El Bassam, P.

Two-thirds of the new demand will come from developing nations, with China accounting for 30%. Without adequate attention to the critical importance of energy to all these aspects, the global, social, economic and environmental goals of sustainability cannot be achieved. Indeed the magnitude of change needed is immense, fundamental and directly related to the energy produced and consumed nationally and internationally. Today, it is estimated that more than two billion people worldwide lack access to modern energy resources. Distributed Renewable Energies for Off-Grid Communities provides various options and case studies related to the potential of renewable energies along with their environmental, economic and social dimensions. Case studies provide you with solutions to for future decentralized energy supply. Expanded coverage over previous work in the field to include coverage of rural and urban communities Provides new solutions for future decentralized energy supply. 0aSmall power production facilities. 0aDistributed generation of electric power. 0aRenewable energy sources. 0aElectric power distribution. 0aEnergy development. 7aDistributed generation of electric power.2fast 7aElectric power distribution.2fast 7aEnergy development.2fast 7aRenewable energy sources.2fast 7aSmall power production facilities.2fast 4aElectronic books.1 aMaegaard, Preben.1 aSchlichting, Marcia Lawton.08iPrint version.aEl Bassam, Nasir.tDistributed renewable energies for off-grid communities.dAmsterdam ; Boston : Elsevier, 2013z9780123971784w(OCoLC)80232681540uhttp://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio11613516zACADEMIC - Sustainable Energy & Development  2ddccBK  c355972d355972  00102ddc40708NFICaCAS-EbCAS-EcNEWd2016-01-27eGolden booksg8971.50l0o333.794 BAS-D 2013pCAS-E0001446r2016-01-27tc-2w2016-01-27yBK  00102ddc40708NFICaCAS-EbCAS-EcNEWd2016-01-27eGolden booksg8971.50l0o333.794 BAS-D 2013pCAS-E0001445r2016-01-27tc-1w2016-01-27yBK
