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 non-solar (tidal and geothermal) energy sources are explained, within the context of their environmental impacts, their economics and their future prospects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenewable 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 low-carbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnline resources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenewable Energy is accompanied by online resources which include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor students:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Auto- marked multiple choice questions to accompany each chapter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Curated links to further information and up-to-date energy statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor registered adopters of the book:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Figures from the book: available to download for use in lectures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProductspecificaties\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuteur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stephen Peake (Lecturer in Environmental Technology, Lecturer in Environmental Technology, The Open University)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUitgever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxford University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerschijningsdatum:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017-11-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAantal pagina's:\u003c\/strong\u003e 680\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780198759751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThema:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e SCIENCE \/ Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOver de auteur\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Stephen Peake is Senior Lecturer in Environmental Technology at The Open University.
