Every country in the world is seeking new energy sources as alternatives to fossil fuels. For the best use of such resources, we need to know how much is available, what the limitations are and how to make efficient devices which will harness the
In the years between the first and this second edition, renewable energy has come of age; it makes good sense, good government and good business.
This book considers the unchanging principles of renewable energy technologies alongside modern application and case studies. In this second edition, the presentation of the fundamentals has been improved throughout, and chapters on economics and institutional factors have been added. Likewise, sections on environmental impact have been added to each technology chapter.
Renewable Energy Resources supports multi-disciplinary masters degrees in science and engineering, and also specialist modules in science and engineering first degrees, as well as being of use to practitioners. Each chapter begins with fundamental theory from a physical science perspective, then considers applied examples and developments, and finally concludes with a set of workable problems and their solutions.
