Toward Better Photovoltaic Systems: Design, Simulation, Optimization, Analysis, and Operations is a comprehensive introduction to simulation and design with a particular focus on optimization, analysis, evaluation, parameter estimation, and defect detection. It offers an in-depth analysis of the major applications of different optimization and design techniques.
This book:
Systematically introduces design, simulation, optimization, analysis, and operations combined with the latest techniques and methods, with an emphasis on sustainability.
Extends PV power research by addressing trends in technologies, application of optimization algorithms in PV technologies, and efficient design and assessment.
Provides an effective assessment framework focused on sustainability
Researchers working on related energy issues for both private and public organizations and technicians and technology consultants in institutes, laboratories, R&D companies, manufacturing, and production factories will all find this a useful resource.
Preface
Developing photovoltaic (PV) systems with high efficiency and low cost is a significant challenge for both academics and industries since it is an interdisciplinary topic that requires the expertise and collaboration of multi-dimensional fields (e.g., material, physics, mathematics, control, and engineering).
Toward Better Photovoltaic Systems aims to provide a compilation of recent advances and progress in the study of PV systems that systematically addresses the challenges by introducing state-of-the-art methods for simulation, modeling, optimization, assessment, and operations. These chapters aim to answer three fundamental questions in detail:
What are the core theories and concepts for PV systems?
What are the tools and models that can be used to assess and design PV systems?
What algorithms and strategies are recently proposed to optimize PV systems?
This book not only enables readers to better understand the background knowledge of PV systems, but will also help them to find optimal solutions to their theoretical/practical problems from the principles of process system engineering or operations research. Therefore, it is of interest to graduate and postgraduate students, plant engineers, and practitioners in private/government agencies.
