This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses trends in the energy industries of emerging economies in all continents. It provides the forum for dissemination and exchange of scientific and engineering information on the theoretical generic and applied areas of scientific and engineering knowledge relating to electrical power infrastructure in the global marketplace. It is a timely reference to modern deregulated energy infrastructure: challenges of restructuring electricity markets in emerging economies. The topics deal with nuclear and hydropower worldwide; biomass; energy potential of the oceans; geothermal energy; reliability; wind power; integrating renewable and dispersed electricity into the grid; electricity markets in Africa, Asia, China, Europe, India, Russia, and in South America. In addition the merits of GHG programs and markets on the electrical power industry, market mechanisms and supply adequacy in hydro-dominated countries in Latin America, energy issues under deregulated environments (including insurance issues) and the African Union and new partnerships for Africa's development is considered.

Download or read book Empowering Electricity written by Julie L. MacArthur and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is known for being an energy-producing nation – with much attention being paid to the Alberta tar sands and their large carbon footprint. This book looks at a very different part of the Canadian energy sector: the hundreds of renewable energy co-ops that have sprung up across the nation. These co-ops are democratically structured, community-based organizations that use sun, wind, rivers, tides, and plant and animal waste as sources of local power generation. Empowering Electricity offers an illuminating analysis of these co-ops within the context of larger debates over climate change, renewable electricity policy, sustainable community development, and provincial power-sector ownership. It looks at the conditions that led to this new wave of co-operative development, examines their form and location, and shines a light on the promises and challenges accompanying their development.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of Nova Scotia energy sector in 2004 Summary In 2003 and 2004, the Nova Scotia Department of Energy released annual "progress reports", intended to explain how the province was meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the 2001 Energy Strategy. [...] The province's existing Energy Strategy discuses energy security, primarily in terms of how the province's offshore natural gas supplies could be used to enhance the energy security of Nova Scotia, Canada and the US. [...] The reality is that the vast majority of the province's energy is imported leaving the Nova Scotia vulnerable to the volatility of the world energy markets. [...] One of the expected benefits of the offshore, touted by the Energy Strategy, was the development of a strong offshore services sector. [...] Given the decline in natural gas production from Nova Scotia's offshore, LNG appears to be one of the ways the province can continue to be a "player" in the natural gas field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of academics and other experts from across Canada, Carleton University's School of Public Policy and Administration's annual book takes a focused and robust look at an era where a political coronation seemed inevitable but high expectations had to be managed downwards almost immediately. A less-than-buoyant fiscal surplus, escalating concerns about liberal ethics and corruption, and a growing volatility in public opinion are examined as are Canadians' increasingly uncertain views about the new Liberal leadership versus the old Liberal Party's ten-year hold on power. A new Conservative Party and a suddenly feisty New Democratic Party are also a central part of the new 2004-2005 Canadian political and policy milieu.

Download or read book Making Electricity Resilient written by Antti Silvast and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy risk and security have become topical matters in Western and international policy discussions; ranging from international climate change mitigation to investment in energy infrastructures to support economic growth and more sustainable energy provisions. As such, ensuring the resilience of more sustainable energy infrastructures against disruptions has become a growing concern for high-level policy makers. Drawing on interviews, participant observation, policy analysis, and survey research, this book unpacks the work of the authorities, electricity companies, and lay persons that keeps energy systems from failing and helps them to recover from disruptions if they occur. The book explores a number of important issues: the historical security policy of energy infrastructures; control rooms where electricity is traded and maintained in real time; and electricity consumers in their homes. Presenting case studies from Finland and Scandinavia, with comparisons to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union at large, Making Electricity Resilient offers a detailed and innovative analysis of long-term priorities and short-term dynamics in energy risk and resilience. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and security, and science and technology studies.
