Agile Energy Systems: Global Distributed On-Site and Central Grid Power

Agile Energy Systems: On-Site Power and Central Grid, Second Edition, offers new solutions to the structure of electricity provision made possible by new energy technologies. The book begins by showing how five precipitating forces led to the deregulation debacle in California, including major technological changes and commercialization, regulatory needs mismatched to societal adjustments, inadequate and flawed economic models, a lack of vision, goals, and planning that lead to energy failures, and questionable finance and lack of economic development. The second half of the book examines the civic market paradigm for new economic models and how to plan for complexity using California as an example of how the problem of centralized power systems can be seen in the worst drought that California has ever seen. Offers new approaches to energy systems, providing the tools and plans to achieve these objectivesPresents specific and actionable public policy and program toolsIllustrates how lessons learned from California can be used to create an agile energy system for any country INDICE: Overview Woodrow W.
