Although there are many publications about energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies, most of them are specific to some countries or regions. As most of these publications focus on country and region specific issues, they may not be preferred in teaching the energy related policies in a university not from that country or region. The author has been teaching a course called “Energy Laws and Policies” for a long time. Over the years, she prepared detailed lecture notes about energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies which are the basis of this book. It can be used by instructors around the World, or by students/individuals who want to learn more about these policies. It is aimed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate, and graduate level students. The book includes the definitions, types, advantages/disadvantages of energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies in general. It also provides a comparative analysis on energy efficiency and renewable energy policy preferences of different countries. It will help the students to better understand the major differences between policies, how they are applied and which policies should be preferred under which conditions.

The transition to renewable energy is essential for ensuring energy supply, and to mitigate environmental effects of fossil fuels, particularly climate change. However, because renewable energy resources do not provide a constant supply of energy and they are not sufficiently portable for many applications, the development of energy storage methods is necessary. The book reviews historical and current energy use, as well as provides predictions for future energy demands. The main sources of renewable energy are introduced including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels, along with an analysis of the need for energy storage.

Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35–40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration for a given set of optical tolerances. This means that it has the potential to revolutionize the design of solar concentrators. In this monograph, the basic practical applications of the techniques of nonimaging optics to solar energy collection and concentration are developed and explained. The formalism for designing a wide variety of concentrator types, such as the compound parabolic concentrator and its many embodiments and variations, is presented. Both advantages and limitations of the approach are reviewed. Practical and economic aspects of concentrator design for both thermal and photovoltaic applications are discussed as well. The whole range of concentrator applications from simple low-concentration nontracking designs to ultrahigh-concentration multistage configurations is covered.Table of Contents: Introduction / CPCs / Practical Design of CPC Thermal Collectors / Practical Design of CPC PV Concentrators / Two-Stage Nonimaging Concentrators for Solar Thermal Applications / Two-Stage Nonimaging Concentrators for Solar PV Applications / Selected Demonstrations of Nonimaging Concentrator Performance / The Importance of Economic Factors in Effective Solar Concentrator Design / Ultrahigh Concentration / Bibliography

This book provides innovative methods for simulating, modeling, and controlling photovoltaic systems. The authors introduce a modeling strategy including eight linear models pondered by nonlinear weighting functions that are calculated dynamically based on extreme temperature and irradiance values. The authors demonstrate how the parameters of each model are harnessed to develop a partial PI controller aimed at commanding the corresponding model to achieve the desired performances swiftly and precisely. The books goes on to show how merging the gains of the partial PI controllers with the nonlinear weighting functions, the PI controller gain for the PV system can be effectively determined. The authors present the results of simulation performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment to demonstrate the model's ability to depict accurately the behavior of the PV system across all operative zones and under varying climatic conditions. Furthermore, the authors show how the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PI controller in swiftly and precisely tracking the maximum power point while maintaining stability and canceling ripples.

Natural hydrogen (H2) holds significant promise as a clean and renewable energy source that helps achieve a net-zero carbon future. However, the study of natural hydrogen reservoirs (NHRs) remains in its early stages, limiting their exploration and development. This book provides a comprehensive review of NHRs, including their geological occurrence environments, formation mechanisms, enrichment processes, advanced exploration and production technologies, and influencing factors. Although high concentrations of natural hydrogen have been identified globally, only the Bourakebougou hydrogen field in Mali has reached commercial production. This book outlines the current understanding of natural hydrogen systems, highlighting recent advancements, key challenges, and prospects for future energy supply. It provides a systematic examination of geological origin, accumulation, and preservation conditions of natural hydrogen, along with reservoir-forming processes, global distribution patterns, detection technologies, and future outlook. To unlock the full potential of NHRs, continued progress in geological exploration, detection, and extraction technologies is essential, along with a deeper understanding of hydrogen genesis and trapping mechanisms. Future research should focus on improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen recovery, enhancing storage and transport solutions, and ensuring environmental and operational safety. Achieving a sustainable, hydrogen-powered future requires an interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from geology, geoscience, engineering, and policy. This book aims to serve as a valuable reference for researchers, industry professionals, and decision-makers committed to advancing this emerging field of clean energy.
