Product DescriptionA technical and economic review of emerging waste disposal technologies Intended for a wide audience ranging from engineers and academics to decision-makers in both the public and private sectors, Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion Processes: Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons reviews the current state of the solid waste disposal industry. It details how [...]
Energy Harvesting: Solar, Wind, and Ocean Energy Conversion Systems
Product DescriptionAlso called energy scavenging, energy harvesting captures, stores, and uses “clean” energy sources by employing interfaces, storage devices, and other units. Unlike conventional electric power generation systems, renewable energy harvesting does not use fossil fuels and the generation units can be decentralized, thereby significantly reducing transmission and distribution losses. But advanced technical methods must [...]
Carbons for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Systems
Product DescriptionAs carbons are widely used in energy storage and conversion systems, there is a rapidly growing need for an updated book that describes their physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties. Edited by those responsible for initiating the most progressive conference on Carbon for Energy Storage and Environment Protection (CESEP), this book undoubtedly fills this need. [...]
Third Generation Photovoltaics: Advanced Solar Energy Conversion
Product DescriptionPhotovoltaics, the direct conversion of sunlight to electricity, is now the fastest growing technology for electricity generation. Present “first generation” products use the same silicon wafers as in microelectronics. “Second generation” thin-films, now entering the market, have the potential to greatly improve the economics by eliminating material costs. Martin Green, one of the world’s [...]
