The book provides a comprehensive review of developments in all aspects of solar photovoltaic technology in a single volume. It discusses maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for achieving maximum possible power, robust control to maintain stable operation under varying internal as well as the ambient environment, inverter control for constant frequency operation, and automating the maintenance of photovoltaic solar plants. This book: • Presents modeling methods based on mathematical and physical principles for solar photovoltaic cells, power quality analysis of rooftop grid-connected PV, and PV generation analyzed by bidirectional long short-term memory networks (BiLSTM) to evaluate the performance reliability of the bifacial module and the control system of the synchronous reference CCVSI for active power injection. • Provides an overview of SPECS control, various control loops, control algorithms, controllers, and their impact on the prosumer and the smart grid and discusses instantaneous power theory (pq theory). • Covers control techniques of power electronic converters, optimization techniques, and management of the grid-connected solar PV arrays, qualification testing of bifacial modules as per IEC- 61215: 2021 and IEC 61730, including analytical approach elaborated for the performance of a building-integrated solar PV/T system. • Discusses and comprehensively reviews degradation mechanisms, characterization techniques, and occurrence frequencies based on field testing, long-term analyses of PV installations, harmonic compensation, and the enhancement of Power Quality for the entire system, a novel approach of developing an effective and systematic brownout procedure and a novel game theory auctioning framework for trading energy in smart grids and explains Gbest-guided Artificial Bee Colony (GABC) optimization. • Includes real-life case studies. It will serve as an ideal reference text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, environmental engineering, and renewable energy.

Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
