Such systems are frequently based on wind power, solar power, biomass, either singly or in combination. Community energy projects have been growing in numbers in several key regions.</p><p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This book provides an overview of existing and emerging community energy technologies. Topics covered include data-driven methods for prediction of small to medium wind turbines performance; optimisation of wind farms for communities; financing for community wind and photovoltaic project development; community-level solar thermal systems; solar water desalination for small communities; community solar photovoltaic projects; assessing wind loads for urban photovoltaic installations; design optimisation of multi-energy hubs for community energy projects; battery based storage for communities; power-to-gas and power-to-power for storage and ancillary services in urban areas; smart multi-energy microgrids; and conservation and demand management in community energy systems.</p><p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"><i>Wind and Solar Based Energy Systems for Communities</i> is essential reading for researchers and engineers working to develop community energy systems and advance the transition to a clean energy future.</p>Tue, 12 Jun 2018 00:09:56 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/wind-solar-energy-syst-1ehttps://shop.theiet.org:443/methane-and-hydrogen-1st-ed<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Commercial energy storage has moved from the margins to the mainstream as it fosters flexibility in our smarter, increasingly integrated energy systems. Natural gas has been identified by many as the fuel to take us to the no-carbon horizon; where a hydrogen economy waits on development. These two actors are already connected in precursor applications as transitional solutions for hydrogen handling and transportation are sought ahead of a fully established hydrogen infrastructure.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This monograph explores some of leading advances in methane and hydrogen storage as well as the interesting link between these two important elements in our evolving energy system mosaic. Topics covered include: hydrogen absorption for storage; power-to-gas for energy system integration and storage; methanation for power-to-gas applications; production of hydrogen from methane decarbonisation into power to gas scenarios; power-to-gas in an ancillary service market; methane in MOFs: where, why and how; thermal management as a key in storing adsorbed natural gas; and gas hydrate potential and development for methane storage.</p>Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:37:47 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/methane-and-hydrogen-1st-ed
