Towards Sustainable Energy
Hailing renewables as the solution to climate change is an overoptimistic diagnostic. This book analyzes all primary energy sources, concluding the transition to an energy system with acceptable emissions is far from smooth. Mankind is at a crossroads with difficult decisions.
This book addresses trends in renewable energy sources, energy storage, and smart systems. In addition to photovoltaic and wind generation, it considers new solutions for smart grids, energy management, and innovative renewable exploitation techniques.
In a context of severe environmental requirements and energy saving responsibilities, the proper use of water offers many possibilities. This book builds on work dedicated to improving combustion efficiency in engines, gas turbines, and boilers by using additive water.
This book explores efficient energy utilization in industrial sites, offering a recipe to minimize Global Warming and Ozone Depletion. It presents insights into thermodynamics and energy management to help engineers deal with energy issues from a more global perspective.
