Clean Energy in South-East Asia

South-East Asian countries have seen an increase in energy demand due to growing industrial and manufacturing activity and strong economic growth. Researchers, energy engineering professionals and policymakers in the region are recognising that clean energy should form part of this economic expansion in order to avoid increasing carbon emissions. The region moreover has strong potential for continuing clean energy development.

Edited by experts with interdisciplinary backgrounds in industry and academia, this book offers a systematic treatment of deploying clean energy in Vietnam and SE Asia. The book is intended for an audience of researchers involved with energy systems, PV and wind power, as well as for investors and policymakers, and manufacturers of PV and wind power equipment.

Chapters cover wind and solar energy development, smart clean energy systems and smart grids, microgrid systems, IoT technology in sustainable energy development, then impacts of policies and mechanisms, investment procedures in Vietnam, circular economy with PV panel waste, as well as social impacts and trends in clean energy development in developing countries.
