Dimitris Al. Katsaprakakis

Publisher: CRC

Description:

The book covers conventional thermal power plants for electricity production, hybrid power plants for electricity production with alternative energy storage technologies (pumped storage, compressed-air energy storage, and electrochemical batteries), combined heat and power cogeneration systems including the concept of trigeneration, and hybrid power plants for thermal power production. It delivers a short reference on the new, emerging technologies for decentralized energy production, storage, and management, integrated in the frame of smart grids.
