic, sulphur, renewable energy conservation, ecology and
sustainable environment. The contents of the book include
pedagogical elements, such as exercises, tables and figures at
appropriate places in each chapter, including problems and
objective questions at end of each chapter, to aid in learning.
Further, the unit conversion from FPS system to SI unit of each
parameter, namely length, energy, power, velocity and pressure
force, etc, and some standard constants used in examples are also
provided in the book. The book also includes discussion about
renewable energy sources, namely solar energy, wind energy, biomass
energy and geothermal energy, etc, their availability and
eco-friendly nature. This book can be a useful reference for those
in academia and industry.
This book discusses topics such as solar energy, heat transfer,
solar cell and photovoltaic module, greenhouse-integrated
semi-transparent photovoltaic thermal (GiSPVT) system for
agriculture and aquaculture, GiSPVT solar dryer, and PVT water and
air collector for water heating, air heating, biogas heating and
swimming pool heating, etc. The book also discusses energy
matrices, including EPBT, EPF, and LCCE. It includes pedagogical
elements such as exercises, tables, and figures including problems
and objective questions at the end of each chapter. Further, it
includes the unit conversion from FPS system to SI unit of each
parameter, namely length, energy, power, velocity, pressure force,
etc., and some standard constants used in examples. Quasi steady
state and periodic modeling of PVT technology described in the book
is a useful reference for students, researchers, and academicians
to design solar energy-based technology.
This book is an ideal reference text for teaching renewable energy
to engineering and science students, as well as a reference book
for scientists and professionals doing self study on the subject.
The book has twelve chapters and starts with the definition and
classification of renewable and non renewable energy and their
status at global level. This chapter also contains the basic heat
transfer mechanisms and laws of thermodynamics. It then deals with
availability of solar radiation at different latitudes and energy
and exergy analysis of flat plate collector, solar air collector,
solar concentrator, evacuated tube collector, solar water heating
system, solar distillation and solar cooker. The following chapter
discusses the basics of semiconductor, its characteristics,
working, characteristics of solar cell in dark and daylight
situation, fundamentals of characteristic curves of semiconductor,
fundamentals of PV module and array and some PVT systems. Detailed
discussion on biomass, bio-fuels and biogas and their applications
and the power produced by them, namely bio-power, is covered in the
following chapters. Other renewable energy sources like hydropower,
wind and geothermal are then covered as well as a chapter dealing
with the working principle, basic theory and the capability to
produce power from ocean thermal, tidal, wave and animal energy
conversion systems. Subsequently, net CO2 mitigation, carbon
credit, climate change and environmental impacts of all renewable
energy resources are all covered followed by a discussion on the
techno-economic feasibility of any energy sources as the backbone
of its success and hence energy and economic analysis. The chapters
deal the overall exergy of renewable energy sources by using the
thermal and mechanical power and electrical energy as output. SI
units are used throughout the book in solving various exercises in
each chapter and conversion units of various physical and chemical
parameters of metals and non-metals are also given in appendices.
Solar photovoltaics is one of the most promising renewable energy
technologies, producing electricity on site directly from the solar
radiation without harming the environment and depletion of
materials. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPVT)
system is a technology which merges PV and thermal systems,
simultaneously providing both electric and thermal energy. Through
this combination more energy is generated per unit surface area in
comparison to the standalone photovoltaics system. Benefits of the
BIPVT system include significantly increased electrical
performance, faster payback than traditional systems, negligible
impact on the environment and the product is easier and less
expensive to install with low maintenance required. This book
describes the recent developments in PV technologies, solar
radiation available on the earth, various BIPVT systems and their
applications, energy and exergy analysis, carbondioxide migration
and credit earned, life cycle cost analysis and life cycle
conversion efficiency. Presently there is no single book which
covers all the basic and the advanced concepts related to the
implementation of solar energy for the passive heating and cooling
of the building. In addition to the basic concepts, the book
includes the technology advances, modelling and analysis and
ongoing research in the area of BIPVT. Key features of book
include: -Solar heating and cooling concepts -Thermal comfort
-Performance analysis of BIPVT system -Worldwide case studies
-Energy payback period -Techno-economics and sustainability of the
system The book, written by experts in the field with years of
research and teaching, is intended for the specialists, scientists
and people involved in research in the disciplines of renewable
energy, energy studies, building energy or carbon credit. For the
practicing professional, advanced senior or graduate student with
work experience, the book should be used as part of an integrative
program enabling them to make deep linkages and thus better
decisions in the professional world.
Presently there is no single publication available which covers the
topics related to photovoltaic (PV) or photovoltaic thermal (PV/T)
technologies, thermal modelling, CO2 mitigation and carbon trading.
This book disseminates the current knowledge in the fundamentals of
solar energy, photovoltaic (PV) or photovoltaic thermal (PV/T)
technologies, energy security and climate change and is aimed at
undergraduate and postgraduate students and professionals. The main
emphasis of the book is on the design, construction, performance
and application of PV and PV/T from the electricity and thermal
standpoint. Hot topics covered in the book include: energy security
of a nation, climate change, CO2 mitigation and carbon credit
earned by using PV or PV/T technologies (Carbon Trading). This
information will prove helpful in filling the gap between the
researchers and professionals working on the application of
photovoltaic and global climate change. It also covers economic,
cost effective and sustainable aspects of photovoltaic
technologies. The book gives a detailed history of the new
technological developments in PV/T systems worldwide with system
photographs and references and elaborates on the fundamentals of
hybrid systems and their performances with thermal modelling.
Energy and exergy analysis, techno-economic analysis and carbon
trading are key chapters for research professionals. The book also
includes important case studies to aid understanding of the subject
for all readers.
