The book opens by setting the many power generation technologies in the context of global energy consumption  the development of the electricity generation industry and the economics involved in this sector. A series of chapters are each devoted to assessing the environmental and economic impact of a single technology  including conventional technologies  nuclear and renewable (such as solar  wind and hydropower). The technologies are presented in an easily digestible form.Different power generation technologies have different greenhouse gas emissions and the link between greenhouse gases and global warming is a highly topical environmental and political issue. With developed nations worldwide looking to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide  it is becoming increasingly important to explore the effectiveness of a mix of energy generation technologies.Power Generation Technologies gives a clear  unbiased review and comparison of the different types of power generation technologies available. In the light of the Kyoto protocol and OSPAR updates  Power Generation Technologies will provide an invaluable reference text for power generation planners  facility managers  consultants  policy makers and economists  as well as students and lecturers of related Engineering courses.   Provides a unique comparison of a wide range of power generation technologies - conventional  nuclear and renewable Describes the workings and environmental impact of each technology Evaluates the economic viability of each different power generation system\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932726820917,"sku":"ByrdShop_0750663138","price":249.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780750663137.jpg?v=1794229159","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/power-generation-technologies-9780750663137","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
