PhotovoltaicSystemsEngineeringThird EditionRoger A. MessengerVB Engineering, Boca Raton,Florida, USA

Jerry VentreFlorida Solar Energy Center,Cocoa, USA

Photovoltaic Systems Engineering, ThirdEdition presents a comprehensive engineeringbasis for photovoltaic (PV) system design, so engi-neers can understand the what, why, and howassociated with the electrical, mechanical, eco-nomic, and aesthetic aspects of PV system design.Building on the popularity of the first two edi-tions, esteemed authors Roger Messenger andJerry Ventre explore the significant growth andnew ideas in the PV industry. They integrate theirexperience in system design and installationgained since publication of the last edition.

Intellectual Tools to Help Engineers andStudents to Understand New Technologiesand Ideas in this Rapidly Evolving Field

The book educates about the design of PV sys-tems so that when engineering judgment is need-ed, the engineer can make intelligent decisionsbased on a clear understanding of the parametersinvolved. This goal differentiates this book fromthe many design and installation manuals thattrain the reader how to make design decisions,but not why. The authors explain why a PV designis executed a certain way, and how the designprocess is actually implemented.

In exploring these ideas, this cutting-edgebook presents:

• An updated background of energy production and consumption

• Mathematical background for understandingenergy supply and demand

• A summary of the solar spectrum, how tolocate the sun, and how to optimize the capture of its energy

• Analysis of the components used in PV systems

• Economic and environmental issues in PVdesign criteria

Mathematical and simulation programs—andother programs that unite these two operations—provide the ability to calculate transitional, steady-state processes, stability conditions, and harmoniccomposition, and are often used to analyzeprocesses in power electronic systems.

Electrotechnical Systems: Calculation andAnalysis with Mathematica and PSpice exploresthe potential of two such programs—Mathematicaand ORCAD (PSpice)—as they are used for analysisin various areas. The authors discuss the formula-tion of problems and the steps in their solution.They focus on the analysis of transient, steady-stateprocesses and their stability in non-stationary andnonlinear systems with DC and AC converters. Allproblems are solved using Mathematica, and pro-gram codes are presented. The authors useORCAD (PSpice) to compare the results obtainedby employing Mathematica and to demonstratethe particulars associated with its use.

This book clearly and concisely illustrates repre-sented expressions, variables, and functions andthe general application of the mathematical pock-et Mathematica 4.2 for the analysis of the electro-magnetic processes in electrotechnical systems. Itwill be a valuable addition to the library of anyoneworking with electrotechnical systems.

Electical Power Engineering


ElectricityPricingEngineeringPrinciples andMethodologiesLawrence J. Vogt, P.E.Mississippi Power, Gulfport, USA

A timely and accessible guide for the new industryenvironment, Electricity Pricing: EngineeringPrinciples and Methodologies helps thoseinvolved in both the engineering and financialoperations of electric power systems to “get themoney right” while ensuring reliable electric serv-ice at a fair and reasonable cost.

Explores Both the Business Functions andEngineering Principles Associated withElectricity Pricing

Examining pricing approaches and opportunities,this book presents tools, viewpoints, and explana-tions that are generally not found in contemporaryliterature. It clarifies valuable analysis techniques,realistic examples, and unique lessons passed alongfrom those inside the industry. This “how to do it”guide fosters a multidisciplinary understandingthat integrates information, methodologies, andtechniques from accounting, economics, engineer-ing, finance, and marketing. Detail-oriented butstill mindful of the big picture, this book examinesthe complex relationship between electricity, cus-tomers, and service providers in relation to pricing.Electricity Pricing also:

• Presents mathematical methods and techniques used to establish electricity prices,determine cost causation, and evaluate pricing structures and mechanisms

• Explores ways to translate and integrate costelements into practical pricing structures

• Details how engineering concepts are used toapportion production, delivery, and associatedcosts to determine cost of service and to support all aspects of ratemaking strategy,design, analysis, and decision making

This comprehensive professional referenceaddresses theory but remains grounded in no-nonsense practical applications. It is dually suitedto introduce newcomers to the technical princi-ples and methodologies of electricity pricing andprovide veterans with a valuable consolidation ofadvanced tools for pricing analysis and problemsolving.

Green EnergySustainable ElectricitySupply with LowEnvironmentalImpactEric JeffsBuckinghamshire, UK

Green Energy: Sustainable Electricity Supplywith Low Environmental Impact defines thefuture of the world’s electricity supply system,exploring the key issues associated with globalwarming, and which energy systems are best suit-ed to reducing it.

Electricity generation is a concentrated industrywith a few sources of emissions, which can becontrolled or legislated against. This bookexplains that a green sustainable electricity sys-tem is one whose construction, installation, andoperation minimally affect the environment andproduce power reliability at an affordable price. Itaddresses the question of how to build such anelectricity supply system to meet the demands ofa growing population without accelerating glob-al warming or damaging the environment.

Although they produce no emissions, becauserenewable systems are composed of a largenumber of small units, a considerable amount ofenergy is required to produce, erect, and main-tain them. This book is a response to that conun-drum, answering key questions, such as:

• How can renewables be exploited to contributethe greatest energy input?

• Should coal be used for clean fuel and chemicalproduction rather than for power generation?

• How quickly can we start to build the GreenEnergy system?

Detailing the developmental history, and currentstate, of the global nuclear industry, he discussesthe dire, immediate need for large quantities ofclean, emission-free electric power, for bothdomestic and industrial uses. This book detailshow current technologies—particularly nuclear,combined cycle, and hydro—can be applied tosatisfy safely the growing energy demands in thefuture.

Illustrates Parameter Determination forReal-World Applications

Despite the powerful numerical techniques andgraphical user interfaces available in present soft-ware tools for power system transients, a lack ofreliable tests and conversion procedures generallymakes determination of parameters the most chal-lenging part of creating a model.

Problems-Solving Tools Help You Focus onInformation Collection and CompleteSystem Testing

Power System Transients: Parameter Determin-ation summarizes current procedures and tech-niques for the determination of transient parame-ters for six basic power components: overheadline, insulated cable, transformer, synchronousmachine, surge arrester, and circuit breaker.
