The book also features new expanded chapters on tidal project proposals, tidal bunds, enhanced geothermal technology, fast-moving areas in marine energy and the development of floating wind turbines. Power Generation Technologies is more than just an account of the technologies ? for each method the author explores the economic and environmental costs and risk factors. Each technology is covered using the same basic criteria, so that comparisons between technologies can be made more easily. Those who are involved in planning and delivering energy, including engineers, managers and policy makers, will find a guide through the minefield of maintaining a reliable power supply, meeting targets on greenhouse gas emissions, and addressing economic and social objectives in this book. Explains in hundreds of diagrams how each technology functions in practice Evaluates the economic and environmental viability of each power generation system covered Features fast-advancing renewable and alternative power sources, such as municipal waste and solar options Applies a fresh focus on the evolution of traditional technologies such as natural gas and ?clean coal? 606 $aElectric power production 615 0$aElectric power production. 676 $a333.79320973 676 $a621.3121 700 $aBreeze$b Paul A.$0626442 801 0$bUMI 801 1$bUMI 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006944503321 996 $aPower generation technologies$91220366 997 $aUNINA
