Environmentally Conscious Power Generation

Best practices for designing and implementing renewable power generation technologiesThe fourth volume of the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering, Environmentally Conscious Alternative Energy Production, shows you how to design and implement power generation technologies that are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Chapters have been written by experts who, based on their hands-on field experience, offer detailed coverage of the environmental and economic impacts of renewable and conventional power generation tech'nologies. Moreover, you learn how to satisfy business objectives, such as minimizing costs and maximizing design utility, while meeting environmental objectives.Major topic areas include:Solar Energy ApplicationsFuel CellsGeothermal Resources and Technology: An IntroductionWind Power GenerationCogenerationHydrogen EnergyClean Power Generation from CoalUsing Waste Heat from Power PlantsThroughout the volume, examples and case studies serve as blueprints, demonstrating how designs are devised and executed. Figures illustrate key design principles, and tables provide at-a-glance summaries of key data. Finally, references at the end of each chapter enable you to investigate individual topics in greater depth.Turn to all of the books in the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering for the most cutting-edge, environmentally friendly engineering practices and technologies.
