Review Amorphous and Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cells: Modeling, Materials and Device Technology (Electronic Materials: Science & Technology) / Springer:

Amorphous and Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cells: Modeling, Materials and Device Technology provides a comprehensive overview of materials for application in thin film solar cells. It is the first book that compares experimental and computer-modeling methods, combining the state of the art in technology with the latest insights in device modeling. A wide range of experimental issues are explored, from materials and basic device physics of thin film solar cells to potential mass production facilities for solar panels. The modeling section presents an approach to integrated optical and electrical modeling of complete devices, including optical light trapping, and describes the physical materials parameters related to amorphous silicon that are crucial for successful modeling. The increasing importance of multijunction cells with different bandgap components for thin film silicon cells is reflected in a description of the latest breakthroughs acquired experimentally and by modeling. Concluding chapters describe what can be learned from combined modeling and device fabrication, indicating potential future methods of amorphous silicon solar cell optimization. This book will prove invaluable to researchers in the amorphous and microcrystalline silicon field and the physical and experimental approaches will be of interest to researchers investigating solar cells or other film devices for large area applications.

Review CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics / CRC-Press:

Thermoelectrics is the science and technology associated with thermoelectric converters, that is, the generation of electrical power by the Seebeck effect and refrigeration by the Peltier effect. Thermoelectric generators are being used in increasing numbers to provide electrical power in medical, military, and deep space applications where combinations of their desirable properties outweigh their relatively high cost and low generating efficiency. In recent years there also has been an increase in the requirement for thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices) for use in infrared detectors and in optical communications. Information on thermoelectrics is not readily available as it is widely scattered throughout the literature. The Handbook centralizes this information in a convenient format under a single cover. Sixty of the world's foremost authorities on thermoelectrics have contributed to this Handbook. It is comprised of fifty-five chapters, a number of which contain previously unpublished material. The contents are arranged in eight sections: general principles and theoretical considerations, material preparation, measurement of thermoelectric properties, thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric generation, generator applications, thermoelectric refrigeration, and applications of thermoelectric cooling. The CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics has a broad-based scope. It will interest researchers, technologists, and manufacturers, as well as students and the well-informed, non-specialist reader.

Review Power Systems Harmonics: Computer Modelling and Analysis / Wiley:

Deregulation has presented the electricity industry with many new challenges in power system planning and operation. Power engineers must understand the negative effect of harmonics on an electrical power network resulting from the extensive use of power electronics-based equipment. Serving as a complete reference to harmonics modelling, simulation and analysis, this book lays the foundations for optimising quality of power supply in the planning, design and operation phases. Features Include: * MATLAB function codes to aid the development of harmonic software and provide a hands-on approach to the theory presented. * Insight into the use of alternative, increased efficiency, harmonic domain techniques. * Examination of the harmonic modelling and analysis of FACTS, along with conventional and custom power plant equipment. * Clear presentation of the basic analytical approaches to harmonic theory and techniques for the resolution of harmonic distortion. Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in electrical engineering will benefit from the unique combination of practical examples and theoretical grounding. Practising power engineers, managers and consultants will appreciate the detailed coverage of engineering practice and power networks world-wide.

Review Computer Relaying for Power Systems (Electronic and Electrical Engineerin Research Studies Electronic Circuits and Systems Series) / John Wiley & Sons Inc:

Equipment for computer relaying is now beginning to be installed on power systems throughout the world. Such relays, in addition to providing protection for power apparatus and systems, add a new capability to the protective equipment of the substation: the ability to communicate with the other local and remote computer systems. Through this ability, many novel ideas can be realised, such as the newly initiated field of adaptive relaying. The authors have worked in the area for 20 years and have originated many new ideas that have led to successful field applications.
