Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact Eric Jeffs Buckinghamshire, England, UK
The green argument for conservation is a contradiction in that although they produce no emissions, because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. Written by an international journalist with 40 years of experience reporting on power-generating technologies and global energy policies, this book addresses the question of how to build an electricity supply system that meets the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment.

Energy Management and Conservation Handbook Edited by
Energy Conversion Edited by
D. Yogi Goswami and Frank Kreith “ ... with its comprehensive discussion of methods that maximize energy production, it is a welcome addition to the literature. ... no energy source is ignored. ... This book is a classic and demands purchase by anyone involved in energy production, use or research.” —G.F. Bennett, The University of Toledo, Ohio, writing in Hazardous Materials
This book surveys advances in energy conversion technologies that use a wide variety of sources. It describes the use of fossil fuels, refuse-derived biomass fuels, and those that employ nuclear, solar radiation, wind, geothermal, and ocean sources. It also provides the terminology and units used for each energy resource and its equivalence. The author introduces the steam power cycle, gas turbines, internal combustion engines, hydraulic turbines, Stirling engines, advanced fossil fuel power systems, and combined-cycle power plants. Catalog no. 44311, July 2007, 936 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-4431-7, $149.95 / £96.00 Also available as eBook

Assessing the existing and future possibilities of energy sources and technologies, this book helps develop competence in energy matters on three levels: basic concepts, essential computations, and dynamic modeling. It provides a complete portfolio of various energy technologies to enhance understanding and enable innovative speculation about the energy future. The text contains numerical examples that further conceptual insights and uses dynamic modeling to show how different energy systems fulfill different needs in a timely manner. The accompanying CD-ROM includes VisSim™ examples, and Simulink® examples and a trial version of VisSim are available for download online.

Series: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
While researchers are working overtime to produce new technologies and methods of providing energy, it is critical that modern industry makes the most efficient use of the energy that is currently available. Composed of selected chapters from the Handbook of Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy, this handbook offers expert guidance on the planning and design of “green” technologies. It focuses on management strategies for better utilization of energy in buildings and industry, as well as ways of improving energy efficiency at the end use.
