Advanced Non-Thermal Power Generation Systems

Generally, sources for power generation are broken down into two categories: thermal and non-thermal. This book examines non-thermal sources of power generation and emphasizes recent advances in distributed power generation systems.

Generally, sources for power generation are broken down into two categories: thermal and non-thermal. Thermal sources for power generation include combustion, geothermal, solar, nuclear, and waste heat, which essentially provide heat as a means for power generation. This book examines non-thermal (mechanical, electrochemical, nanoscale self-powered, and hybrid) sources of power generation and emphasizes recent advances in distributed power generation systems.

Key Features
