This book includes data of solar power plants and quantitative techniques of statistical analysis used to inform decision-making for solar energy systems, thus enabling readers to predict future individual solar power system forecasts using different technical and financial parameters. Including data visualization, descriptive statistics, sampling techniques, plant layout, manufacturing economics, inventory management and total quality management of solar energy system, this book covers new insights as well as established fundamentals.
The detailed information in this reference bridges the gap between theory and practice in the operation of solar energy systems for researchers, professionals and students working in the area of solar and renewable energy.
- Features a pre-feasibility assessment of a solar system by data visualization
- Details the technical parameters of a solar system by probability and sampling techniques
- Analyzes the relationship between different parameters of a solar system
Renewable energy and environmental engineers working in solar energy academia and industry. Students of Master of Technology in the field of renewable energy and engineering students of electrical and mechanical streams
