  • Stopping Climate Change: the Case for Hydrogen and Coal

    de C.E. Sandy Thomas ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    This book documents the advantages and limitations of various electricity generation methods. It illustrates how both electricity and motor fuel can be cost-effectively derived from coal, natural gas or other indigenous fuels, thereby eliminating our dependence on imported oil and the power of OPEC. It favours electricity generation systems powered exclusively by natural gas, coal, nuclear and ... Leer más

  • Energy Democracy

    Germany’s Energiewende to Renewables

    de Craig Morris, Arne Jungjohann ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This book outlines how Germans convinced their politicians to pass laws allowing citizens to make their own energy, even when it hurt utility companies to do so. It traces the origins of the Energiewende movement in Germany from the Power Rebels of Schönau to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s shutdown of eight nuclear power plants following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. The authors explore ... Leer más

  • Spain’s Photovoltaic Revolution

    The Energy Return on Investment

    de Pedro A. Prieto, Charles A. S. Hall ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    The Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROI or EROEI) is the amount of energy acquired from a particular energy source divided by the energy expended, or invested, in obtaining that energy. EROI is an essential and seemingly simple measure of the usable energy or “energy profit” from the exploitation of an energy source, but it is not so easy to determine all of the energy expenditures that should ...

  • Geofuels

    Energy and the Earth

    de Alan R. Carroll ...
    Our energy use and its consequences (including climate change) motivate some of the most contentious and complex public debates of our time. Although these issues are often cast in terms of renewable versus non-renewable energy, in reality both depend on finite Earth resources. The evolution of the Earth itself therefore offers a uniquely illuminating perspective from which to evaluate alternative ... Leer más

  • Kenaf: A Multi-Purpose Crop for Several Industrial Applications

    New insights from the Biokenaf Project

    Edición de Andrea Monti, Efthimia Alexopoulou ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Natural plant fibers fibres are being increasingly used in manufacturing industrial products because of their renewable and biodegradable natures. Kenaf is an annual bast fibre crop that can provide fibres for several industrial applications (composites, insulation mats, absorbents, bedding material, etc.) as well as raw material for energy exploitation (solid biofuels). Kenaf: A Multi-Purpose ... Leer más

  • Energy in Australia

    Peak Oil, Solar Power, and Asia’s Economic Growth

    de Graham Palmer ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    With rapidly declining costs and seemingly unlimited sunshine, the choice of solar in Australia seems obvious. Yet despite its many advantages, homes with solar remain completely dependent on the electricity grid for reliable supply, which in Australia implies mostly coal-fired generation. Indeed, even countries that have invested heavily in solar, such as Spain and Germany, have been unable to ... Leer más

  • Gas Turbine Emissions

    Edición de Tim C. Lieuwen, Vigor Yang ...
    Series Libro 38 - Cambridge Aerospace Series
    The development of clean, sustainable energy systems is one of the pre-eminent issues of our time. Most projections indicate that combustion-based energy conversion systems will continue to be the predominant approach for the majority of our energy usage, and gas turbines will continue to be important combustion-based energy conversion devices for many decades to come, used for aircraft propulsion ...

  • Weather Modeling and Forecasting of PV Systems Operation

    de Marius Paulescu, Eugenia Paulescu, Paul Gravila, Viorel Badescu ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    In the past decade, there has been a substantial increase of grid-feeding photovoltaic applications, thus raising the importance of solar electricity in the energy mix. This trend is expected to continue and may even increase. Apart from the high initial investment cost, the fluctuating nature of the solar resource raises particular insertion problems in electrical networks. Proper grid managing ... Leer más

  • Electrochemical Energy Storage for Renewable Sources and Grid Balancing

    Edición de Patrick T. Moseley, Jürgen Garche ...
    Electricity from renewable sources of energy is plagued by fluctuations (due to variations in wind strength or the intensity of insolation) resulting in a lack of stability if the energy supplied from such sources is used in 'real time'. An important solution to this problem is to store the energy electrochemically (in a secondary battery or in hydrogen and its derivatives) and to make use of it ... Leer más

  • Geothermal Engineering

    Fundamentals and Applications

    de Arnold Watson ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    This book explains the engineering required to bring geothermal resources into use. The book covers specifically engineering aspects that are unique to geothermal engineering, such as measurements in wells and their interpretation, transport of near-boiling water through long pipelines, turbines driven by fluids other than steam, and project economics. The explanations are reinforced by drawing ... Leer más
