Encyclopedia of Renewable Energy by James G. Speight Pdf

Dieses Buch aus der Feder eines hoch angesehenen Ingenieurs und Verfassers zahlreicher Veröffentlichungen im Energiesektor ist das umfassendste, gründlichste und aktuellste Nachschlagewerk über erneuerbare Energien. Die weltweite Energiewirtschaft ist und war schon immer unbeständig und manchmal widersprüchlich, mit erratischen Ausschlägen nach oben und unten. Dies war in der Vergangenheit vor allem darauf zurückzuführen, dass der Großteil unserer Energie aus fossilen Brennstoffen stammt, die eine begrenzt verfügbare Energiequelle darstellen. Es kommt immer wieder vor, dass eine Technologie wie das Fracking einen entscheidenden Wandel herbeiführt. Aber tut sie das wirklich? Zögern wir mit diesen vorübergehenden Preiskorrekturen nicht nur das Unvermeidliche hinaus? Den einzigen wirklichen Wandel bringen die erneuerbaren Energien. Schon seit Jahrzehnten werden erneuerbare Energiequellen ausfindig gemacht, weiterentwickelt und untersucht. Manchmal steht die Windenergie im Vordergrund, manchmal die Solarenergie, und in den letzten rund zehn Jahren hat das Interesse an Biorohstoffen und Biokraftstoffen stark zugenommen. Außerdem gibt es noch die ?Dauerbrenner?-Technologien der Kernenergie und Geothermie, die beide schon seit sehr langer Zeit genutzt werden. In diesem völlig neuen Werk sind die genannten Themen und Trends in Form einer Enzyklopädie dargestellt, die als schnelles Nachschlagewerk für Ingenieure, Wissenschaftler und Studierende dient und auch für Laien geeignet ist, die in der Branche arbeiten oder sich einfach für das Thema interessieren. Die Beiträge wurden von einem der weltweit bekanntesten und angesehensten Energieingenieure zusammengestellt. Damit ist dieses Buch die umfassendste und aktuellste Enzyklopädie über erneuerbare Energien, die derzeit erhältlich ist, und gehört in jede Bibliothek. Die Encyclopedia of Renewable Energy: * Ist im Stil einer Enzyklopädie geschrieben und befasst sich mit sämtlichen Aspekten der erneuerbaren Energien, darunter Windkraft, Solarenergie und vielen anderen Themen * Bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Branche, von den chemischen Prozessen zur Gewinnung von Biorohstoffen und Biokraftstoffen bis zu den Maschinen und Anlagen, die zur Kraftstoffproduktion und in der Stromerzeugung eingesetzt werden * Enthält zahlreiche praxistaugliche Beispiele und Designs, die bei der praktischen Anwendung helfen * Ist auf dem aktuellen Stand der Technik und damit ein wichtiges Referenzwerk für jeden Ingenieur

Encyclopedia of Energy, Natural Resource, and Environmental Economics by Anonim Pdf

Every decision about energy involves its price and cost. The price of gasoline and the cost of buying from foreign producers; the price of nuclear and hydroelectricity and the costs to our ecosystems; the price of electricity from coal-fired plants and the cost to the atmosphere. Giving life to inventions, lifestyle changes, geopolitical shifts, and things in-between, energy economics is of high interest to Academia, Corporations and Governments. For economists, energy economics is one of three subdisciplines which, taken together, compose an economic approach to the exploitation and preservation of natural resources: energy economics, which focuses on energy-related subjects such as renewable energy, hydropower, nuclear power, and the political economy of energy resource economics, which covers subjects in land and water use, such as mining, fisheries, agriculture, and forests environmental economics, which takes a broader view of natural resources through economic concepts such as risk, valuation, regulation, and distribution Although the three are closely related, they are not often presented as an integrated whole. This Encyclopedia has done just that by unifying these fields into a high-quality and unique overview. The only reference work that codifies the relationships among the three subdisciplines: energy economics, resource economics and environmental economics. Understanding these relationships just became simpler! Nobel Prize Winning Editor-in-Chief (joint recipient 2007 Peace Prize), Jason Shogren, has demonstrated excellent team work again, by coordinating and steering his Editorial Board to produce a cohesive work that guides the user seamlessly through the diverse topics This work contains in equal parts information from and about business, academic, and government perspectives and is intended to serve as a tool for unifying and systematizing research and analysis in business, universities, and government
