Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The utilization of wind power and other renewable energy sources has been growing at a phenomenal rate. Wind Energy, Fourth Edition, explores the wind industry from its inception to today; presents the design, aerodynamics, operation, control, and applications; and examines the various types of wind turbines. It covers the characteristics of wind, such as shear, power potential, and turbulence, and discusses the measurement and siting of individual wind turbines and wind farms. It also discusses the political and economic factors regarding the adoption of wind as an energy source. This new edition is updated throughout and offers three new chapters, as well as a solutions manual for adopting instructors. This book: - Is updated throughout and has three new chapters on climate change, energy storage, and observations. - Illustrates the need for a shift to renewable energy through discussions on energy use and the order-of-magnitude estimates for the lifetime of fossil fuels. - Discusses the interconnection of wind turbines to utility grids, regulations on installation and operation, and the related environmental concerns.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Explore a Major Component of Renewable Energy Introduction to Bioenergy takes a look at energy from biomass (thermal energy, power, liquid fuels, and biogas) and envisions a sustainable future fueled by renewable energy. From production to conversion to heat, power, and biofuel, this book breaks down the science of bioenergy and explains the major processes for its production, conversion, and use. Covers Solar Energy, Bioenergy, and Biomass ResourcesThe book begins with an introduction to solar energy (the source of bioenergy) and then moves on to describe bioenergy, biomass, chemical conversion, and the renewable energy processes involved. The authors cover measurement energy parameters, analysis of data, and the prediction of energy production for different bio products. They also consider the institutional, environmental, and economic concerns surrounding bioenergy. An all-inclusive resource covering a rapidly-advancing field, this book: - Explores the impact of climate change and global warming on the production of biomass - Describes the positive and negative effects of biomass production on ecosystems and biodiversity - Illustrates the use of biomass for the production of electricity - Considers the replacement of fossil fuels with biofuels, biofuel production, and emerging technologies - Addresses institutional and environmental issues relevant to bioenergy - Discusses factors impacting the economic feasibility of renewable energy systems Introduction to Bioenergy defines major processes for the production, conversion, and use of bioenergy. A book suitable for coursework or self-study, this essential work serves students and practicing professionals in the renewable energy, environmental science, agriculture engineering, and biology fields.…
