Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Rural Electrification poses solutions to the insuperable modern
challenge of providing 24/7 electricity for populations, housing
and territory located outside towns and cities. The book reviews
the historical development of rural energy systems, their status
quo, and the role of renewable and fossil fueled solutions in
delivering electricity. It addresses core issues of energy source
typologies, resource deployment, fundamental challenges and
limitations, the burgeoning threat of climate change, and the role
of the renewable energy transition. Chapters account for almost all
forms of fuel solutions, with a focus on electrification economics,
planning, and policy using the most cost-effective fuels and
systems available. Novel approaches to address the challenges of
rural electrification, including distributed generation systems,
new management and ownership models, off-grid systems, and future
energy technologies are thoroughly explored. The work concludes
with a comparative assessment of different energy supply
technologies and scenarios, contrasting the pros and cons of fossil
fuels versus renewable energy resources to achieve the goal of
comprehensive rural electrification.
