Renewable Energy - Volume 2: Wave, Geothermal, and Bioenergy: Definitions, Developments, Applications, Case Studies, and Modelling and Simulation is the next volume in this comprehensive resource for those wanting an extensive reference on these specialized technologies. Providing a structured approach to the emerging technologies and advances in implementation of Geothermal and Biofuels systems, this reference addresses geothermal and biofuel coverage in a logical and accessible arrangement. From definitions to developments in technology and applications, to case studies, modelling examples and lifecycle analysis, this book considers the most requested and desirable practical elements of geothermal and biofuel technologies from an applied perspective.
This coordinated approach allows for stand alone, accessible and functioning chapters dedicated to particular energy sources. This is a suitable reference for students and post-doctoral research fellows working on projects related to renewable energy, sustainability and energy system design.
