Handbook of Clean Energy Systems

The Handbook of Clean Energy Systems brings together an international team of experts to present a comprehensive overview of the latest research, developments and practical applications throughout all areas of clean energy systems. Consolidating information which is currently scattered across a wide variety of literature sources, the handbook covers a broad range of topics in this interdisciplinary research field including both fossil and renewable energy systems. The development of intelligent energy systems for efficient energy processes and mitigation technologies for the reduction of environmental pollutants is explored in depth, and environmental, social and economic impacts are also addressed.

Topics covered include:

Volume 1 - Renewable Energy: Biomass resources and biofuel production; Bioenergy Utilization; Solar Energy; Wind Energy; Geothermal Energy; Tidal Energy.

Volume 2 - Clean Energy Conversion Technologies: Steam/Vapor Power Generation; Gas Turbines Power Generation; Reciprocating Engines; Fuel Cells; Cogeneration and Polygeneration.

Volume 3 - Mitigation Technologies: Carbon Capture; Negative Emissions System; Carbon Transportation; Carbon Storage; Emission Mitigation Technologies; Efficiency Improvements and Waste Management; Waste to Energy.

Volume 4 - Intelligent Energy Systems: Future Electricity Markets; Diagnostic and Control of Energy Systems; New Electric Transmission Systems; Smart Grid and Modern Electrical Systems; Energy Efficiency of Municipal Energy Systems; Energy Efficiency of Industrial Energy Systems; Consumer Behaviors; Load Control and Management; Electric Car and Hybrid Car; Energy Efficiency Improvement.

Volume 5 - Energy Storage: Thermal Energy Storage; Chemical Storage; Mechanical Storage; Electrochemical Storage; Integrated Storage Systems.

Volume 6 - Sustainability of Energy Systems: Sustainability Indicators, Evaluation Criteria, and Reporting; Regulation and Policy; Finance and Investment; Emission Trading; Modeling and Analysis of Energy Systems; Energy vs. Development; Low Carbon Economy; Energy Efficiencies and Emission Reduction.

Professor Jinyue Yan- Director of Future Energy Profile, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Malardalen University (MDU), Sweden
Jinyue Yan is Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Malardalen University (MDU) in Sweden. An expert in energy engineering, his research focuses on the efficient distribution and consumption of energy, advanced power plants, CO₂ capture and storage, biomass and bioenergy, carbon trading and associated policy issues.
Since 2007, Professor Yan has been the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal, Applied Energy (Elsevier). In its 35 year history, Applied Energy has earned a place among leading journals as the preferred vehicle for the sharing and transfer of technical knowledge and innovation in energy research and applications. This successful journal had a 2013 impact factor of 5.261 (7/82 in the ISI Web of Knowledge 'Energy and Fuels' category).
Professor Yan has been actively involved in organizing the annual International Conference on Applied Energy since the first meeting in Hong Kong, 2009. The aim of this conference series is to bring together international experts in applied energy technology, from academia and industry, and across a range of disciplines including engineering, chemistry, physics and materials science. There is a strong focus on the Asia-Pacific region and the conference regularly attracts >300 delegates.
