This book proposes a method for grid integration assessment and certification of renewable energy , mainly through on-site inspection, simulation and on-site testing. It has established a renewable energy grid integrated certification system, combining "standards-test-certify", which is an effective means to ensure the power performance of renewable energy. The content of this book is selective, forward-looking and practical. It is easy to understand, with theoretical and technical analysi...

Comprehensive resource on the fundamentals, recent research developments, and applications of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs)Triboelectric Nanogenerators delivers a comprehensive overview of a lightweight, low cost, and high-efficiency sustainable mechanical energy harvesting technique that draws from the ambient environment and has high output and extremely flexible structural designs.The book starts with an introduction on triboelectric nano...

Algae are sunlight-driven cell factories, and can efficiently absorb CO2 and convert light energy to chemical energy such as lipid, starch and other carbohydrates and release O2. Algal feedstock is a promising resource for bioproduct production, given its high photosynthetic efficiency for producing biomass compared to conventional crops. Microalgae can be used for flue-gas and wastewater bioremediation. This book highlights recent breakthroughs in the multidisciplinary areas of algal biot...

The energy demands of contemporary society mandate the urgent development and commercialisation of a ‘post-Li-ion battery’. Metal anodes are an important piece of this puzzle. This research and reference text discusses the role of metal electrodes in batteries in detail. Introducing the fundamental theoretical properties of metal anodes, the book surveys the history and prospects of the field, covering a wide range of metals, including Li, Na, K, Mg, Al, Zn, Ge, Sn, Sb and Bi. The first bo...

The inverse design approach is new to the built environment research and design community, though it has been used in other industries including automobile and airplane design. This book, from some of the pioneers of inverse design applications in the built environment, introduces the basic principles of inverse design and the specific techniques that can be applied to built environment systems. The authors' inverse design concept uses the desired enclosed environment as the design objecti...
