The provision of sustainable energy supplies for an expanding and increasingly productive world is one of the major issues facing civilisation today. Renewable Energy examines both the practical and economic potential of the renewable energy sources to meet this challenge. The underlying physical and technological principles behind deriving power from direct solar (solar thermal and photovoltaics), indirect solar (biomass, hydro, wind and wave) and nonsolar (tidal and geothermal) energy sources are explained, within the context of their environmental impacts, their economics and their future prospects.Renewable Energy provides both perspective and detail on the relative merits and state of progress of technologies for utilizing the various renewables . The analysis considers emissions, sustainability, cost implications and energy security, as political and economic pressures move society towards a lowcarbon future. From an overview of basic energy conversion processes, through a discussion of the individual renewable sources, to a concluding examination of the prospects for their integration into national and international networks and the outlook for renewable energy, this book provides a valuable insight into prospects for the renewables.Online Resource CentreRenewable Energy is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre which features:For students:DT Auto marked multiple choice questions to accompany each chapterDT Curated links to further information and uptodate energy statistics.For registered adopters of the book:DT Figures from the book: available to download for use in lectures
