        Windkraft neu gedacht

        Erstaunliche Beispiele für die Nutzung einer unerschöpflichen Ressource

        by Hautmann, Daniel

        Man has been using wind power for thousands of years. With advancing climate change and the conversion of energy supply to renewable energies, the use of wind power is becoming more important than ever. In this book, the author shows what is still possible with the power of the wind when the innovative power of numerous inventors and investors is added on a large scale. He goes beyond the usual perspective of using wind power to generate electricity. He uses fascinating examples to show what wind can move

        RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

        by KOTHARI, D. P. and RANJAN, RAKESH and SINGAL, K. C.

        This book, now in its Third Edition, is an introductory text on renewable energy sources, technologies and their applications—a subject that is becoming increasingly important worldwide. While technological development has improved the efficiency of Energy Conversion Systems (ECS) from renewable resources, Energy Conservation is also given due importance. The authors have tried to incorporate such changes in this thoroughly revised edition.   Besides this, a large number of numerical problems to correlate theory with typical values, several case studies and chapter-wise review questions are also given to reinforce the understanding of the subject matter.   Written in an accessible style, this textbook is intended to serve as an introductory text for the subject of energy and environment for all branches of Engineering and Environmental Sciences. It will also be useful for all higher-level courses in energy programmes and multi-disciplinary postgraduate courses in science and engineering.   NEW TO THIRD EDITION Inclusion of new topics such as    – Supercritical Technology for coal-fired thermal generation    – National Power Tariff Policy of India    – Global Environmental Awareness    – International Emission Trading (IET)    – Paris Conference details with National Electricity Policy (NEP) of India-13th plan    – Advancement in Solar Photo-Voltaic System (SPS) with several case studies   Appendices with recent data on    – Smart grid and grid system in India    – Remote village electrification with renewable energy sources    – Indian Electricity Act 2003, which supports the exploration of Renewable Energy.   SALIENT FEATURES – Provides a balanced introduction to all aspects of solar energy conversion, including PV technology. – Gives comprehensive coverage of all facets of wind power development. – Explains small hydropower projects with illustrative figures.Emphasises the importance of the availability of biofuel from the Jatropha plant. – Special attention is given to 'gas hydrates' and 'hydrogen energy' sources. – Fuel cells are explained as per the latest technology available. – Harnessing of ocean energy is dealt with in detail. – Utilisation of biomass and solid waste for energy recovery is emphasised.

        Energy Storage on LV Grids

        Planning, Installation and Operation of Battery Storage Systems

        by Marc Fengel

        To ensure availability in future decentralized energy generation and consumption, electrical energy storage systems are inevitable. They store electrical energy of generation plants (e.g. the photovoltaic system) when sun is shining and make energy available again at any time. That means that energy is consumed where it is generated, reducing grid losses and creating self-sufficiency. However, this also increases the complexity of systems. Which makes it more difficult for planners, installers and operators to construct such systems safely and in accordance with the recognized rules of technology, to integrate them into existing systems and to operate them safely. This book deals with the various storage concepts, taking into account the currently valid installation regulations. It serves as a guide for planners, installers and operators on the complex topic of storage systems. The following topics are included: Terms and definitions Application of technical regulations VDE-AR-E 2510-2 Operating modes Protective measures in electrical plants with storage Erection of generating plants Requirements for grid connection Installation of storage tanks Testing of storage tanks

        Compliant Installation of Photovoltaics

        by Heinz-Dieter Fröse

        The number of installed photovoltaic systems is constantly increasing; the trend is clearly upward. However, inspectors of these systems repeatedly find a large number of defects that impair the systems' functionality. Consequences are considerable damage during natural events or through many years of operation. This book provides installers with comprehensive information on: Preparatory measures for the installation of a photovoltaic system, Selection of products, Installation regulations, Electrotechnical installation guidelines, Regular inspections, Work safety, Important aspects of practical implementation, Electrotechnical testing and documentation of photovoltaic systems, and Maintenance of photovoltaic systems. The updated 4th edition taks all current standards, regulations and guidelines into account.
