In this book, Bent Sorenson provides strategies for the efficient conversion, transmission and storage of all forms of renewable energy. The book provides the reader with a complete background on how renewable energy is transformed into power and the best methods for transmitting and storing the energy produced. Specific to this book is a discussion of conversion processes and storage 606 $aRenewable energy sources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 676 $a621.042 700 $aSørensen$b Bent$f1941-$0433357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453403403321 996 $aRenewable energy conversion, transmission, and storage$92490276 997 $aUNINA
