Description
We are hearing a LOT about renewable energy these days! But unlike most available resources on alternative energy that focus on politics
and economic impacts, da Rosa's practical guide,
Fundamentals of Renewable Energy Processes, is dedicated to explaining the
scientific and technological principles and processes that enable energy production from safe, renewable, clean sources.
Advances
in the renewable energy sphere are proceeding with an unprecedented speed, and in order for the world's alarming energy challenges to
be solved, solid, up-to-date resources addressing the technical aspects of renewables are essential.
This new, updated 2e of
da Rosa's successful book continues to give readers all the background they need to gain a thorough understanding of the most popular
types of renewable energy?hydrogen, solar power, biomass, wind power, and hydropower?from the ground up. The latest advances in all these
technologies are given particular attention, and are carefully contextualized to help professionals and students grasp the "whys and
hows" behind these breakthroughs.
Audience:
Primary: Engineers, Scientists and Technicians working with Renewable Energy
Secondary: Researchers, Students, and Investors working in renewable energy-related disciplines
