Electricity and Electronics for Renewable Energy Technology

An Introduction

About this book

Electricity and Electronics for Renewable Energy Technology: An Introduction provides a foundational understanding of electricity and the methods and devices specific to electricity from renewable sources.

The book begins with a brief explanation of the necessary mathematics and then:

  • Addresses the basics of electricity and relationships, motors and generators, transformers, and networks and distribution
  • Tackles the key concepts associated with electronics, diodes and transistors, switching devices, and power converters
  • Covers digital electronics from number systems and logic circuits to encoders and decoders
  • Explores advanced subjects such as reactive power and the operation of a transistor


A lab manual andPowerPoint presentation are available with qualifying course adoption.

Featuring extensive review questions and practice problems at the end of each chapter, Electricity and Electronics for Renewable Energy Technology: An Introduction instills an essential knowledge of electricity and electronics required for work with renewable energy.

we 
be 
concerned 
about 
energy?
2. 
Is 
electric 
energy 
the

energy 
we 
need?
3. 
If 
we 
have 
only 
electric 
energy 
(suppose 
sometime 
in 
the 
future), 
is 
it 
responsive 
to 
all 
our 
needs? 
Explain.
4. 
Presently, 
what 
are 
the 
sources 
of 
energy?
5.
