Beschreibung
This textbook provides a basic, yet concise understanding of the interrelationships of energy conversion processes. It covers the entire range of energy technology and also serves as a reference work. The focus begins with an outline of global warming with climate policy, ranges from the complete description of sustainable renewable energy technologies to conventional and combination power plants, including combined heat and power plants, to energy storage and energy distribution. The changes, especially to the German energy policy regarding the energy transition, are introduced in the various chapters through careful revisions.
