Renewable Energy: Technology, Economics and Environment - Martin , Wolfgang and Andreas

Renewable Energy plays a vital role in today’s energy starved age. Every economy around the world seeks an efficient, reliable, cheap and sustainable energy source to cater to energy security requirements. Renewable Energy development can assist the economy in achieving energy security.

Most of the economies have started developing RE sources. Below figure shows the Renewable Energy generation growth of 2009 vs 2008.

With growing demand of Renewable Energy sources, a techno-commercial knowledge of Renewable Energy projects are also required. Spark Network in its efforts to cater to fulfill the resources requirements of growing RE sector found a very useful publication giving detailed analysis of technology, economics and environment aspects of Renewable Energy. The details of the publication are as follows:

Publication Title: Renewable Energy: Technology, Economics and Environment

Authors:

1. Martin Kaltschmitt

2. Wolfgang Streicher

3. Andreas Wiese

Short Description:

This book presents the physical and technical principles of promising ways of utilizing renewable energies. In this context, firstly the main characteristics of the available renewable energy streams are outlined. Subsequently, the book presents the technologies of heat provision from passive and active solar systems, ambient air, shallow geothermal energy as well as energy from deep geothermal sources. In the preceding chapters the book addresses the processes of electricity generation from solar radiation (photovoltaic and solar thermal power plant technologies), wind energy, and hydropower. In addition, a brief discussions of harnessing ocean energies is included.

The authors provide the important data and parameter sets for the major possibilities of renewable energies utilization which allow an economic and environmental assessment. Such an assessment enables us to judge the chances and limits of the multiple options utilizing renewable energy sources.
