De la contraportada

Hybrid Energy System Models presents a number of techniques to model a large variety of hybrid energy systems, in all aspects of sizing, design, operation, economic dispatch, optimization and control.

The authors present a number of new methods to model hybrid energy systems and several renewable energy systems including photovoltaic, solar plus wind and hydropower, energy storage, and combined heat and power systems. With critical modelling examples, global case studies and techno-economic modelling integrated in every chapter, this book is essential to understanding the development of affordable energy systems globally, particularly from renewable resources.

With a detailed overview and a comparison of hybrid energy systems used in different regions, as well as innovative hybrid energy system designs are covered, making this book useful for practicing power and energy engineers needing answers for what factors to consider when modeling a hybrid energy system and what tools are available to model hybrid systems.
