1. Principles of renewable energy 2. Solar radiation characteristics and impacts: including the greenhouse effect 3. Solar water heating 4. Other solar thermal applications 5. Photovoltaic (PV) power technology 6. Hydropower 7. Wind resource 8. Wind power technology 9. Biomass resources from photosynthesis 10. Bioenergy technologies 11. Wave power 12. Tidal-current and tidal-range power 13. Ocean gradient energy: OTEC and osmotic power 14. Geothermal energy 15. Energy systems: integration, distribution and storage 16. Solar-buildings and efficient energy use; including transportation, manufacture and homes 17. Institutional and economic factors Review 1. Electrical power for renewables Review 2. Essentials of fluid dynamics Review 3. Heat transfer Review 4. Solid-state physics for photovoltaics Appendices App A Units and conversions App B Data and fundamental constants App C Some heat transfer formulas Answers to the Exercises at the end of chapters and reviews Short answers to selected Problems at end of chapters

Summary: Renewable Energy Resources is a numerate and quantitative text. It covers the many renewables technologies implemented worldwide by harnessing sustainable resources, mitigating pollution and climate change, and providing cost effective services. This fourth edition is extensively updated by John Twidell with global developments as underpinned by fundamental analysis and illustrated by case studies and worked examples. Efficiency of end-use and cost-effectiveness is emphasized. Each chapter begins with fundamental scientific theory, and then considers applications, environmental impact and socio-economic aspects, before concluding with Quick Questions for self-revision, Problems and new Exercises. Basic theory underlying the technologies is covered in succinct Reviews of electrical power, fluid dynamics, heat transfer and solid-state physics. Common symbols and cross-referencing apply throughout; essential data are tabulated in Appendices. Renewable Energy Resources supports multidisciplinary master’s degrees in science and engineering, and specialist modules at undergraduate level. Practicing scientists and engineers will find it a useful introductory text and reference book.
