Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems, Third Edition

Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems, Third Edition

Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems adds enormously, in a clear and comprehensive way, to the foundational understanding of our energy challenges and opportunities. It is clearer today, than ever before, that our global community needs to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy economy. This latest edition reflects the recognition that to do so, a better understanding of all energy generation and end use sources and options is required. It is most appropriate that this edition adds very relevant chapters on energy efficiency, fossil and nuclear energy, and expands the text to include integrating variable renewable energy into the existing electricity grid.

While support for clean energy alternatives has never been higher, the obstacles to achieving a true energy transformation that appropriately values low-carbon alternatives remain formidable. Additionally, this book examines the practical aspects surrounding the widespread adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy systems in the context of new technology developments, policies, and evolving global markets.
