электроэнергетика (страница 2)

Автор: Лекс Кравецкий

Самый важный вопрос в любой области научного знания: откуда известно, что всё действительно так, а не иначе? Хотя этот вопрос часто обходят стороной, предпочитая выдавать широкой общественности лишь конечные результаты научных изысканий, без ответа на него научное знание перестаёт быть научным знанием, а становится по сути религией. Сколько всего было «антропологических» находок к данному моменту? Как по ним отследили эволюцию человека? Поменяют ли будущие находки представления о нашем происхождении? Каков статус новейших находок? Легко ли обмануть антрополога, подсунув ему фальшивку?

Эта книга о взлете рынков солнечной энергетики, точнее – об идеях и технологиях, положенных в основу ее развития. Начиная изложение с фундаментальных основ нашего мира, автор разворачивает величественную панораму эволюции звезд, раскрывая роль Солнца в эволюции всего живого на Земле. Эволюции природы вторит картина эволюции научного знания как усилий множества людей, искавших путь к чистому развитию. Осуществление мечты породило технологический взрыв новой энергетики. Книга рассказывает о том, что с начала этого века было установлено более триллиона ватт источников солнечной и ветровой энергии, для чего были мобилизованы триллионы долларов и созданы более 10 млн рабочих мест. «Пришествие» Интернета, которого ждет не менее трех миллиардов людей, невозможно без электроэнергии, которую можно получить от возобновляемых источников, избегая «ресурсных» ловушек. Новые технологии делают возобновляемые ресурсы информации и энергии доступными для всех.

Автор В. Гришин – потомственный энергетик, более 40 лет проработал в жизненно важной отрасли экономики – электроэнергетике. А его династия отдала ей 460 лет труда, и знает её досконально. И потому он уверен, что мир последние 200 лет живёт во власти электроэнергии, то есть, в Электрическом веке. Автором доказано, что нашим врагам не только удалось довести отрасль до катастрофического состояния (примером которой стала трагедия на Саяно-Шушенской ГЭС), но, сбив прицелы энергетики и экономики на работу с низкими тарифами на электроэнергию и тепло, лишить нашу холодную страну возможности производить конкурентную продукцию для мирового рынка. По-новому показаны и взаимоотношения России с США, которые с начала ХХ века приобрели форму перманентной войны, поражение в которой и стало главной причиной разгрома СССР. Вместе с тем В.И. Гришин предлагает читателям ознакомиться с… открытием великого Закона о бессмертии материальной души человека, познание чего позволит совершенно по-новому посмотреть на развитие нашей цивилизации. Автором предложены также основные тезисы теории перехода к новой формации постэлитарного общества равноправия.

Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically, and unfortunately, even these models are company proprietary. On the other hand, “exact models” are only available through detailed finite element or finite difference analysis, and more often than not, simply describe case studies for special applications. In either case, the models are not available for general use and the value of the publications is questionable. This new approach provides a rigorous, fully three-dimensional solution to the general problem, developed over almost two decades by a researcher familiar with practical applications and mathematical modeling. Completely validated against exact solutions and physics-based checks through over a hundred documented examples, the self-contained model (with special built-in matrix solvers and iteration algorithms) with a “plain English graphical user interface” has been optimized to run extremely fast – seconds per run as opposed to minutes and hours – and then automatically presents all electric and magnetic field results through integrated three-dimensional color graphics. In addition to state-of-the-art algorithms, basic “utility programs” are also developed, such as simple dipole methods, Biot-Savart large diameter models, nonlinear phase and amplitude interpolation algorithms, and so on. Incredibly useful to oilfield practitioners, this volume is a must-have for serious professionals in the field, and all the algorithms have undergone a laborious validation process with real use in the field.

Energy production and storage are central problems for our time. In principle, abundant energy is available from the sun to run the earth in a sustainable way. Solar energy can be directly harnessed by agricultural and photovoltaic means, but the sheer scale of the energy demand poses severe challenges, for example any major competition between biomass production and food production would simply transfer scarcity from energy to food. Indirect use of solar energy in the form of wind looks also promising, especially for those regions not blessed with abundant sunlight. Other modes such as tidal and wave energy may well become important niche players. Inorganic chemistry plays a decisive role in the development of new energy technologies and this Volume covers some promising modes of alternative energy production and storage that minimize the atmospheric burden of fossil-derived carbon monoxide. No one production or storage mode is likely to dominate, at least at first, and numerous possibilities need to be explored to compare their technical feasibility and economics. This provides the context for a broad exploration of novel ideas that we are likely to see in future years as the field expands. This Volume covers a wide range of topics, such as: – Water splitting, only water is a sufficiently cheap and abundant electron source for global exploitation; – Energy conversion by photosynthesis; – Molecular catalysts for water splitting; – Thermochemical water splitting; – Photocatalytic hydrogen production; – Artificial photosynthesis, progress of the Swedish Consortium; – Hydrogen economy; – Reduction of carbon dioxide to useful fuels; – Conversion of methane to methanol; – Dye sensitized solar cells; – Photoinitiated electron transfer in fuel cells; – Proton exchange membranes for fuel cells; – Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells; – Direct Ethanol fuel cells; – Molecular catalysis for fuel cells; – Enzymes and microbes in fuel cells; – Li-Ion batteries; – Magic Angle Spinning NMR studies of battery materials; Supercapacitors and electrode materials. About EIC Books The Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry (EIC) has proved to be one of the defining standards in inorganic chemistry, and most chemistry libraries around the world have access either to the first or second print edition, or to the online version. Many readers, however, prefer to have more concise thematic volumes, targeted to their specific area of interest. This feedback from EIC readers has encouraged the Editors to plan a series of EIC Books, focusing on topics of current interest. They will appear on a regular basis, and will feature leading scholars in their fields. Like the Encyclopedia, EIC Books aim to provide both the starting research student and the confirmed research worker with a critical distillation of the leading concepts in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and provide a structured entry into the fields covered. This volume is also available as part of Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 5 Volume Set. This set combines all volumes published as EIC Books from 2007 to 2010, representing areas of key developments in the field of inorganic chemistry published in the Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry.

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, entrepreneurship is growing and actively promoted by policy makers. Several reports explore the influence of entrepreneurship on the economy and put some emphasis on its positive influence GDP per capita, unemployment and exports. However, entrepreneurship does not go per se and it is now broadly admitted that the decision of the entrepreneur is narrowly connected with its environment, the so-called entrepreneurial ecosystem. This book show why policymakers, entrepreneurship supporters, and entrepreneurs themselves should keep in mind the locally structured nature of entrepreneurial networks. Even if the notion of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem has become quite popular, among the international organization, development agencies and public administrations, this concept is often considered as a new one having its origins in very recent publications. This books aims at showing that entrepreneurial ecosystems have their roots in the history of economic thought and that scholars have long been conscious of their importance. Instead of insisting upon the diversity of agents involved in these organizations, it also put some emphasis on the importance of the linkages and sharing between them and suggests some orientations in view of a performing evaluation system.

This book gives you an in-depth understanding of the WISC-V assessment and interpretive process to assist practitioners in: Conducting efficient and informative WISC-V assessments Utilizing WISC-V in cross-battery and neuropsychological assessment Applying WISC-V in the identification of specific learning disabilities Utilizing WISC-V in nondiscriminatory assessment of English language learners Writing theory-based WISC-V reports Linking WISC-V findings to interventions based on individual performance As the world's most widely-used intelligence test for children, the WISC-V is useful in diagnosing intellectual disabilities and specific learning disabilities, as well as in identifying giftedness. In this volume, sample reports demonstrate how WISC-V assessment results may be linked to interventions, accommodations, modifications, and compensatory strategies that facilitate positive outcomes for children. Essentials of WISC-V Assessment is the all-in-one practical resource for both students and practitioners. The book can be used on its own or with companion software (purchased separately) that provides a user-friendly tool for producing psychometrically and theoretically defensible interpretations of WISC-V performance, and may be used to develop interventions based on each child's strengths and weaknesses.

Lagoons and estuaries are transition spaces between earth and sea. Beyond their expanse, geographic repartition, geomorphological, hydroclimatic and ecobiological diversity and biodiversity, they play an important role in regional economies and are some of the ecosystems most vulnerable to global change. Reinforced by numerous references, this book studies Mediterranean lagoonal and estuarine fishes whose diversity largely depends on the composition of neighboring marine and continental ichtyofauna. The authors describe their morphological, biological, ecological and behavioral characteristics by evoking their distinctive features and differences with their marine or freshwater homologues. Their adaptation strategies, elucidated thanks to recent advances in morphology, genetics and molecular biology, are recognized as a major advantage in the context of climate change. This book is for natural environment managers, engineers, teachers, students and researchers.

Since the first edition of Fracking was published, hydraulic fracturing has continued to be hotly debated. Credited with bringing the US and other countries closer to “energy independence,” and blamed for tainted drinking water and earthquakes, hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) continues to be one of the hottest topics and fiercely debated issues in the energy industry and in politics. Covering all of the latest advances in fracking since the first edition was published, this expanded and updated revision still contains all of the valuable original content for the engineer or layperson to understand the technology and its ramifications. Useful not only as a tool for the practicing engineer solve day-to-day problems that come with working in hydraulic fracturing, it is also a wealth of information covering the possible downsides of what many consider to be a very valuable practice. Many others consider it dangerous, and it is important to see both sides of the argument, from an apolitical, logical standpoint. While induced hydraulic fracturing utilizes many different engineering disciplines, this book explains these concepts in an easy to understand format. The primary use of this book shall be to increase the awareness of a new and emerging technology and what the various ramifications can be. The reader shall be exposed to many engineering concepts and terms. All of these ideas and practices shall be explained within the body. A science or engineering background is not required.
