HANDBOOK OF RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY & SYSTEMS
edited by Ramesh C Bansal (University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates & University of Pretoria, South Africa) & Ahmed F Zobaa (Brunel University, UK)
Worldwide, the effects of global warming, pollution due to power generation from fossil fuels, and its depletion have led to the rapid deployment of renewable energy-based power generation. The leading renewable technologies are wind and photovoltaic (PV) systems. The incorporation of this generation of technologies has led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate renewable generation into power system networks.
The Handbook of Renewable Energy Technology & Systems covers various aspects of renewable Energy Wind, Photovoltaic, Micro-grid, Power Electronic Applications, Power Quality, Protection of Renewable Distributed Generation, etc.
Readership: Researchers and professionals working in the field Renewable Energy, Wind, PV, DG, Microgrid, Smart Grid, Power Systems.

ESSENTIALS OF PIEZOELECTRIC ENERGY HARVESTING
by Kenji Uchino (The Pennsylvania State University, USA)
Piezoelectric energy is a renewable alternative energy source that operates on a smaller scale than renewable energy generation plants which generate Mega–Giga Watts of power. Its potential to “eliminate” contemporary batteries, which are classified as hazardous wastes, makes it an important technological advancement in a world increasingly concerned about eliminating waste, increasing sustainability and shifting to more “green” consumption habits.
Key Features
• This textbook was written for undergraduate, graduate students, university researchers, and industry engineers studying or working in the fields of “piezoelectric energy harvesting systems” in order to provide the essential knowledge to conduct the reader’s research • This book is NOT an overall review of this area, but criticizing some of them, and introduce the reader to the correct research direction
Readership: This textbook is suitable for university professors, industrial executive officers who are in charge of research direction/strategy in developing piezoelectric energy harvesting systems, graduate students, and industry senior engineers who work practically with piezoelectric energy harvesting systems.
