Renewable Energy Sources and Systems
The chapter describes renewable energy sources, focusing on solar radiation and also addressing geothermal energy, bioenergy, wind energy and hydroenergy. Details on the solar radiation components, on monitoring procedures and equipment and on numerical modelling are discussed as tools for the assessment of the solar energy potential and the available solar energy in the built environment. The factors affecting the solar energy variability in the built environment are outlined considering the available solar radiation on vertical surfaces (facades), on horizontal and on tilted surfaces for buildings specific arrangements. The main solar energy conversion systems (solar thermal and photovoltaic systems) are discussed as individual systems and as part of hybrid thermal systems (including geothermal and bioenergy systems) and hybrid electrical systems (including wind and micro-hydro energy systems) that are recommended to be implemented at building and at the community level. The most common functional schemes of the solar energy conversion systems and of the sustainable energy mixes are detailed considering their components and their role.
