Ecological effects of electricity generation, storage and use / Peter A Henderson, BSc PhD.

• Our need for electricity and the main energy sources available -- Hydroelectric generation -- Tidal generation -- Wave power and ocean thermal energy conversion -- Steam turbines and their cooling systems -- Nuclear generation -- Coal and oil-fired power plants -- Gas-fired power plants -- Wind turbines and the effects of offshore piling -- Solar power -- Fuel cells and flow batteries -- Batteries -- Biofuels and waste-powered generation -- Small-scale and mobile electric generators -- Ecological issues relating to transmission lines -- Geothermal generation -- Minimizing environmental damage while generating electricity cost-effectively.

• This book contains 17 chapters covering the following topics: (1) the need for electricity and the main energy sources available; (2) hydroelectric generation; (3) tidal generation; (4) wave power and ocean thermal energy conversion; (5) steam turbines and their cooling systems; (6) nuclear generation; (7) coal and oil-fired power plants; (8) gas-fired power plants; (9) wind turbines and the effects of offshore piling; (10) solar power; (11) fuel cells and flow batteries; (12) batteries; (13) biofuels and waste-powered generation; (14) small-scale and mobile electric generators; (15) ecological issues relating to transmission lines; (16) geothermal generation; and (17) minimizing environmental damage while generating electricity cost-effectively.
