This book provides a solid, quantitative and uptodated coverage for a wide range of sustainable low carbon electricity generation technologies. Three types of technologies are presented, renewable energy, advanced technologies, and clean coal, tackling the problems of pollution, energy shortage and climate change. Eleven chapters are constructed, with Chapter 1, 5, 7 and 11 contributed by Dr Changdong Sheng, with Chapter 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10 contributed by Dr Jiufa Chen. Chapter 1 introduces electricity generation related energy and environment issues. Although renewable energy is crucial and promising, clean coal technologies still have indispensable importance to achieve sustainable energy supply in the coming decades. Since solar energy is the dominant renewable, Chapter 2 presents solar energy fundamentals: its formation, trajectory, atmospheric attenuation and solar energy distribution. Chapter 3 introduces solar PV technology, wafer or thin film based, from materials (silicon, metal compounds or organic materials) to PV cell, module and power plants. Chapter 4 dedicates to concentrating solar thermal power technologies, with solar heat receivers made of parabolic troughs, Fresnel reflectors, tower collectors, or dish collectors; using various types of heat transfer fluids and heat storage systems; elaborated hybridization and operation strategies. Chapter 5 is about hydropower, with three topologies of hydropower plants introduced, impoundment, runoffriver, and pumped storage, with different turbine technologies. Chapter 6 deals with wind energy, wind distribution, wind energy capture system, turbine control strategies, onshore and offshore wind farms. Chapter 7 is about biomass, from various biomass resources to their utilization technologies, including energy recovery from municipal wastes. Chapter 8 tells about geothermal energy, its formation, distribution, resource survey, elaborated with three types of geothermal power plant technologies based on dry steam, flash steam and binary cycle. Chapter 9 presents advanced fuel cell electricity generation technologies, from five type fuel cell configurations to fuel cell stack and power generation system. Chapter 10 presents clean and high efficiency coal electricity generation technologies, from reducing pollution and emission to improving efficiency, from retrofiting existing coal plants, to constructing advance systems, such as supercritical and ultrasupercritical conditions, pressurized fluidized bed combustion, and integrated gasification combined cycle. Chapter 11 focuses on technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emission from fossil fuel power plants, CO2 capture, storage and utilization. For each topic, the theoretical background is introduced, practical engineering considerations associated with designing systems and predicting their performance are provided, and methods to evaluate the economics of these systems are presented. The book is intended for a mixed audience of engineering and other technologyfocused individuals, undergraduate, postgraduate students. The book has been designed to encourage selfteaching by providing completely worked case studies, typical parameter values and design guidance. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises that provide added practice for the student, which should also facilitate the preparation of homework assignments by the instructor.The authors wish to express their thanks to School of Energy and Environment of Southeast University for the publication funds. Appreciations are given to Nari Group Corporation and to Trina Solar China for sharing the PV technology data. The authors also wish to thank Miss Nan Wang and Mr Kunming Zhuang for their assistance in editing Chapter 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10.
