About the Authors

Professor Tariq Muneer, PhD, DSc, CEng, FCIBSE, Millennium Fellow is Professor of Energy Engineering at Edinburgh Napier University. He currently chairs an active group engaged in research on Sustainable Energy. He is the author of a dozen monographs some of which are: Windows in buildings, 2000, Heinemann; Heat transfer – a problem solving approach, Taylor and Francis, 2003; Solar radiation and daylight models, 2004, Elsevier; and Solar photovoltaic system applications – a guidebook for off-grid applications, Springer, 2016. He is the author of over 230 technical articles. For the past 25 years he has also chaired the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE, London) Solar Data Task Group and is the principal author of CIBSE Guides A and J. Published by Ecole de Mines (2000), Professor Muneer`s work on slope radiation was chosen for the development of the European solar radiation atlas.

Professor (Dr) Mohan Kolhe is with the University of Agder (Norway) as full professor in electrical power engineering with focus in smart grid and renewable energy. He has received the offer of professorship in smart grid from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He has more than twenty-five years` academic experience at international level on electrical and renewable energy systems. He is a leading renewable energy technologist and has previously held academic positions at the world`s prestigious universities e.g. University College London (UK / Australia), University of Dundee (UK); University of Jyvaskyla (Finland); and Hydrogen Research Institute, QC (Canada).

Aisling Doyle BEng, MSc is completing her PhD at Edinburgh Napier University. Aisling attended the National University of Ireland Galway and graduated with a bachelors in Civil Engineering in 2012. In 2014 she graduated first in her class winning the class medal in Renewable Energy MSc at Edinburgh Napier University.
Aisling’s work focuses on the thermal performance of the electric vehicle to be completed by October 2017. This research includes solar engineering, thermodynamics and computer modelling. Aisling won the 2016 Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport student scholarship for her present research.
