Beschreibung
As the global supply of conventional energy sources, such asfossil fuels, dwindles and becomes more and more expensive,unconventional and renewable sources of energy, such as powergeneration from water sources, is becoming more and moreimportant. Hydropower has been around for decades, but thisbook suggests new methods that are more cost-effective and lessintrusive to the environment for creating power sources fromrivers, the tides, and other sources of water.
The energy available from water currents is potentially muchgreater than society's needs. Presenting a detaileddiscussion of the costs, risks, and challenges of building powerplants that run on hydropower, this highly technicalexplanation of tidal power plants offers engineers practicalapplications of highly efficient and cost-effective powersystems. Not just useful to engineers working in the field,this treatise is a valuable textbook for students and researchersworking in tidal power.
