Technologies for Integrated Energy Systems and Networks (Hardcover)

Explore emerging technologies that will play a central role in humanity's transition to a low-carbon future

In Technologies for Integrated Energy Systems and Networks, a team of distinguished authors delivers a detailed discussion of integrated energy systems and networks, including a comprehensive overview of emerging technologies. The book focuses on the technologies and systems that play a major role in integrated energy systems, like renewable and distributed energy resources, power conversion technologies, hydrogen, storage technologies, electric mobility, zero- and positive-energy buildings, and local energy communities.

A one-of-a-kind and holistic treatment of integrated energy systems, this book explores power conversion, including power-to-gas, power-to-liquid, and power- to-heat technologies, as well as other issues of interest to a broad range of students, professionals, and academicians involved in energy transition. It also covers:

• A thorough introduction to the digitalization of the energy sector and local market development enabling citizen involvement
• Comprehensive explorations of integrated energy systems as an engine of energy transition
• Practical discussions of renewable and distributed energy resources for sustainable economic development
• In-depth examinations of the role of hydrogen in a low-carbon energy future and the storage technologies of different energy carriers

Perfect for electrical, construction, power and energy engineers, Technologies for Integrated Energy Systems and Networks will also earn a place in the libraries of electrochemists and environmental consultants.
