WAVE AND CURRENT POWER GENERATION Written by two well-known and
respected engineers, this exciting new volume is the most
up-to-date and comprehensive text on power generation from waves
and water currents available today to engineers, scientists, and
students, also covering the latest advances in wind power
generation. As the world turns further and further away from fossil
fuel energy sources, unconventional and renewable sources of
energy, such as power generation from water sources and wind
energy, are becoming more and more important. Hydropower has been
around for decades, but this book suggests new methods that are
more cost-effective and less intrusive to the environment for
creating power sources from rivers, the tides, and other sources of
water. Written by two experts in the field, it also covers wind
energy and how it can be more efficiently harnessed. This
groundbreaking new volume deals with modern problems of using wind
energy, namely, jet currents in the atmosphere and the energy of
water flows of rivers, ocean and sea currents, including those
caused by tides. Wind and water-based energy sources form an
essential part of the renewable energy solution. The engineering
measures discussed in this book prove, for example, that by
reducing the rate of dissipation of atmospheric surface low-level
currents by only one percent, it is possible to provide all of
humanity with energy at rates twice the per capita consumption of
the wealthiest countries. Whether for the veteran engineer or the
engineering student, this book is a must-have for any library.
Wave, Wind and Current Power Generation: Is one of the first books
available on wave and current power generation containing
information for engineers to use for solving day-to-day problems
Assists engineers in rapidly analyzing problems and finding
effective design methods and select mechanical specifications
Provides methods and proven fundamentals of process design for
practical application Helps achieve optimum operations and process
conditions and shows how to translate design fundamentals into
mechanical equipment specifications Covers not just wave and
current power generation, but also has a section on wind power
generation and a comprehensive overview of renewable energy in the
world today
