Renewable Energy Systems: A Smart Energy Systems Approach to the Choice and Modeling of Fully Decarbonized Societies Third Edition includes updates from globally recognized renewable energy researcher and professor, Henrik Lund, who sets forth a comprehensive methodology for comparing different energy systems’ abilities to integrate fluctuating and intermittent renewable energy sources to achieve a fully decarbonized society. The book presents an energy system analysis methodology, providing the results of more than 15 comprehensive studies, examining the large-scale integration of renewable energy and presenting concrete design examples derived from a dozen renewable energy systems around the globe.

The book also undertakes the socio-political realities governing the implementation of renewable energy systems by introducing a theoretical framework approach aimed at understanding how major technological changes, such as renewable energy, can be implemented at both the national and international levels. This is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, project managers, policymakers, consultants, and graduate students with an interest in planning, modelling, and implementation of renewable energy systems.

Key Features

Provides an introduction to the technical design of renewable energy systems
Demonstrates how to analyze the feasibility and efficiency of large-scale systems to help implementers avoid costly trial and error
Addresses the socio-political challenge of implementing the shift to renewables
Features a dozen extensive case studies from around the globe that provide real-world templates for new installations
