The world appears to be emerging from the worst economic crisis in decades. Many countries have made pledges under the Copenhagen Accord to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Commitments have also been ...made by the G-20 and APEC to phase out inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies. Are we, at last, on the path to a secure, reliable and environmentally sustainable energy system?Updated projections of energy demand, production, trade and investment, fuel by fuel and region by region to 2035 are provided in the 2010 edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO). It includes, for the first time, anewscenario that anticipates future actions by governments to meet the commitments they have made to tackle climate change and growing energy insecurity.WEO-2010shows:· what more must be done and spent to achieve the goal of the Copenhagen Accordto limit the global temperature increase to 2°C and how these actions would impact on oil markets,· how emerging economies led by China and India will increasingly shape the global energy landscape,· what role renewablescan play in a clean and secure energy future, · what removing fossil-fuel subsidieswould mean for energy markets, climate change and state budgets,· the trends in Caspian energy marketsand the implications for global energy supply,· the prospects for unconventional oil, and· how to give the entire global population access to modern energy services.With extensive data, projections and analysis, WEO-2010provides invaluable insights into how the energy system could evolve over the next quarter of a century. The book is essential reading for anyone with a stake in the energy sector.
After two decades, policy makers and regulators agree that electricity market reform, liberalization and privatization remains partly art. Moreover, the international experience suggests that in ...nearly all cases, initial market reform leads to unintended consequences or introduces new risks, which must be addressed in subsequent "reform of the reforms." This volume describes the evolution of the market reform process including a number of challenging issues such as infrastructure investment, resource adequacy, capacity and demand participation, market power, distributed generation, renewable energy and global climate change.
Energy Technology Perspectives 2010 presents updated scenarios from the present to 2050 that show which new technologies will be most important in key sectors and in different regions of the world. ...It highlights the importance of finance to achieve change, examines the implications of the scenarios for energy security and looks at how to accelerate the deployment of low-carbon technologies in major developing countries. It presents roadmaps and transition pathways for spurring deployment of the most important clean technologies and for overcoming existing barriers.
Presenting the newest approaches to the design and operation of steam turbines, this book also explores modern techniques for refurbishment of aging units. It covers recent engineering breakthroughs ...and new approaches to transient operating conditions, as well as improved information support for operational personnel. An authoritative guide for power plant engineers, operators, owners and designers on all of these crucial developments, this book fully describes and evaluates the most important new design and operational improvement opportunities for the full spectrum of today’s steam turbines – from the newest and most advanced to the more common existing systems.
"Electrical power is ubiquitous and continuously increasing in demand, with the result that power systems often operate close to their stability and thermal ratings. In order to tackle this problem, ...extraordinary changes are now taking place in the electrical supply industry worldwide, and conventional electromechanical technologies are becoming replaced by power electronics equipment. ""Improvement in the Quality of Delivery of Electrical Energy using Power Electronics Systems"" provides a detailed review of power electronics systems, covering both Flexible AC Transmissions Systems (FACTS) and Custom Power Systems (CUPS). ""Improvement in the Quality of Delivery of Electrical Energy using Power Electronics Systems"" is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced postgraduate students in the fields of power quality improvement and distributed electrical power systems. This monograph will also be of interest to professionals working in industries such as telecommunication, where solutions are needed to improve the quality of the electrical power supply."
