Solar energy will undoubtedly become a main source of energy in our life by the end of this century, but how big of a role will photovoltaics play in this new energy infrastructure? Besides cost and efficiency, there are other barriers for current solar cell technologies to become a noticeable source of energy in the future. Availability of raw materials, energy input, storage of solar electricity, and recycling of dead modules can all prevent or hinder a tangible impact by solar photovoltaics. This book is intended for readers with minimal technical background and aims to explore not only the fundamentals but also major issues in large-scale deployment of solar photovoltaics. Thought-provoking ideas to overcoming some of the barriers are discussed.

is a unique volume that finds that the most sensitive parameters affecting metal wastage are superficial fluidizing velocity, particle diameter, and particle sphericity. Gross consistencies between disparate data sources using different techniques were found when the erosion rates are compared on the same basis using the concept of renormalization. The simplified mechanistic models and correlations, when validated, can be used to renormalize any experimental data so they can be compared on a consistent basis using a master equation.

This book presents a comprehensive survey of fault current limiters (FCLs) and their applications in power system to cope with the fault current. The book reviews characteristics, technologies, topologies, working principles, applications, and the interaction of FCLs with the power system. In the attempts to develop FCL with close to ideal attributes, academic researchers and companies offer the different configurations that are mostly classified into non-superconducting fault current limiters and superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs). Both categories are included in this book, and therefore, it can serve as an excellent stepping-stone for senior and/or graduate students who are interested in knowing the reason of the increase in short circuit level in the power system, fault current limitation measures, benefits and drawbacks of the application of FCLs in power systems, the state-of-the-art of fault current limitation techniques, as well as recent advances in this area.

This book focuses on sustainable solid waste management in an urban context and gives an example of how a modern city can work with waste management for increased sustainability in close cooperation with the academy. The book describes challenges which the city is facing and presents a case on how these can be tackled based on several research and development projects performed in the City of Malmö over the last decade. In these projects, the city has worked as a test bed for new solutions, developed with and evaluated by the university. The projects and evaluations of the same have been developed with a multi-dimensional approach; including technical aspects, resource efficiency, economic parameters, information strategies towards households and user friendliness. Methods used for evaluation are presented in a comprehensive way together with a discussion on how results from performed evaluations have affected the solid waste management policy making in the city. The book describes a bridging over a commonly noticed gap between research on the one hand and policy making and technical management on the other. Several examples are given on how academy and real life and full-scale developments in the city can have a fruit-full collaboration, where feed-back from evaluation of made changes are used for continuous improvements – at the same time as the actual needs from the city forces the academy to develop new methods for evaluations and develop new solutions to previously un-known or un-addressed problems.

This book reports on current shipping and shipbuilding industries' efforts for decarbonization. It demonstrates what regulations have been made for large ships on international voyages and points to what is to change in the future. The book also quantitatively reviews the current challenges of alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, and e-fuels, considering economics, safety, and greenhouse gas emissions assessments.
