Über dieses Buch
How to design a solar power plant, from start to finish
In Step-by-Step Design of Large-Scale Photovoltaic Power Plants, a team of distinguished engineers delivers a comprehensive reference on PV power plants—and their design—for specialists, experts, and academics. Written in three parts, the book covers the detailed theoretical knowledge required to properly design a PV power plant. It goes on to explore the step-by-step requirements for creating a real-world PV power plant, including parts and components design, mathematical formulations and calculations, analyses, evaluations, and planning.
The book concludes with a discussion of a sample solar plant design, as well as tips on how to avoid common design mistakes, and how to handle the operation and maintenance of PV power plants.
Step-by-Step Design of Large-Scale Photovoltaic Power Plants also includes:
- Thorough introductions to the basic requirements of design, economic analyses, and investment revenue
- Comprehensive explorations of the requirements for feasibility study and grid connection study
- Introducing solar resource, and determining optimum tilt angle and module inter-row spacing
- Presenting methodology for design of large-scale PV plant, requirements of engineering document, and optimal design algorithm
- In-depth examinations for selecting PV module, inverter, string, and DC side equipment
- Practical discussions of system losses, as well as estimation of yearly electrical energy production, capacity factor, and performance ratio of large-scale PV plant
Perfect for professionals in the solar power industry, Step-by-Step Design of Large-Scale Photovoltaic Power Plants will also earn a place in the libraries of equipment manufacturers and university professors seeking a one-stop resource for the design of PV power plants.

Introduction
1.1 Solar Energy
1.2 Diverse Solar Energy Applications
1.2.1 Solar Thermal Power Plant
- Parabolic Plant The parabolic plant has a linear parabolic collector consisting of few rows of parabolic reflectors. The reflectors absorb the reflected rays of solar radiation and warm up the heat transfer fluid.
- Central Receiver Plant The central receiver plant consists of a set of mirrors, where each separately concentrates solar energy and transmits it to a central receiver tower.
- Parabolic Dish Plant In a parabolic dish plant, the sun's rays reflected on a parabolic surface are concentrated at a focal point. The thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy by a Stirling engine. An electric generator converts the mechanical energy into the electrical energy.
- Solar Chimney Plant In a solar chimney plant, a combination of solar air collectors and air conduction towers are used to produce induced air currents. The currents provide mechanical forces in order to rotate a pressure step turbine coupled to a generator to produce electricity.
- Fresnel Collector Plant The Fresnel collector plant includes flat mirror collectors with low width and long length that collect the incoming sunlight on the concentrator and send it to a receiver tube. The receiver tube heats up the fluid inside the tube.
