The introduction of micro CHP - the simultaneous production of heat and power in a single building based on small energy conversion units such as Stirling and reciprocating engines or fuel cells - is ...of increasing political and public interest. This book introduces into micro CHP systems and technologies, and presents the results of the first such investigation carried out by four German research bodies.
Practical tasks related to property management and disposal in energy companies can be solved only if the actual property value of these companies is known. Traditional practical property valuation ...methods are based on the analysis of incurred property development costs or financial indicators of activities and are inadequate to account for the influence of environment factors on corporate activities and, in turn, on the value of companies. An analysis model for environment factors affecting energy companies was developed to improve objectiveness of valuation; through analysis of the model’s components it is possible to analyse external macro, meso and microenvironment of a particular company and to assess efficiency of such environment, as well as the impact of separate factors on value. A criteria system developed using the Analysis Model for Environment Factors and the Decision Support System for Measurement of Effect of Environment Factors on Value of Energy Companies, which was developed by the authors, were used to solve a practical task, which helped to evaluate the effectiveness of the Model of Environment Factors. The practical task included measurement of the utility degree and market value of the selected electricity companies and assessment of the impact of the criteria, which affect the environment, on the value of the selected energy companies.
This book makes intelligible the wide range of electricity generating technologies available today, as well as some closely allied technologies such as energy storage. The book opens by setting the ...many power generation technologies in the context of global energy consumption, the development of the electricity generation industry and the economics involved in this sector. A series of chapters are each devoted to assessing the environmental and economic impact of a single technology, including conventional technologies, nuclear and renewable (such as solar, wind and hydropower). The technologies are presented in an easily digestible form.Different power generation technologies have different greenhouse gas emissions and the link between greenhouse gases and global warming is a highly topical environmental and political issue. With developed nations worldwide looking to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide, it is becoming increasingly important to explore the effectiveness of a mix of energy generation technologies. Power Generation Technologies gives a clear, unbiased review and comparison of the different types of power generation technologies available. In the light of the Kyoto protocol and OSPAR updates, Power Generation Technologies will provide an invaluable reference text for power generation planners, facility managers, consultants, policy makers and economists, as well as students and lecturers of related Engineering courses.· Provides a unique comparison of a wide range of power generation technologies - conventional, nuclear and renewable · Describes the workings and environmental impact of each technology · Evaluates the economic viability of each different power generation system
