About the Book
Hybrid Power Cycle Arrangements for Lower Emissions is an edited book that explores the state-of-the-art for creating effective hybrid power cycles for power generation with lower emission while utilizing different energy sources. The book details energetic and exergetic studies for improving system design and performance of hybrid power cycle arrangements. Chapters in the book provide a systematic approach to the integration and operation of different thermal power cycles with renewable energy sources.
The book brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present their recent and ongoing research and development activities concerning the advancement of hybridization of different conventional and unconventional energy sources to produce efficient and clean energy systems. The book chapters present a range of ongoing research and development activities, challenges, constraints, and opportunities in both theoretical as well as application aspects of several hybrid technologies for power generation. Several issues such as hybridization of different energy sources, availability, environmental impacts, and power cycle integration are addressed in-depth, making this collection a worthy repository for those working in the field of the power cycles.
