List of websites for energy and power calculation or information


WIND POWER

Windpower.org

This website from The Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) contains a lot of information about windpower.
See particularly their "Windpower Wiki" that is "made for people who want to know a lot about wind energy, but does not hold an engineering degree.". Very instructive!
Check out Windpower.org website.

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC

Photovoltaic-software.com

Website that lists all types of photovoltaic softwares for photovoltaic energy calculation : free, professional or not, on-line or not.
Check out Photovoltaic-software.com website.

PVeducation.org

This website presents all technical aspects of solar photovoltaic energy. Probably the more complete and more pedagogic website about this technology.

IEA Biomass Task 32 : Biomass Combustion and Co-firing

Within the IEA Bioenergy agreement, Task 32: Biomass Combustion and Co-firing works on further expansion of the use of biomass combustion for heat and power generation, with special emphasis on small and medium scale CHP plants and co-firing biomass with coal in traditional coal-fired boilers. This is done by generating and disseminating information on technical and on non-technical barriers and anticipated solutions.
