The use of combined heat and power (CHP) plants and renewable
energy sources reduces the amount of greenhouse gases released into
the atmosphere and helps to alleviate the consequent climate
change. The policies of many governments suggest that the
proportion of electrical energy produced by these sources will
increase dramatically over the next two decades. Unlike traditional
generating units, these new types of power plant are usually
'embedded' in the distribution system or 'dispersed' around the
network. As a result, conventional design and operating practices
are no longer applicable; for example, power protection principles
have to be revised and complex economic questions need to be
resolved. This book, intended for both students and practising
engineers, addresses all the issues pertinent to the implementation
of embedded generation. Much of the material was originally
developed for the UMIST MSc/CPD course in Electrical Power
Engineering so there is a strong tutorial element. However, since
this subject is evolving very rapidly, the authors also discuss the
technical and commercial consequences of the very high penetration
of embedded generation that are to be expected in the years ahead.
This booklet focuses on promoting transport and traction services
as viable diversification enterprises for smallholder farmers and
other in rural areas. It considers the benefits that can arise from
such enterprises, not only for smallholders themselves, but also to
local communities in overall terms through increased productivity,
improved and faster marketing, better mobility and reduced
drudgery.
