Download or read book Solar Energy written by Tom P. Hough and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar energy is derived ultimately from the sun. It can be divided into direct and indirect categories. Most energy sources on Earth are forms of indirect solar energy, although we usually don't think of them in that way. Coal, oil and natural gas derive from ancient biological material which took its energy from the sun (via plant photosynthesis) millions of years ago. All the energy in wood and foodstuffs also comes from the sun. Movement of the wind (which causes waves at sea), and the evaporation of water to form rainfall which accumulates in rivers and lakes, are also powered by the sun. Therefore, hydroelectric power and wind and wave power are forms of indirect solar energy. Direct solar energy is what we usually mean when we speak of solar power -- it is the use of sunlight for heating or generating electricity. Solar energy research and applications have been receiving increasing attention throughout the world as solar energy must play a much greater role in the energy mix in upcoming years. This book examines new research in this frontier field.
Download or read book Indirect Solar Water Heating in Single Family Zero Energy Ready Homes written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar water heating systems are not new, but they have not become prevalent in most of the U.S. Most of the country is cold enough that indirect solar thermal systems are required for freeze protection, and average installed cost of these systems is $9,000 to $10,000 for typical systems on single-family homes. These costs can vary significantly in different markets and with different contractors, and federal and regional incentives can reduce these up-front costs by 50% or more. In western Massachusetts, an affordable housing developer built a community of 20 homes with a goal of approaching zero net energy consumption. In addition to excellent thermal envelopes and PV systems, the developer installed a solar domestic water heating system (SDHW) on each home. The Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings (CARB), a research consortium funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Building America program, commissioned some of the systems, and CARB was able to monitor detailed performance of one system for 28 months.

Book excerpt: Limited reserves of fossil fuels and their negative environmental effects impose significant problems in our energy security and sustainability. Consequently, researchers are looking for renewable energy sources, for instance solar and geothermal energy, to meet the energy demands of a growing world population. However, terrestrial solar energy is a dilute resource per footprint area and is intermittent showing substantial variability depending on the season, time of the day, and location. Nowadays, the use of geothermal energy for power generation is attracting favourable attention because, unlike other types of renewable energy, it is independent of weather and seasons and can achieve high-load-factor power generation all year round. CO2 emissions are as low as those for nuclear power. Moreover, geothermal energy is both abundant and, in practical terms, unlimited. Japan, with its many volcanoes and hot springs, has great prospective for geothermal power generation. Geothermal power generation is also well established in the U.S., the Philippines, Mexico, and Indonesia. In topical years, Iceland and Kenya have been mainly active in the introduction of geothermal power generation.This book `Solar and Geothermal Energy¿ presents the status of energy needs and renewables, potential, utilization and the importance of geothermal energy. It also gives a comparison between geothermal energy and solar energy sources regarding environmental issues. It continues with novel technologies of producing organic fuels through solar heating, geothermal energy techniques, new types of photovoltaic cells, long term use of thermal solar power plants, the efficiency of thermal storage and applications of the Solar power. Therefore, it is expected that geothermal energy and solar energy development will significantly speed up in the future. The overall approach is interdisciplinary, covering the economic, social, and environmental and policy issues from the point of research on solar and geothermal energy. It also tackles the physical and engineering aspects. The book will, therefore, strongly appeal to non-specialist readers who wish to improve their understanding of this multifaceted, attractive and increasingly important subject.

Download or read book Geothermal Energy Utilization and Technologies 2020 written by Carlo Roselli and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising pollution, climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels are leading many countries to focus on renewable-based energy conversion systems. In particular, recently introduced energy policies are giving high priority to increasing the use of renewable energy sources, the improvement of energy systems’ security, the minimization of greenhouse gas effect, and social and economic cohesion. Renewable energies’ availability varies during the day and the seasons and so their use must be accurately predicted in conjunction with the management strategies based on load shifting and energy storage. Thus, in order to reduce the criticalities of this uncertainty, the exploitation of more flexible and stable renewable energies, such as the geothermal one, is necessary. Geothermal energy is an abundant renewable source with significant potential in direct use applications, such as in district heating systems, in indirect use ones to produce electricity, and in cogeneration and polygeneration systems for the combined production of power, heating, and cooling energy. This Special Issue includes geothermal energy utilization and the technologies used for its exploitation considering both the direct and indirect use applications.
