520 With energy sustainability and security at the forefront
of public discourse worldwide, there is a pressing need to
foster an understanding of clean, safe alternative energy
sources such as solar and wind power. Aldo da Rosa's
highly respected and comprehensive resource fulfills this
need; it has provided thousands of engineers, scientists,
students and professionals alike with a thorough grounding
in the scientific principles underlying the complex world
of renewable energy technologies. This new third edition
of the classic text highlights advances in this vital area,
which are proceeding at an unprecedented pace, allowing
everyone interested in this burgeoning field to keep up
with the latest developments in diverse topics from solar
cooling to renewable energy storage. Illuminates the basic
principles behind all key renewable power sources- solar,
wind, biomass, hydropower & fuel cellsConnects scientific
theory with practical implementation through physical
examples; end-of-chapter questions help readers apply
their knowledge. Written by one of the world's foremost
experts in renewable energy, drawing from his decades of
experience in academia and industry.
