In the past decade, metal halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention in the field of photovoltaics and light emission due to their superb optoelectronic properties and potentially low manufacturing costs. Perovskite solar cells have shown remarkable progress in recen…
This thesis analyzes the human waste crisis in India. The lack of sanitation facilities as well as open defecation seriously impacts India's ability to achieve its sanitation goals by 2015. More importantly, if the World Health Organization is to meet its Millennium Development …
Labor-related costs account for a large portion of the cost for an average home solar installation. With this beginner-friendly guide, you can save hundreds of dollars setting up your solar system at home. Even if you don't know anything about electricity, you will able to set u…
This book reviews the past and present energy use of society and its future needs. A breakdown of current energy sources shows that approximately 80% of the world's primary energy comes from fossil fuels. The book provides an assessment of the needs to change the way in which en…

In conjunction with the continuity equation, the Cauchy equation forms the basis in formulating existing wind turbine (WT) aerodynamics theories such as the actuator disk (ADT), rotating annular stream-tube (RAST) and blade element momentum (BEMT) theories. An alternative vortex…
The impacts of climate change will exacerbate humanitarian crises at a global level, and there is an urgent need to eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the power system infrastructure. While deploying clean energy resources in the current grid will help in decarbonizat…
Photovoltaics are at the forefront of new additions of renewable energy, driven by rapid integration of new technologies most significantly a transition from traditional Al-BSF to higher efficiency PERC silicon cells. As they are a more modern technology, PERC cells do not have …
Eswatini is a country that is currently highly dependent on South Africa for the supply of electricity. Eswatini imports on average 80% of electricity from South Africa annually. Additionally, Eswatini Electricity Company only utilizes hydropower stations to provide for the elec…
This dissertation encompasses three works on nuclear power plants (NPPs). A theme common to all chapters is the question of why nuclear power has failed to achieve the success envisioned by its proponents, particularly when that success has been achieved at certain times and in …
This Praxis introduces the SAFE-T (Solar Advanced Forecast Expectation Tool) as an approach to improve local area solar energy forecasts using machine learning based techniques in MATLAB. With the increasing cost competitiveness of solar versus diesel electricity production, the…
Photovoltaic (PV) energy represents one of the most importantly clean and cheap energy sources. However, the intermittent behavior of the generated power from PV systems imposes challenges in its design and operation. Due to the internal nature of renewable energy and battery te…
Load forecasting has always been an integral part of plant operation. Energy usage is tied to economics and national prosperity. The power grid is in a perpetual state of balance, with the customers consuming the exact amount of energy the utility provides. Knowing the load fore…
Concerning the fact that the number of wind turbines is increasing worldwide, it seems necessary to implement monitoring systems. To respond to this demand, this PhD thesis studies different fault diagnosis techniques in order to improve the reliability and reduce maintenance co…
As India expanded its grid infrastructure, decentralized renewable energy technologies, such as off-grid solar, also emerged in parallel as an electrification solution. This dissertation critically examines the role of off-grid solar in facilitating rural electrification efforts…
