Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Vaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Manitoba. He is the author of forty books, including Energy and Civilization, published by the MIT Press. In 2010 he was named by Foreign Policy as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers. In 2013 Bill Gates wrote on his website that “there is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil."

Power Density: A Key to Understanding Energy Sources and Uses

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, and all common energy uses. "There's no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil." -Bill Gates In this book, Vaclav Smil argues that power density is a key determinant of the nature and dynamics of energy systems. Any understanding of complex energy systems must rely on quantitative measures of many fundamental variables. Power density-the rate of energy flux per unit of area-is an important but largely overlooked measure. Smil provides the first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of the power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, thermal electricity generation, and all common energy uses. Smil shows that careful quantification, critical appraisals, and revealing comparisons of power densities make possible a deeper understanding of the ways we harness, convert, and use energies. Conscientious assessment of power densities, he argues, proves particularly revealing when contrasting the fossil fuel-based energy system with renewable energy conversions. Smil explains that modern civilization has evolved as a direct expression of the high power densities of fossil fuel extraction. He argues that our inevitable (and desirable) move to new energy arrangements involving conversions of lower-density renewable energy sources will require our society-currently dominated by megacities and concentrated industrial production-to undergo a profound spatial restructuring of its energy system.

Power Density: A Key to Understanding Energy Sources and Uses (Mit Press)
Anbieter: Michael Patrick McCarty, Bookseller, New Castle, CO, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. In Very Good+ condition. Vaclav Smil argues that power density (the rate of energy flux per unit of area, W/m²) is the most critical and overlooked metric for evaluating energy systems. The book provides a systematic quantitative comparison across all major energy resources. Because modern societies demand high-density energy at the point of use (megacities, industrial production), transitioning to lower-density renewable sources will necessitate a profound spatial restructuring of human habitats and energy infrastructures.
