Renewable energy alternatives are fast becoming viable options to battle conventional fossil fuel shortcomings such as pollution, cost, and limited reserves. Understanding the requirements and source characteristics for successful power electronics and their application is pivotal to extracting power successfully.Power Converters for Extraction and Conversion of Solar Photovoltaic Energy provides a detailed analysis of the various power converter operations fed by solar PV energies. Practical aspects addressing the behavior of systems such as the operating point on source characteristics and when power converters buck or boost are considered as well, and are fundamental to effective use and applications of renewables.With computer simulation models for typical systems to give the reader a deeper insight and “feel” for the actual system, this book provides readers with a useable tool to develop and design their own systems and achieve successful power extraction.

Uniquely analyzes converters for renewable energy applications alongside practical characteristics of PV sourcesIncludes simulation models of complete systems and solved numerical problems to aid with understanding the dynamics and analysis of renewable sources when integrated with the power convertersFeatures international standards of renewable systems throughout pertaining to the renewable energy system to guide industrial suitable system design

In recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) has reshaped the whole tech-industry to a smart industry with capability of intelligent decision making. However, security, privacy, and interoperability of the connected devices are still the challenges faced by the IoT industry. Blockchain capabilities can help in addressing these challenges. The convergence of blockchain and Internet of Things named as Blockchain of things (BCoT) is a major technical breakthrough that provides basic services with additional functionalities, benefits, and implementations in terms of secure, seamless and autonomous computing environment. Amalgamation of Blockchain and IoT provides benefits in terms of improved and efficient qualities such as interoperability, reliability, scalability, privacy, and security of IoT.The main objective of this book is to avail academicians, researchers, and practitioners a common platform for understanding current state of art development in techniques/technologies from Blockchain and its integration with IoT. All the aspects such as theoretical and practical contributions, simulated works, review, and case studies will be available to the reader which will provide them with a comprehensive guideline to extend the state-of-the-art by developing novel methods for providing solutions for the Blockchain of things. This book:Covers comprehensive and deep understanding of usage of Blockchain for powering up IoT systems.Discusses the latest advancements in architecture, key technologies, security, privacy, service models and frameworks for Blockchain of things.Covers Blockchain consensus algorithms specialized for IoT architectures.Illustrates key case studies based on inherent integration of Blockchain and IoT in various application domains.
