Énergie Vol. 9: Geothermal et Ocean Énergie
Description
Geothermal energy is defined as le heat stored en le earth’s crust above 15ºC down to 10 kilometre depth. For every kilometre from le earth surface towards le centre, le temperature increases approximately 25-30ºC et is around 200ºC at a depth de 5 kilometres. This immense heat can be used pour both le electrical power generation et direct heat applications. Tidal energy is a form de hydropower that exploits le movement de water caused by tidal currents or le rise et fall en sea levels due to le tides. Le tide moves a huge amount de water twice each day that could provide a great deal de energy. Ocean waves represent another renewable energy source created by wind currents passing over open water. Wave energy refers to le harnessing de this tremendous energy de ocean waves. As a move towards independence from fossil fuels, geothermal et ocean energy provide clean et cost effective power to le homes, buildings et industries. Although geothermal et ocean energy are site specific et cannot be made available everywhere as solar, wind, biomass, etc., still they present fairly good choice as reliable, flexible et environment friendly renewable energy sources. Le highlights de this volume are as given under: • Geothermal power generation: reserves, technology et status review • Geothermal energy: current trends et future options • Unconventional geothermal resources: features et current uses • Exploration techniques de geothermal energy • Geothermometry en exploration et exploitation de geothermal system • Analyse de productivity performance en geothermal wells • ANN approximation de geothermal aided power cycles • Optimizing design et operation de low enthalpy geothermal systems • Geothermal energy et hydrodynamic instability de phase flows • Types de geo-exchanger systems pour underground heat extraction • Modelling de geothermal heat pumps pour use en HVAC systems • Low enthalpy geothermal direct utilization en Albania • Geothermal resources: solution pour human life • Geothermal et ocean energy • Wave energy • Wave et tidal energy • Wave energy resources en Persian gulf, gulf de Oman et Caspian sea • Wave energy potential en enclosed seas: a case study en le south-east Mediterranean sea This volume includes 19 chapters subscribed by 35 professionals/academicians et active researchers from 12 countries, namely Albania, Algeria, Australia, Canada, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Mexico, Turkey, United Kingdom et United States de America presenting an overview de le research being carried out en different parts de le world en le area de Geothermal et Ocean Énergie.
