The main renewable energy sources analysed are wind turbine generators, hydroelectric plant, and solar PV systems. The book presents a robust evaluation framework that can be used in the renewable energy analysis process. One of the main findings is the identification of short-term variations associated mainly with wind turbine electrical generator power output signals. These short-term variations are negating the potential advantages of installing wind turbine electrical generators. One of the suggested methods to counteract the short-term variations is the use of energy storage. Without utility-sized energy storage, binding energy targets will be very difficult to achieve. The three main realms of sustainable development, namely environmental, economic, and human realms, are discussed throughout the book. The three realms are closely interlinked so a weakness identified in any one realm affects the overall sustainability of the (business, country, any organisation) development process. . 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3537 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aSustainability 606 $aElectric power distribution 606 $aElectric power-plants 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnergy Grids and Networks 606 $aPower Stations 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aElectric power distribution. 615 0$aElectric power-plants. 615 14$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aEnergy Grids and Networks. 615 24$aPower Stations. 676 $a338.95 700 $aKealy$b Tony$0935195 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910882899903321 996 $aEmpirical Evaluation of Renewable Energy Projects for Sustainable Development$94209779 997 $aUNINA
