Buch, Englisch, 496 Seiten, Paperback

This comprehensive textbook, now in its third edition, incorporates significant improvements based on the readers' suggestions and demands. It provides engineering students with the principles of different types of grid connected renewable energy sources and, in particular, the detailed underpinning knowledge required to understand the different types of grid connected wind turbines.

New to the Third Edition - Revised Chapter 1 providing considerable amount of current information and technologies related to various types of renewable energy technologies
- One new chapter on 'Electronics in Renewable Energy Systems' (Chapter 15)

Designed as a textbook for Renewable Energy courses offered in the most of the Indian universities, the book not only serves for the one-semester stream-specific course on Renewable Energy or Wind Energy for diploma and senior level undergraduate students of electrical, mechanical, electronics and instrumentation engineering, but also for the postgraduate engineering students undertaking energy studies.
