Sven Ruin – författare

I Amerika har det varit ett begrepp att svenskar som emigrerade dit ansågs som dumma, i den bemärkelsen att de var lättlurade. Är detta sant i dagens Sverige? Håller vi på att luras in på farliga vägar?

Häpnadsväckande och obehagliga uppgifter visar att så är fallet och för första gången träder en helhetsbild fram. De godtrogna svenskarna har blivit grundlurade, bland annat på freden.

Denna bok visar att vi i Sverige är med och skapar krig, att dessa krig är en huvudorsak till flyktingkrisen och att dessa flyktingar lätt drabbas av människo­handel. Boken tar även upp vårt felinriktade ”försvar” och att mycket av detta sker på grund av att vår demokrati inte fungerar som vi tror.

Ett exempel är Sveriges roll i så kallade ”utomrättsliga avrättningar”. Flera sådana uppgifter har redan publicerats offentligt men ingen verkar då ha tagit någon större notis om, eller lagt ihop de olika uppgifterna, vilket nu görs i denna bok.

Kärnvapenfrågan belyses också från ett nytt perspektiv. Vi har länge fått höra att vårt samarbete med kärnvapenmakter gör oss säkrare, men är det verkligen så?

Vi göds med lögner, något vi måste ändra på. Sven Ruin lyfter fram behovet av en ärlighetskultur och berättar även om hur lögner inom näringslivet kan förstöra verksamheter.

Håkan Juholt rätt när han uttryckte sin oro över att Sverige kan vara på väg att förlora demokratin? Mycket tyder på att så är fallet!

A revolution is ongoing in the field of small-scale energy solutions, which can enable lower impact on the environment, more robust supply and self-determination. Solar power and other forms of renewable energy sources, which you can implement to generate your own electricity, are growing quickly. Electromobility is transforming the car industry and transportation systems and can also play a role in your energy system. Electricity can be used much more efficiently than before, for example by using LED light, variable speed motor drives and efficient home appliances. Smart controls are available, sometimes with free open source software. All this opens up tremendous opportunities for energy independence, which is the focus of this book.

The book introduces the reader to a number of renewable energy sources, to different options for storing electricity and to smart use of electricity, particularly in the context of small isolated systems. This is important because many renewable energy sources are weather- and season-dependent and usually require storage and smart control, in order to obtain a system that is completely independent of the electricity grid.

In the book, overall system design is explained, including how to combine different sources in a hybrid system. Different system sizes and architectures are also covered. A number of real cases are described, where homes, businesses and communities have achieved a high level of energy independence or are on their way to achieving it.

This book will prove useful in university education in renewable energy at bachelor and master level, and also for companies and private individuals, who want to start or expand activities in the area of renewable energy.

Small-Scale Renewable Energy Systems: Independent Electricity for Community, Business, and Home explores the ongoing revolution in small-scale energy solutions that enable environmental sustainability, supply resilience, and energy independence. It introduces readers to diverse renewable energy sources, energy storage technologies, and smart consumption strategies – with particular focus on designing systems that operate independently from the conventional power grid. Readers will discover how to effectively combine multiple energy sources into hybrid systems, optimize system architecture for different scales of implementation, and apply smart controls – including open-source solutions – to maximize efficiency. This book serves as an essential resource for students in renewable energy programs at both bachelor''s and master''s levels, as well as for companies and individuals looking to develop or expand sustainable energy initiatives in an increasingly electrified world.
