商品描述

The new edition of Power Generation Technologies is a concise and readable guide that provides an introduction to the full spectrum of currently available power generation options, from traditional fossil fuels and the better established alternatives such as wind and solar power, to emerging renewables such as biomass and geothermal energy. Technology solutions such as combined heat and power and distributed generation are also explored. However, this book 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 involved in planning and delivering energy - including engineers, managers and policy makers - will find in this book a guide through the minefield of maintaining a reliable power supply, meeting targets on greenhouse gas emissions, and addressing economic and social objectives.

  • Provides a unique comparison of a wide range of power generation technologies from oil, coal, nuclear and natural gas, to geothermal, wind, solar, and bioenergy
  • Hundreds of diagrams demystify how each technology functions in practice
  • Evaluates the economic and environmental viability of each power generation system covered

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

  • New chapters covering fast-advancing renewable and alternative power sources such as municipal waste and concentrating solar plants
  • Fresh focus the evolution of traditional technologies such as natural gas and "clean coal"
  • Expanded coverage of distributed power generation and CHP (combined heat and power) technologies

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《發電技術》新版是一本簡明易讀的指南,介紹了目前可用的各種發電選項,從傳統化石燃料和較為成熟的替代能源(如風能和太陽能)到新興可再生能源(如生物質和地熱能)。同時也探討了諸如聯合供熱和分散式發電等技術解決方案。然而,這本書不僅僅是對技術的介紹,作者還探討了每種方法的經濟和環境成本以及風險因素。每種技術都使用相同的基本標準進行介紹,以便更容易進行比較。從規劃和提供能源的人員,包括工程師、經理和政策制定者,都可以在這本書中找到一個指南,幫助他們在確保可靠的電力供應、實現溫室氣體排放目標以及解決經濟和社會目標之間找到平衡。

本書的特點包括:
- 提供了對各種發電技術的獨特比較,包括石油、煤炭、核能、天然氣、地熱能、風能、太陽能和生物能等。
- 通過數百個圖表解析每種技術的實際運作方式。
- 評估了每種發電系統的經濟和環境可行性。

本版的新增內容包括:
- 新增章節,介紹了快速發展的可再生和替代能源,如城市廢棄物和集中式太陽能發電廠。
- 更加關注傳統技術的演進,如天然氣和“清潔煤”。
- 擴大了對分散式發電和聯合供熱技術的覆蓋範圍。
