Geothermal Energy The Resource Under Our Feet


Free Download Charles T. Malloy, "Geothermal Energy: The Resource Under Our Feet "
English | ISBN: 160741502X | 2010 | 275 pages | PDF | 13 MB
The Earth houses a vast energy supply in the form of geothermal resources. Domestic resources are equivalent to a 30,000 year energy supply at our current rate for the United States. Geothermal energy is used in all 50 U.S. states today. But, geothermal energy has not reached its full potential as a clean secure energy alternative because of issues with resources, technology, historically low natural gas prices, and public policies. These issues affect the economic competitiveness of geothermal energy. This book explores geothermal energy’s viability, risk and cost analysis.

The Dynamics of EU External Energy Relations Fighting for Energy


Free Download Francesca Batzella, "The Dynamics of EU External Energy Relations: Fighting for Energy"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 0367886812 | EPUB | pages: 162 | 0.6 mb
The Dynamics of EU External Energy Relations examines the behaviour of the European Commission in EU external energy relations paying particular attention to the dynamics existing between the Commission and the member states. It examines the Commission as a constrained policy-entrepreneur trying to expand its power, budget and competences, yet frustrated by member states protective of their national sovereignty.

Renewable Energy Requirements and Sources


Free Download Renewable Energy: Requirements and Sources
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031771842 | 222 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 96 MB
The transition to renewable energy is essential for ensuring energy supply, and to mitigate environmental effects of fossil fuels, particularly climate change. However, because renewable energy resources do not provide a constant supply of energy and they are not sufficiently portable for many applications, the development of energy storage methods is necessary. The book reviews historical and current energy use, as well as provides predictions for future energy demands. The main sources of renewable energy are introduced including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels, along with an analysis of the need for energy storage.

Grounding and Bonding Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems


Free Download Grounding and Bonding Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems
English | 2025 | ISBN: 8770041458 | 146 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This book is designed for energy professionals to expand their understanding of proper grounding and bonding methods for photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems. While grounding and bonding are critical for any electrical distribution system, it is especially pertinent for PV systems due to the potential of high short circuit and ground-fault currents, as well as the possible and likely exposure to high magnitude and short duration lightning currents. This course will offer an in-depth exploration of these essential applications in the context of solar renewable and battery storage systems.
