Solar Thermal Energy Systems: Fundamentals, Technology, Applications

從太陽能熱利用的物理基礎到家庭和發電廠技術領域的實施，這本書涵蓋了太陽能熱利用的各個方面。本書提供了從太陽輻射的基礎知識到新應用的深入分析。討論的主題包括被動方面、系統中的能量和動量傳輸、低溫系統的主動利用以及發電廠技術的實施。書中還描述了過去使用的概念、特點以及與發電廠週期的連接，同時介紹了潛在的儲能方法。

Prof. Dr. rer.nat. Werner Platzer is Physicist and received his Ph.D. from the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg in 1988. He has been working for more than 35 years for the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Germany, performing research and development of solar thermal energy material, components and systems, facade technology, and energy efficiency in buildings. His focus in research and teaching is on concentrating solar thermal technology for process heat and power. Until 2015, he served as Director of the Division Solar Thermal and Optics. He cofounded the Fraunhofer Centre for Solar Energy Technology in Santiago de Chile and was Executive Director there in the years 2016 and 2017. Since 2018, he coordinated the international business development of Fraunhofer ISE. He is teaching as Honorary Professor at the Faculty for Environment and Sustainability, University of Freiburg.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Stieglitz obtained a doctoral degree in Engineering in 1994 at the University of Karlsruhe. In his professional career, he spent some time in power industry and joined the research center Karlsruhe (today Karlsruhe Institute of Technology-KIT) in 1995 in leading functions in several science fields associated with heat and mass transfer, instrumentation, material qualification, and nuclear as well as accelerator technologies. In 2009, he was appointed as Director of the Institute for Neutron Physics and Reactor Technology (INR), and he simultaneously holds a chair at the university campus as Professor in Applied Thermo-Fluidics. Since 2009, he is Director of the CEA KIT Frederic Joliot-Otto Hahn School and served too many associations as Advisor and Expert such as German Nuclear Reactor Safety Commission, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and others. His scientific record is characterized by more than 240 scientific articles/conference papers and 2 books and some book contributions in several science fields.

Prof. Dr. rer.nat. Werner Platzer是一位物理學家，於1988年在德國弗賴堡阿爾伯特-路德維希大學獲得博士學位。他在德國弗劳恩霍夫太陽能系統研究所（Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE）工作超過35年，從事太陽能熱能材料、元件和系統、建築物外牆技術以及能源效率的研究和開發。他在研究和教學方面的重點是濃縮太陽能熱技術用於工藝熱和電力。直到2015年，他擔任太陽能熱和光學部門的主任。他共同創辦了智利聖地亞哥弗劳恩霍夫太陽能技術中心（Fraunhofer Centre for Solar Energy Technology）並在2016年和2017年擔任執行主任。自2018年以來，他負責弗劳恩霍夫太陽能系統研究所的國際業務發展。他還擔任弗賴堡大學環境和可持續發展學院的名譽教授。

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Stieglitz於1994年在卡爾斯魯厄大學獲得工程學博士學位。在他的職業生涯中，他曾在電力行業工作，並於1995年加入卡爾斯魯厄研究中心（現卡爾斯魯厄理工學院-KIT），在熱和質量傳遞、儀器儀表、材料驗證以及核能和加速器技術等多個科學領域擔任領導職務。2009年，他被任命為中子物理和反應堆技術研究所（INR）的所長，同時擔任應用熱流體力學教授的大學講座。自2009年以來，他擔任CEA KIT Frederic Joliot-Otto Hahn School的所長，並擔任德國核反應堆安全委員會、亞歷山大·馮·洪堡基金會等多個協會的顧問和專家。他的科學成就包括240多篇科學論文和會議論文，以及2本書和一些科學領域的專書章節。
