CRC Press, Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2009, 328 pages High temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology is a promising power generation option that features high electrical efficiency and low emissions of environmentally polluting gases, such as CO2, Nox, and Sox. The technology is ideal for distributed stationary power generation applications where both high efficiency electricity and high quality heat are in strong demand. For the pa...

The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2009. 272 p. ISBN:0863419585, ISBN:9781849191166. Over several decades, models, techniques and application tools were developed that recognised the central nature of generation, and there are many excellent texts that relate to and describe the assessment of such systems. However, some very specific features of distributed generation, namely that large numbers of relatively small generators are dis...

CRC Press, Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2010, 554 pages Wind power generation is fast becoming one of the leading renewable energy sources worldwide. Reliability of power supply is one of the main issues for wind energy systems, and so improved stand-alone and hybrid wind energy systems are being developed, incorporating advanced energy storage and grid integration systems, in order to increase power generation rates and to provide secure power...
