520 1 _a"Paul Breeze provides a concise and readable description of the spectrum of different power generation technologies available today, from traditional fossil fuels and the better established renewables such as wind and solar power, to emerging renewables such as biomass, wave and tidal stream energy. Technology solutions such as combined heat and power, and distributed generation are also explored." "Those involved in planning and delivering energy - including engineers, managers and policy makers - will find in this book a valuable guide through the minefield of maintaining a reliable power supply, meeting targets on greenhouse gas emissions, and addressing economic and social objectives."--BOOK JACKET.
