Résumé

This book covers all aspects of renewable energy, from the processes on the sun and in the atmosphere that give rise to solar radiation, wind, waves, evaporation and the precipitation, forests and plants, over the techniques for deriving energy for society from each of the natural energy flows, to the economic environmental impacts of each of the natural energy flows and the economic and environmental impacts of using renewable energy. Along the way, auxiliary technologies for energy management and storage are introduced, in order to show how demand can be met at all times despite use of variable energy sources.
