Renewable Energy by Godfrey Boyle
Examines the practical and economic potential of renewable energy sources to provide sustainable energy. The underlying physical and technological principles of these sources are examined within the context of their environmental impacts, economics and future prospects.
This textbook continues the high standards of previous editions in terms of the clarity with which it explains the technologies while offering high quality graphicsBoth the range and quality of photos, tables and figures is improved. The expanded section on the key issues relating to the adoption and integration of different renewable energy technologies at greater volumes is a welcome expansion for the undergraduate or other reader who should know something about the technology's interaction with society and not just the technology. I have compared the new edition with other recent textbooks at the same level and will be continuing to recommend this one to undergraduate students. * Peter Connor, Senior Lecturer in Renewable Energy Policy, University of Exeter *
