Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future, 4/e (Paperback)

商品描述

The provision of sustainable energy supplies for an expanding and increasingly productive world is one of the major issues facing civilisation today. Renewable Energy examines both the practical and economic potential of the renewable energy sources to meet this challenge. The underlying physical and technological principles behind deriving power from direct solar (solar thermal and photovoltaics), indirect solar (biomass, hydro, wind and wave) and non-solar (tidal and geothermal) energy sources are explained, within the context of their environmental impacts, their economics and their future prospects.

Renewable Energy provides both perspective and detail on the relative merits and state of progress of technologies for utilizing the various 'renewables'. The analysis considers emissions, sustainability, cost implications and energy security, as political and economic pressures move society towards a low-carbon future. From an overview of basic energy conversion processes, through a discussion of the individual renewable sources, to a concluding examination of the prospects for their integration into national and international networks and the outlook for renewable energy, this book provides a valuable insight into prospects for the renewables.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

可持續能源供應的提供，對於一個不斷擴張且日益高效的世界來說，是當今文明面臨的主要問題之一。《可再生能源》探討了可再生能源來源在應對這一挑戰方面的實際和經濟潛力。書中解釋了從直接太陽能（太陽熱能和光伏）、間接太陽能（生物質、水力、風能和波浪能）以及非太陽能（潮汐和地熱）能源來源中獲取能量的基本物理和技術原理，並考慮了它們的環境影響、經濟性和未來前景。

《可再生能源》提供了有關各種「可再生能源」技術的相對優勢和進展狀態的視角和細節。分析考慮了排放、可持續性、成本影響和能源安全，因為政治和經濟壓力促使社會朝向低碳未來發展。從基本能源轉換過程的概述，到對各種可再生能源的討論，再到對其整合進入國家和國際網絡的前景的最終檢視，以及可再生能源的展望，本書提供了對可再生能源前景的寶貴見解。
