The author also presents models for the connection of these renewable energy sources from large-scale to on-site and community power/microgrids. The models are explained through case studies in the developed and developing worlds that explore how technical evaluations are conducted, policy incentives implemented, and project finance applied.Considering the increasing importance of renewable energy for climate change mitigation, this book provides an overview of how renewable energy sources are integrated into the grid to promote better understanding among students and business professionals in the utility sector and across industries. Most literature on grid interconnection is highly technical, assuming an in-depth understanding of electrical engineering. With the rise of clean technologies and the diversity of interconnection models, this guide fills a gap in the existing literature by equipping non-technical business managers with the salient information they need to make critical decisions for their organizations. 410 0$aIssn 610 $aBusiness 610 $aBusiness & Economics 700 $aGinsberg$b Michael$01641863 701 $aSachs$b Jeffrey$0120952 701 $aNozik$b Arthur J$01641864 701 $aFthenakis$b Vasilis M$01603716 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823510603321 996 $aHarness It$93986229 997 $aUNINA
