SAM's financial models are for the following types of projects:

High concentration photovoltaic systems.

Biomass combustion for power generation.

Wind power, from individual turbines to large wind farms.

Industrial process heat from parabolic trough and linear Fresnel systems.

Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel.

Battery storage with Lithium ion, lead acid, or flow batteries for front-of-meter or behind-the-meter applications.

Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftop to large utility-scale systems.SAM can model many types of renewable energy systems: Great use for telescope makers (or would be) or TM classes.Įnjoy, pass it on to those who are interested.Īrchive - Edmund Scientific Literature All About Telescopes The Optical Bench Goodwin Achromatic Barlow How to Build Optical Drawing Devices Reticles and their Uses How to Condense and Project Light Ronchi Rulings and their Uses Fun with Fresnell Lenses How to Build Opaque Projectors Magnifiers Telescope Finders Collimators & Collimation Collimating Systems Graphical Ray Tracing Ultra-Close Up PhotographyĮdited by Oregon-raybender, 29 December 2022 - 06:34 PM.The System Advisor Model (SAM) is a free techno-economic software model that facilitates decision-making for people in the renewable energy industry: They were just posted today free to download. I just scanned them this fall to make them available. Great books, simple drawings and packed with info on how to telescopes and simple high But the ones that were really needed are, 'All About Telescopes' and 'the Optical Bench'. I asked about having these books on their web site as open access. I worked with the Edmund Marketing Department this past year.

The series of old Edmund books on telescopes and opticsĪre now available to the world. I am happy to report the old Sam Brown book 'All About Telescopes' and other Edmund booksĪre now available on line with free down load (PDF)
