A unique electrical engineering approach to alternative sources of energy Unlike other books that deal with alternative sources of energy from a mechanical point of view, Integration of Alternative Sources of Energy takes an electrical engineering perspective. Moreover, the authors examine the full spectrum of alternative and renewable energy with the goal of developing viable methods of integrating energy sources and storage efficiently. Readers become thoroughly conversant with the principles, possibilities, and limits of alternative and renewable energy. The book begins with a general introduction and then reviews principles of thermodynamics. Next, the authors explore both common and up-and-coming alternative energy sources, including hydro, wind, solar, photovoltaic, thermosolar, fuel cells, and biomass. Following that are discussions of microturbines and induction generators, as well as a special chapter dedicated to energy storage systems. After setting forth the fundamentals, the authors focus on how to integrate the various energy sources for electrical power production. Discussions related to system operation, maintenance, and management, as well as standards for interconnection, are also set forth. Throughout the book, diagrams are provided to demonstrate the electrical operation of all the systems that are presented. In addition, extensive use of examples helps readers better grasp how integration of alternative energy sources can be accomplished. The final chapter gives readers the opportunity to learn about the HOMER Micropower Optimization Model. This computer model, developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), assists in the design of micropower systems and facilitates comparisons of power generation techniques. Readers can download the software from the NREL Web site. This book is a must-read for engineers, consultants, regulators, and environmentalists involved in energy production and delivery, helping them evaluate alternative energy sources and integrate them into an efficient energy delivery system. It is also a superior textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students.

The objective of this book is to show in detail how electromagnetic waves existing in the environment can affect the electrochemical currents present in the brains and bodies of living beings that serve to communicate with their internal organs as well as with other living beings. These electromagnetic waves are distributed intensively by current means of communication (television, cell phones, radar, medical equipment, electrical machines, electrical networks, etc.) and by the stars in the Universe. Such waves can affect in one way or another the electrochemical currents of living beings, which seem to be currently interpreted as sensations, hypnosis, telepathy, intuition, spells, mediumship, visions and precognition, as well as other less widespread forms, such as telekinesis, radiesthesia, clairvoyance, precognition and teleportation. Several world-famous examples of these possibilities are illustrated in the final chapter of this book.Key Features:14 examples of diverse international case studies includedChallenges conventional ways of thinking by exploring the intersection of electromagnetic waves and extrasensory perceptionEquips readers with insights into the various effects of electromagnetic waves in daily life, which promotes awareness of their environment and its different influences and how they impact peopleProvides an engineering framework for understanding extrasensory beliefs and aims to explain the concept of historical brain believing in a better manner
