Description du produit
Revue de presse
"In an era of ′bad′ science encountered almost daily in publications and the media, it is refreshing to find this work of solid engineering excellence." (CHOICE, February 2005)
" this book has much to offer...it gives the patron excellent background and practical current information. It is highly recommended..." (E–STREAMS, February 2005)
Quatrième de couverture
Engineering for sustainability is an emerging theme for the twenty–first century. On campuses, new courses on renewable and efficient power systems are being introduced, while the demand for practicing engineers with expertise in this area is rapidly increasing. Written both for professionals seeking a self–study guide and for upper division engineering students, Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems is a design–oriented textbook that gives readers a comprehensive understanding of distributed power generation systems and renewable energy technologies. Numerous worked examples in the text illustrate the principles, while problems at the ends of each chapter provide practical applications using realistic data.
The author begins with an overview of the development of today′s electric power industry, including the historical and regulatory evolution of the industry, and provides an introduction to the technical side of power generation, including the basics of electric and magnetic circuits, three–phase power, and thermodynamics. After introducing conventional steam–cycle, gas–turbine, combined–cycle, and cogeneration power plants, he leads the reader into emerging technologies including:
- Distributed generation technologies for combined heat and power, including fuel cells, microturbines, Stirling engines, and reciprocating internal combustion engines
- An introduction to the range of renewable technologies, including concentrating solar power (cSP) dish and trough systems, micro–hydropower, and biomass systems
- Economic analysis of renewable and combined heat and power systems
- Wind power, from single, home–size wind turbines to large wind farms
- Solar energy, with equations for estimating solar resources at any location and time
- Photovoltaic (PV) systems grid–connected, roof–top designs, off–grid stand–alone systems, and PV water pumping systems
While assuming no prerequisites, the book provides enough technical background to enable the reader to do first–order calculations on how well systems will actually perform. Throughout, techniques for evaluating the efficiency and cost–effectiveness of the technologies are provided.
Comprehensive and clearly–organized, Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems prepares engineers to make their own contribution, and build their careers, in one of the most exciting, beneficial, and high–profile areas of endeavor in engineering today.

Prof. Masters assumes nothing of the reader and takes her/him through a narrative that is just so-perfectly blended with rigorous, yet first-order analytical methods to enable the joyous discovery and lucid understanding of most of the major renewable sources of energy - from the gusty wind to the brilliant sun. He explains, proves and illustrates the logic, the math and the mechanics of the what, why and how it all works. He then gets under the hood and crunches the numbers (the economics) of if, when and where it all makes sense.
For instance, he'd prove Betz's law for the maximum efficiency of a wind turbine or derive the average wind power with a Rayleigh p.d.f by totally simplifying the convoluted math and soon follow it up with a practical example of whether it makes economic sense for a farmer to lease his land to a wind farm. Every concept is suffused with first-rate real-world examples:
* should a house in Boulder, CO use a single-axis tracker for a photo-voltaic installation? How about Madison, WI?
* what is the carbon spewed out by a coal-fired power plant? How does that compare to a combined cycle natural gas plant?
In addition to a fair amount of coverage of various renewable and distributed energy resources, a complete soup-to-nuts analysis of photo-voltaic design, sizing and analysis is presented. And it doesn't stop there. Energy efficiency is a major theme - ever heard of absorption cooling? All of this material is developed in the context of `basic electricity' that powers and runs most everything today (except vehicles of course, but that's also soon coming...) The beauty of it all is the seemingly effortless simplicity in which the concepts are explained/analysed without sacrificing rigor - it just flows!
In this age of hype and bias, a certain amount of disinformation coming from the media is understandable. But, living in Silicon Valley, I find it amusing to hear even respectable venture capitalists touting/undermining this technology or that without getting their facts/numbers right - perhaps they are vested or they are simply clueless, like I once was and still continue to be often. Whereas, having earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, Prof. Masters has spent his entire lifetime around these issues (has been there, done that) and has distilled the better part of some of what he's learned into this book. Reading it is a bit like peering into a beautiful mind, indeed. Whether you are a serious student out to change the world, an academic do-gooder, a VC moneybag, a hobbyist moonlighter, I cannot recommend this book enough. It is by far, the best such introductory text in this field.
