Résumé
Renewable Energy is the ideal introduction to the subject, whatever your degree. An interdisciplinary approach brings together economic, social, environmental, and policy issues to give you a holistic view of this multi-faceted subject area. Chapters explore the full range of renewable energy technologies, including : solar thermal ; solar photovoltaics ; bioenergy (in all its forms) ; hydroelectricity ; tidal power ; wind energy ; wave energy ; and deep geothermal energy.
Beautiful illustrations augment the text, while the tables, boxed examples and online end-of-chapter exercises enrich your learning experience. New to this edition : a new chapter on thermodynamics provides a useful primer for understanding renewable heat energy technologies ; an updated chapter explores the status of challenges and opportunities for the integration of renewable energy technologies in rapidly evolving electric grid systems ; a new chapter on renewable energy futures looks ahead to potential developments in this ever-advancing field ; enhanced pedagogy that includes more comprehensive chapter summaries.
