The book is aimed mainly at students, engineers, researchers and others with technical interests wanting to obtain a basic knowledge of renewable energy production. It describes the most important technical systems for using renewable energy sources, and introduces important calculation and simulation methods for these. The main focus is on technologies with high development potentials such as solar thermal systems, photovoltaics and wind power.
