Academic Press Decision Science and Operations Management of Solar Energy Systems

Decision Science and Operations Management of Solar Energy System looks beyond developing a solar power plant by also considering the requirements necessary to manage effective power plant operation for the long-term. This book includes data of solar power plants and quantitative techniques of statistical analysis used to inform decision-making for solar energy systems, thus enabling readers to predict future individual solar power system forecasts using different technical and financial parameters. Including data visualization, descriptive statistics, sampling techniques, plant layout, manufacturing economics, inventory management and total quality management of solar energy system, this book covers new insights as well as established fundamentals. The detailed information in this reference bridges the gap between theory and practice in the operation of solar energy systems for researchers, professionals and students working in the area of solar and renewable energy.
