Weaving new technologies into existing monolithic processes remains the accepted pathway for implementing change, and can be more aptly classified as maintenance rather than restructuring. In an effort to revitalize a technologically dormant electrical industry in need of fresh approaches, Electricity Power Generation integrates historical analysis, insight into emerging power sources, and forward-thinking perspective to help spur innovative new ways for harnessing energy.Electricity Power Generation looks at conventional power sources such as hydroelectric, thermal, and nuclear power production, along with current renewable alternatives, such as wind and solar energy, to provide an overall view of where power generation has taken us and where it can eventually lead us. This book:. Offers basic insight into the power sector and offers the latest technology. Can be used as a comprehensive reference tool and a teaching aid. Is highly illustrated and written in language that is simple and easy to read . Contains chapters on the compelling developments in tidal and wave energy. Covers power marketing and how it is shaping the methods for generating powerAs power generation operates within the context of environmental issues, exploration of new energy solutions becomes paramount. Electricity Power Generation focuses on this concern and calls for the development of a new paradigm-one that champions sustainability by advancing powerful alternatives for cleaner and more efficient ways of generating power.
