商品簡介
Addresses some inconvenient realities: the energy flow from most primary sources is not constant, but varies with the season, time of day, and weather conditions; energy demand also varies, often in inverse proportion to the very same factors; electricity is the tidiest form of energy to transmit and use, but is utterly horrible at hanging around until it is needed. A researcher at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute explains the many systems for turning electricity into other forms of energy that are more easily stored, then back into electricity when needed. Of interest to student and professional electrical and power engineers. Distributed by INSPEC. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
