DESCRIPTION:
He is the author of several books on environmental engineering and energy for sustainability.. GILBERT M. MASTERS received his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University and has taught courses there for over three decades on energy and the environment, with an emphasis on efficiency and renewables. He is currently
As the fraction of our power generated by renewable resources increases, the role of demand-side management in helping maintain grid balance is explored.Renewable energy systems have become mainstream technologies and are now, literally, big business. This is an essential resource for a mixed audience of engineering and other technology-focused individuals.. For each topic, essential theoretical background is introduced, practical engineering considerations associated with designing systems and predicting their performance are provided, and methods for evaluating the economics of these systems are presented. New material has been presented both in the form of new topics as well as in greater depth in some areas. Throughout this edition, more depth has been pro
“This book is recommended reading to a wide audience, from engineering students, to working engineers wanting a refresher on renewable energy, to the lay person wanting to inquire deeper into electrical systems.” (IEEE Power Electronics Society Newsletter, 1 September 2013)
Broad coverage of many systems Justin Required for course. Got the kindle version, think the hardcopy might have been easier to read but the search function was useful.. dnparadice said This book is not the best text. I took a renewable energy class that used this book. There are good textbooks and bad ones and this one is the latter. Mr. Masters attempts to cover too many topics in one book and does a poor job at describing any of these topics in enough detail to be . Excellent Book for Power Systems and Renewable Energy Pedro A very solid book for understanding the basics of power systems, including detailed chapters and examples dedicated to the early basics (Ohm's Law, voltage dividers, motors, inductance and capacitance equations) of circuit and E&M theory. The examples pr
