Renewable Energy By Godfrey Boyle Third Edition

Be introduced to the essential theoretical background of renewable energy sources as well as practical engineering considerations associated with designing renewable energy systems and predicting their performance.

Be introduced to grid integration problems of renewable energy sources, e.g. uncertainty and variability. You will also be introduced to relatively newly emerged concepts, such as microgrids and demand response.
