Описание:
Wind power is often held up as the most accessible and cost-effective route to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and improving our energy independence, yet knowledge of what it offers is often clouded by myths and misunderstandings, which can hamper its adoption.
This new book, the result of an ambitious project coordinated by the European Wind Energy Association, aims to present the facts about wind energy. It includes six sections discussing:
technology
grid integration
economics of wind
its industry and markets
its environmental impacts
the scenarios and targets for wind energy.
Contributions are drawn from nine leading research bodies across Europe, and the material is global in its scope. It is therefore an essential resource and reference for those whose work or study demands an in-depth examination of the subject, and for anyone who wants detailed, accurate and up-to-date information on this key energy source.
Описание: There are few industry sectors in the world today with more potential than renewable energy. Clean, green and renewable energy technologies are receiving immense emphasis from investors, environmentalists, governments and major corporations. A wide variety of technologies are being researched, developed and implemented on a global basis, from Stirling engines to wind power, from advanced nuclear plants to geothermal and fuel cells. Our analysis also includes tar sands (oil sands), oil shale, fuel cells, clean coal, distributed power, energy storage, biofuels and much more. We also discuss the potential for nanotechnology to enhance solar cells and other technologies. Formally Plunkett's Renewable, Alternative & Hydrogen Energy Industry Almanac, this book contains thousands of contacts for business and industry leaders, industry associations, Internet sites and other resources. It also includes statistical tables, an industry glossary and thorough indexes. The corporate profiles section of the book includes our proprietary, in-depth profiles of the 300 leading companies in all facets of the alternative, renewable and hydrogen energy business. You'll find a complete overview, industry analysis and market research report in one superb, value-priced package.

Описание:
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
Wind power is one of the fastest developing sources of renewable energy. It makes substantial contributions to power grids around the globe, and it promises to play a prominent role in the world's future energy security. Given that reality, there is an ongoing need for research that investigates the potential of specific regions for wind-farm development, combined with the social, economic, and environmental impacts of that development. This compendium contains the most recent research on these topics from around the world. The chapters are organized into three parts:
The potential of wind power in selected regions of the world
Social, economic, and environmental factors that influence wind development
Current trends within the wind industry and the challenges it must face to contribute to the world's future energy security
With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and university-level students investigating this expanding field of study. It will also be a useful reference book for wind-power engineers, technicians, and planners.
Описание: This book explores the intrinsically multiscale issue of renewable energy transition from a local, national and transnational perspective. Of interest to advanced students and scholars focusing on renewable energy transition, stakeholder issues, environment and sustainability studies.

Описание: Renewable energy is now powering or assisting several numbers of on-farm necessity of energies, and that varies from water pumping to space heating. Both, farmers as well as ranchers are now increasingly selling energy and utilising these energies into the industry of agriculture (for example, application of solar energy and wind energy). This book takes the readers through an overview or agriculture, its history, and their types. This book further sheds light on the significance of renewable energy in the industry of agriculture and various applications of these renewable energy (solar energy and wind energy) in agriculture.

Описание: Although the years 1921-48 saw a gradual strengthening of the so-called `special relationship` between the United States and Great Britain, anglophobia remained a potent force in American political life throughout that period.
Описание: Energy transitions are fundamental to achieving a zero-carbon economy. This book provides a novel, interdisciplinary account of the politics of producing, financing, governing and mobilising energy system change. Using case studies from around the globe, it explores the historical, global, political and ecological features of energy transitions.
