Editorial Reviews

Suitable as a text for a graduate or undergraduate course in energy technology and environmental conservation. Describes mature state-of- the-art advanced energy systems and those emerging energy technologies that have already proven their feasibility in large-scale demonstration projects and are therefore on the brink of full-scale commercialization. They include combined-cycle gas turbine and steam power plants, various improved gas turbine configurations, coal-based low-emission, co-generation plants, advanced wind and solar systems, and energy storage systems.
