Comprehensively analysing all major issues involved in such large scale applications, based on the latest scientific and technological developments and by means of close international co-operation with experts from different countries. From the perspective of the global energy situation, global warming, and other environmental issues, it is apparent that VLS-PV systems can: contribute substantially to global energy needs; become economically and technologically feasible soon; contribute significantly to the global environment protection; contribute significantly to socio-economic development. Energy policies around the world are gradually changing direction to focus less on nuclear energy with the expectation to turn to denuclearization entirely with the negative impacts of nuclear energy, while in parallel the importance of and expectations for renewable energy technologies are increasing drastically as possible energy infrastructure, as well as environmental friendly technology. This book recognises that very large scale solar electricity generation provides economic, social and environmental benefits, security of electricity supply and fair access to affordable and sustainable energy solutions and that VLS-PV systems must be one of the promising options for large-scale deployment of PV systems and renewable energy technologies"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPhotovoltaic power generation 606 $aPhotovoltaic power systems 606 $aDesert resources development 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhotovoltaic power generation. 615 0$aPhotovoltaic power systems. 615 0$aDesert resources development. 676 $a621.31/244 701 $aKomoto$b Keiichi$0894148 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465165703321 996 $aVery large scale PV power$91997316 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03475nam 2200601 a 450 001 9910780906403321 005 20230721005535.0 010 $a1-282-44287-2 010 $a9786612442872 010 $a981-4273-79-1 035 $a(CKB)2550000000003010 035 $a(EBL)477094 035 $a(OCoLC)588987308 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000336641 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11234070 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000336641 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10282298 035 $a(PQKB)11775680 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC477094 035 $a(WSP)00000488 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL477094 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10361677 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL244287 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000003010 100 $a20090327d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDestructive creativity of Wall St. and the East Asian response$b[electronic resource] /$fMichael Heng Siam-Heng, Lim Tai Wei 210 $aSingapore ;$aHackensack, NJ $cWorld Scientific$dc2009 215 $a1 online resource (267 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a981-4273-78-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 227-247) and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Potted history of banking and finance -- In the shadow of depression? -- Financial engineering, or what can go wrong will -- Financial architecture, 1 -- Financial architecture, 2 -- Reforming the IMF : from fire fighting to fire prevention -- Regulation and deregulation -- Back to basics -- Counter-cyclical measures -- Some deeper issues -- The 1997 Asian financial crisis -- Ten years after the Asian financial crisis : positive lessons learned -- Ten years after the Asian financial crisis : negative lessons learned -- Deconstructing the state-led model -- Reforming the state-led model -- The global financial crisis 2008 -- Impact and immediate response to the crisis in East Asia -- Coordinating with the region and the world -- ASEAN economic regionalism : a regional financial architecture in the making? -- Forming an economic community -- A shift in power center? -- What now? -- Coping with challenges. 330 $aThe current financial crisis provides a valuable occasion for the world to re-examine the grand statements of wisdom which dominate the financial world for a long time. The impact is extremely serious as a result of the convergence of a number of factors such as huge current account deficits of the United States, globalization, deregulation, loose monetary policy, and excessive liquidity. This book seeks to address the critical issues in deregulation, derivatives, leveraging, remuneration systems, and rating agencies.
