Preface
Effects of environmental, economic, social, political and technical factors have led
to the rapid deployment of various sources of renewable energy-based power gen-
eration. The incorporation of these generation technologies have led to the devel-
opment of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate this new form of
generation into the power work. This book, arranged into six sections,
tries to highlight various renewable energy based generation technologies.
