| Abstract
|
:
|
Tagare, who started and runs the first capacity manufacturing company in India, contends that the search for new sources of electricity is changing both the shape and the behavior of the electricity industry after a long period of stagnation under monopolistic control. He describes the changes and how the existing producers are trying to adapt to them, beginning with a history of the electricity business. Characterizing hydroelectric power as the strongest ally in the transition away from fossil fuel, he devotes the next few chapters to it. Other chapters look at conventional thermal power generation using fossil fuels and nuclear power, nuclear power, wind power photovoltaic energy, fuel cells and direct conversion into electricity, hybrid systems, cogeneration, distributed generation and resources, interconnected distributed resources, energy storage with super capacitors, the hydrogen era, the basic structure of power marketing, and the future.
