Springer Verlag, Singapore Energy and Environment in the Tropics
Book SynopsisThe tropical zones are dominated by developing countries, which mainly face problematic environmental issues. Different than four-season countries, tropical countries have a continuous summer-like season and therefore they are rich in clean energy sources like solar and biomass. Hence, the mitigations of environment and energy issues in the tropics would require specific understanding and different approach to solutions. This book offers an assortment of studies on scenarios of environment as well as energy demand and power generation technologies in the tropics. Many of the countries within the tropics are highly populated, and this results in various problems related to the environment and energy. The demand for energy in these countries keeps increasing but concurrently there are also environmental issues that require serious attention. As the global concern on the environment is alarming today, the choice of power generation should be of the cleanest possible resource. This various reports on research activities carried out in the tropics on the aspect of environment and energy presented in this book are highly beneficial for those who like to see an improvement in the tropics with regard to environment and energy systems.Table of Contents1.

ISEAS From Darkness to Light: Energy Security
Book SynopsisThis book aims to assess multidimensional aspects of energy security in the electricity sector. There are few academic literature that assess regulation and governance, availability, technology development and efficiency, environmental sustainability, and affordability dimension comprehensively. This book demonstrates how these dimensions are interconnected. The publication of this book comes at a timely moment when the Indonesian government needs to provide electricity access to more than 60 million people, to speed up electrification ratio outside Java, to reduce electricity subsidy, and to promote green power system. Moving from “darkness to light”, Indonesia needs to strengthen regulation and governance as a basis to elevate other dimensions to move forward.

Taylor & Francis Introduction to Energy Analysis
Book SynopsisThis textbook provides an introduction to energy analysis for those students who want to specialise in this challenging field. In comparison to other textbooks, this book provides a balanced treatment of complete energy systems, covering the demand side, the supply side, and the energy markets that connect these. The emphasis is very much on presenting a range of tools and methodologies that will help students find their way in analysing real world problems in energy systems. This new edition has been updated throughout and contains additional content on energy transitions and improvements in the treatment of several energy systems analysis approaches. Featuring learning objectives, further readings and practical exercises in each chapter, Introduction to Energy Analysis will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students with a background in the natural sciences and engineering. This book may also be useful for professionals dealing with energy issues, as a first introduction into the field.Trade Review"This book offers a broad overview of topics in energy analysis, and is very suitable for beginners in this field of science. It contains a large variety of exercises, making it a valuable resource for students to study the content and test their understanding in their own time and at their own pace." Wilfried Ivens, Associate Professor at Open Universiteit NederlandPraise for the second edition"Introduction to Energy Analysis provides a wonderful combination of technical detail and broad accessibility to the physical science and economics principles of energy systems design, operation, and impacts. With the exciting evolution of the energy field this is the sort of roadmap to the principles underlying the field that so many experts and non-experts will need."Daniel Kammen, Professor of Energy, University of California, Berkeley, USA"Given the rapid developments in the energy sector, Introduction to Energy Analysis by Blok and Nieuwlaar is most welcome. The book is suitable for students, engineers and researchers and is hugely useful in my class on Energy System Analysis at ETH Zurich."Göran Andersson, Full Professor of the Power Systems Group at ETH Zurich, Switzerland"[In this updated edition] Blok and Nieuwlaar provide an excellent, clear and concise overview and introduction to the key aspects of energy analysis. It is the ultimate and unparalleled textbook for engineering students and others who look for a broad understanding of energy systems, their development, and the methods and tools for their analysis."Lars J.
