Ă propos de ce livre
Modern Electricity Systems Awarded "The Best Book for Energy Engineers" by The American Energy Society 2023
A welcome textbook instructing on many current aspects of energy generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption
The importance of a well-informed group of individuals in charge of energy production and use is essential to create a sustainable and greener tomorrow. Technologies and costs are rapidly changing, and environmental goals widely debated in this book. The future of energy is at a crossroads. In addition, energy and technology poverty affects as much as 25% of the world's population. Having the correct set of "tools"âa basic understanding of modern electrical systemsâis essential, not just for engineers but for our leaders and decision-makers.
With decades of experience in industry and academia behind them, the team of authors in Modern Electricity Systems offers a "toolbox" from which the reader will learn what is essential to make informed decisions. As such, this textbook provides an introduction to the fundamentals of how electricity is generated, financed, regulated, rationed, and stored â with consideration not just of the current status of these issues but a glance at what the next decade may hold. Without this basic level of comprehension, the growing global impact and social issues can be discussed and advocated for, but real change in this sector can only be achieved through understanding the systems.
Modern Electricity Systems readers will also find:
- Support to create a course on energy transition and energy policy for sustainable development
- International modern day case studies, that represent the most current and essential topics, to illustrate key concepts, as well as ones focused on the United States
- Sample problem sets that bring together essential ideas learned from each chapter
- A textbook written by a team of working professionals with international experience in real-world applications of policy, engineering, and operations
Modern Electricity Systems is a helpful reference for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and researchers, policymakers, environmentalists, humanitarians, business leaders, and decision-makers in all three sectors of electricity operations, engineering, and policy matters.
