Distributed Renewable Energies for Off-Grid Communities: Empowering
a Sustainable, Competitive, and Secure Twenty-First Century, Second
Edition, is a fully revised reference on advances in achieving
successful energy transition. Addressing the highly dynamic,
complex and multidimensional process of a dominant socio-technical
system transforming into another, this up-to-date reference
addresses all stages of this complex process with data and figures
to demonstrate how to tackle the process of changing a society's
energy circumstance. This new edition provides an updated picture
of renewables in communities and their use, covering energy
concepts, strategies, prospects and combining all aspects to
provide a roadmap to self-sustainable development. Addressing the
influence of society on the development of renewable industry, this
book provides guidelines with case studies, along with trends and
innovative practices regarding renewable energy and their
applications with a goal of successfully establishing smooth energy
transitions in self-sustainable communities.
More than two billion people worldwide have currently no access to
grid electricity or other efficient energy supply. This is one
third of humanity and the majority live in rural areas. The
productivity and health of these people are diminished by reliance
on traditional fuels and technologies, with women and children
suffering most. Energy is the key element to empower people and
ensure water, food and fodder supply as well as rural development.
Therefore access to energy should be treated as the fundamental
right to everybody. Renewable energy has the potential to bring
power, not only in the literal sense, to communities by
transforming their prospects.
This book offers options that meet the needs of people and
communities for energy and engage them in identifying and planning
their own provision. It describes updated renewable energy
technologies and offers strategies and guidelines for the planning
and implementation of sustainable energy supply for individuals and
communities.
