Principles of Solar Engineering

---

Principles of Solar Engineering, Fourth Edition addresses the need for solar resource
assessment and highlights improvements and advancements involving photovoltaics
and solar thermal technologies, grid power, and energy storage.
With updates made to every chapter, this edition discusses new technologies in
photovoltaics, such as organic, dye-sensitized, and perovskite solar cells, and the
design of solar systems and power plants. It also features battery energy storage for
distributed and bulk storage and electrical integration with the main solar systems.
In addition, the book includes the latest advancements in concentrating solar power
plants, such as supercritical CO2
cycle. Readers will benefit from discussions of the
economics of the solar energy systems, which apply to all the systems covered in the
subsequent chapters.
Features
• Discusses new forecasting models in solar radiation that are important to
the economics and bankability of large solar energy systems, such as power
plants.
• Includes expanded coverage of high-temperature thermal storage for
Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (CST), including thermal energy trans
port using heat exchangers.
• Features a new chapter on solar seawater desalination.
• Includes new and additional end-of-chapter example problems and exercises.
• A Solutions Manual will be available for instructors.
The book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students
taking Energy Engineering and Solar Energy courses.
