The Performance of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Systems: Modelling, Measurement and Assessment

The Performance of Concentrated Solar Power Systems: Modelling, Measurement and Assessment provides all necessary information on the state-of-the-art of modeling, measurement, and assessment of the performance of CSP components and systems in a comprehensive, compact, and complete manner. As there is no single literature source available for readers looking for a complete overview of the performance assessment tools and methods currently used for concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, this book fills that void. Presents a unique, single literature source for a complete overview of the performance assessment tools and methods currently used for concentrated solar power (CSP) technologyWritten by a team of experts in the field of CSPProvides information on the state-of-the-art of modeling, measurement, and assessment of the performance of CSP components and systems in a comprehensive, compact, and complete manner INDICE: 1.
