It also discusses relevant aspects of materials science, physical chemistry, and biophysics. The book is based on the lecture notes of a course taught at TU München to undergraduate and graduate students of Applied Physics and related engineering disciplines. It provides material that can be taught in a one-semester course with 4 hours per week and includes a self-test section to enable students to check their understanding.Graduate Texts in Physics,1868-4521Energy policyEnergy and stateElectric power distributionOptical materialsEnergy storageEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementEnergy Grids and NetworksEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementOptical MaterialsMechanical and Thermal Energy StorageEnergy policy.Energy and state.Electric power distribution.Optical materials.Energy storage.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Energy Grids and Networks.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Optical Materials.Mechanical and Thermal Energy Storage.333.794Stutzmann Martin(Martin),295483Csoklich ChristophMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996503462703316The Physics of Renewable Energy3001995UNISA
