This book provides a quantitative yet accessible overview of renewable energy engineering practice and the technologies that will transform our energy supply system over the coming years. Covering wind, hydro, solar thermal, photovoltaic, ocean and bioenergy, the text is suitable for engineering undergraduates as well as graduate students from other numerate degrees. The technologies involved, background theory and how projects are developed, constructed, and operated are described. Worked examples of the simple techniques used to calculate the output of renewable energy schemes engage students by showing how theory relates to real applications. Tutorial chapters provide background material, supporting students from ... Read more

Reviews for Renewable Energy Engineering
'This is a concise and very 'user friendly' book on renewable energy. The science of different sources of renewable energy has been explained very well in separate chapters with the use of great worked examples and diagrams. The last two chapters which are on electrical energy systems and the economics of renewable energy projects make this a very well-rounded book. ... Read more
