Power Generation Technologies

Autor Paul Breeze
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2019
This revised third edition of Power Generation Technologies explores even more renewable technologies in detail, from traditional fossil fuels and the more established alternatives such as wind and solar power, to emerging renewables such as biomass and geothermal energy. The book also features new expanded chapters on tidal project proposals, tidal bunds, enhanced geothermal technology, fast-moving areas in marine energy and the development of floating wind turbines.Power Generation Technologies is more than just an account of the technologies – for each method the author explores the economic and environmental costs and risk factors. Each technology is covered using the same basic criteria, so that comparisons between technologies can be made more easily. Those who are involved in planning and delivering energy, including engineers, managers and policy makers, will find a guide through the minefield of maintaining a reliable power supply, meeting targets on greenhouse gas emissions, and addressing economic and social objectives in this book.


  • Explains in hundreds of diagrams how each technology functions in practice
  • Evaluates the economic and environmental viability of each power generation system covered
  • Features fast-advancing renewable and alternative power sources, such as municipal waste and solar options
  • Applies a fresh focus on the evolution of traditional technologies such as natural gas and ‘clean coal’

Recenzii

"The author does an excellent job of explaning how the different technologies work, including an objective view of their pros and cons.Provides an excellent description of the major power generation technologies used in the world today...it provides the reader with a solid, basic understanding of how these technologies work and where they are headed. I recommend this well-organized book to anyone wishing to quickly gain a broad understanding of the many power plant technologies of the 21st century." --Chuck Kutscher, National Renewable Energy Laboratory "This book on power generation technologies provides a concise and quick read describing a full range of various power generation technologies available today...The author provides good technical descriptions of the fundamental operating principles of each power generation technique, variants of the basic technique, such as how various types of fuel cells operate, their efficiency, comparison to competing technologies, environmental and cost considerations...Anyone involved in planning and delivering energy, or those interested in energy technologies, will find this book very useful for quickly gaining a basic knowledge about energy-producing technologies and learning about the key cost figures, associated risks, and advantages and limitations of each technology." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, August 2006
