Описание: Become part of the solution to climate change and learn how you can reduce the carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of your IT systems. Learn how to ensure new equipment is as power efficient, sustainable, and repairable as possible. Uncover the sustainability policies of your cloud and IT service providers so you can make thoughtful, cost-sensitive, and environmentally sound decisions when purchasing cloud-based SaaS and other services. Also learn to reduce e-waste in a way that inspires your employees, your stakeholders, and your customers. This book looks at our understanding of climate change and the impact that IT systems have through their constant demand for electrical power from increasingly over-stressed electrical grids and ever-rising energy costs. You will learn what you can do in your own business or organization to lower the electrical and carbon footprints of your IT systems. You will learn to discover the environmental policies of your cloud providers so you can make cloud-based computing choices with reduced carbon footprints in mind. Author Mike Halsey provides guidance for desktops, with a discussion of settings and practices that can reduce power usage of Windows systems, including home workers using their own equipment, and covering smartphones and tablets with all operating system types. The book will help you examine the broader world and how IT companies and business leaders are pressing ahead toward ambitious climate goals, and you will look at new technologies you can expect to see developed in support of those goals. What You Will Learn * Manage the power requirements of your existing IT equipment and systems more efficiently * Ensure high levels of power efficiency of any new IT equipment that you purchase * Know where to look for the sustainability policies of cloud and IT service * Ask the right questions of suppliers and stakeholders * Inspire employees and stakeholders to want to do more to reduce their own carbon footprint * Work within charitable, business, and governmental structures to reduce e-waste and help communities Who This Book Is For For business leaders and system administrators who have been tasked by their company to find cost-efficient and effective ways to reduce the local, national, and global carbon-footprint of their business or organization. For IT professionals looking to bring the company into line with existing and forthcoming national and international environmental standards and regulations. Also for individuals and power users who are keen to reduce the carbon-footprint of their own computer and IT systems.

Описание:
This book presents an overview of current renewable energy sources, challenges and future trends. Drawing from their longtime expertise and deep knowledge of the field, the authors present a critic and well-structured perspective on sustainable power sources and technologies, including solar, wind, hydrogen and nuclear, both in large and small scale. Using accessible language they provide rigorous technological reviews and analyze the main issues of practical usage. The book addresses current questions in this area, such as: "Is there enough biomass to make a difference in energy needs? Should biomass be used in Energy Generation?"; "How mature is battery technology? Will it finally become cost effective, and will it make a significant difference this next decade?"; "How big a role will small and modular nuclear power generation play in the coming decades?"; "What will be the influence of national tax policies?." No prior technical knowledge is assumed of the reader. It is, therefore, ideal for professionals and students in all areas of energy and power systems, as well as those involved in energy planning, management and policy.
Presents a realistic and clear overview of the key sustainable energy technologies that will play important roles in the world's energy mix and their impact on the current power infrastructure.
Discusses key societal and economic topics related to the implementation of sustainable energy sources in a straightforward way.
Covers a broad variety of sustainable and renewable energy sources, including hydrogen and bioenergy. It also explores key issues on small modular nuclear facilities, advances in battery technologies, grid integration, off-grid communities and the most recent topics in energy economics and policy.
