Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effects of environmental, economic, social, political and technical factors have led to the rapid deployment of various sources of renewable energy-based power generation. The incorporation of these generation technologies have led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate this new form of generation into the power system network. This book, arranged into six sections, highlights various renewable energy based generation technologies, and consists a series of papers written by experts in their respective fields of specialization.The Handbook of Renewable Energy Technology will be of great practical benefit to professionals, scientists and researchers in the relevant industries, and will be of interest to those of the general public wanting to know more about renewable energy technologies.

Download or read book Handbook Of Energy Finance: Theories, Practices And Simulations written by Stephane Goutte and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling the dynamics of energy markets has become a challenging task. The intensification of their financialization since 2004 had made them more complex but also more integrated with other tradable asset classes. More importantly, their large and frequent fluctuations in terms of both prices and volatility, particularly in the aftermath of the global financial crisis 2008-2009, posit difficulties for modeling and forecasting energy price behavior and are primary sources of concerns for macroeconomic stability and general economic performance.This handbook aims to advance the debate on the theories and practices of quantitative energy finance while shedding light on innovative results and technical methods applied to energy markets. Its primary focus is on the recent development and applications of mathematical and quantitative approaches for a better understanding of the stochastic processes that drive energy market movements. The handbook is designed for not only graduate students and researchers but also practitioners and policymakers.

Download or read book The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets written by Anastasios G. E. T. Al MALLIARIS and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets serves as a definitive source for comprehensive and accessible information in futures markets. The emphasis is on the unique characteristics of futures markets that make them worthy of a special volume. In our judgment, futures markets are currently undergoing remarkable changes as trading is shifting from open outcry to electronic and as the traditional functions of hedging and speculation are extended to include futures as an alternative investment vehicle in traditional portfolios. The unique feature of this volume is the selection of five classic papers that lay the foundations of the futures markets and the invitation to the leading academics who do work in the area to write critical surveys in a dozen important topics."--$cProvided by publisher.

Download or read book Wind, Water And Fire: The Other Renewable Energy Resources written by Gerard M Crawley and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on a few renewable energy sources, viz. wind energy plus energy from water movement and natural temperature differences that in principle could provide enormous energy resources. Energy from wind has been a rapidly growing source of energy as wind turbines have grown in size and especially as wind turbines have moved offshore. Hydroelectric dams have continued to be used as energy sources particularly in developing countries. Other energy sources using water, including waves and tidal sources, are also discussed in this volume. Finally, the volume discusses differences between deep and surface ocean temperatures plus the extraction of energy from the earth's extremely large energy resource of magma deep below the surface. These latter two energy resources in particular require further development and the current book describes the latest advances coupled with pointing possible paths forward.

Download or read book Handbook Of Renewable Energy Technology & Systems written by Ramesh C Bansal and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, the effects of global warming, pollution due to power generation from fossil fuels, and its depletion have led to the rapid deployment of renewable energy-based power generation. The leading renewable technologies are wind and photovoltaic (PV) systems. The incorporation of this generation of technologies has led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate renewable generation into power system networks.The Handbook of Renewable Energy Technology & Systems comprises 22 chapters, arranged into four sections, which present a comprehensive analysis of various renewable energy-based distributed generation (DG) technologies. Aspects of renewable energy covered include wind and photovoltaic power systems and technology, micro-grids, power electronic applications, power quality, and the protection of renewable distributed generation.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Energy-Saving Technologies for Environmentally-Friendly Agricultural Development written by Kharchenko, Valeriy and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World population growth and the related increase in the demand for food and other goods has intensified agricultural production throughout the world. Some of today's technologies are characterized by relatively low productivity and high consumption of energy resources. The Handbook of Research on Energy-Saving Technologies for Environmentally-Friendly Agricultural Development is a comprehensive research publication that provides insight into new technologies that create efficient and environmentally-friendly energy potential sufficient for the organization of industrial and social-economic activity in rural areas. Highlighting a variety of topics such as economic development, renewable energy, and climate change, this book is ideal for agricultural business executives, engineers, scientists, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, academicians, researchers, students, and those working in the agro-industrial and housing and communal services sectors.
