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.

PV performance modelling collaborative - SANDIA project

Sandia National Laboratories is facilitating a collaborative group of photovoltaic (PV) professionals (PV Performance Modeling Collaborative or PVPMC). This group is interested in improving the accuracy and technical rigor of PV performance models and analyses, Their goal is to assemble and organize the most complete, transparent, and accurate set of information about PV system performance modeling.

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.
