Photovoltaic electricity generation is a rapidly growing industry, and a key pillar of a decarbonised energy system. In modern solar cells, laser technology is used to form localised structures such as a selective emitter through doping or to locally ablate dielectric layers for…
Photovoltaic electricity generation is a rapidly growing industry, and a key pillar of a decarbonized energy system. Lasers are used to dope the semiconductor layers in solar cells, and it is necessary to passivate these laser-induced structures to prevent premature charge carri…
Metallization is a key step in manufacturing of efficient and reliable solar cells. Written by world-wide renowned experts, this work covers metallization technologies, before describing ongoing R&D activities for the most relevant silicon solar cells metallization technologies.…
Modern power systems are highly complex due to increasing shares of intermittent renewable energy and distributed generation. Research requires computer simulation and modelling, and knowledge of methods and algorithms. This book presents key concepts of modelling and simulation…
This 4th edition of the classic reference on electric fuses has been substantially updated. The contents, data, descriptions and illustrations have been revised, and new topics added including fuses for photovoltaic systems, battery storage and electric vehicles.
In this book, the authors have attempted to present many aspects of electrical steels technology. These range from how their magnetic properties are determined by fundamental principles of magnetism and metallurgical features to their influence on the performance of rotating ele…
To some extent the wave and tidal generation industry is following in the wake of the wind industry, learning from the growing experience of offshore wind farm deployment. This book combines wind industry lessons with wave and tidal field knowledge to explore the main reliabilit…
