Abstract

Solar electricity is an economically viable, environmentally sustainable alternative to the world's energy supplies. In support, Dr. Krauter thoroughly examines the various technical parameters of photovoltaic systems. Study of performance and yield (including optical, thermal, and electrical parameters and interfaces) are analyzed. The net energy balance of photovoltaic systems - from production, operation and maintenance, to recycling - is explored. Professor Krauter demonstrates how the importance of accurate yield calculations, optimal system performance, and new prototypes aid in cost reductions. The potential of solar electric power generation as a means to significantly reduce CO2 emissions is also detailed. In addition, various locations for the production and installation of photovoltaic power plants are considered - with surprising results. Examples, tables and figures are included.

Abstract

This comprehensive description and discussion of photovoltaics (PV) is presented at a level that makes it accessible to the interested academic. Starting with an historical overview, the text outlines the relevance of photovoltaics today and in the future. Then follows an introduction to the physical background of solar cells and the most important materials and technologies, with particular emphasis placed on future developments and prospects. The book goes beyond technology by also describing the path from the cell to the module to the system, proceeding to important applications, such as grid-connected and stand-alone systems. The composition and development of the markets and the role of PV in future energy systems are also considered. Finally, the discussion turns to the future structure of energy supplies, expected to comprise more distributed generation, and addresses synergies and competition from other carbon-free energy sources.

Abstract

"Dit is de catalogus van een omvangrijke tentoonstelling van moderne kunst in de Kölnermessehallen in Keulen (30.5- 16.8.1981) die werd samengesteld door Laszlo Glozer en Kasper König. De opzettelijk provocerende titel Westkunst is een woordspeling op 'Weltkunst'. Men wilde ermee verwijzen naar de hegemonische westerse ideologie en naar de bestaande politieke en ideologische opdeling van Europa in West en Oost. De curatoren vetrokken van het jaar 1939 – het begin van WOII en van een massale migratie van vooraanstaande Europese kunstenaars naar New York – en kozen 800 werken van 200 kunstenaars. Methodologisch gezien werd een beroep gedaan op de formalistische traditie in de kunstgeschiedenis, waardoor elke historische ideologische contextualisering werd vermeden. De expositie was georganiseerd volgens een formeel/iconografisch principe en het idee van artistieke innovatie. Het 'Today'-gedeelte van de tentoonstelling, dat bedoeld was als representatie van het werk van opkomende kunstenaars, werd door critici omschreven als een 'vakbeurs' of 'dealerselectie'. Westkunst wordt beschouwd als een duidelijk voorbeeld van de onwil van de trans-Atlantische kunstwereld om kunstenaars van niet-westerse afkomst te aanvaarden." - M HKA Ensembles

Abstract

As the world races to address the climate crisis, new sustainable energy sources and other infrastructures are transforming our visual landscapes and changing the way we live. Land Art and Climate Action: Designing the 21st Century City Park highlights regenerative artworks that respond to this pivotal moment in human history and inspire viewers to embrace the beauty, abundance, and cultural vibrancy of a world that has left fossil fuels behind. Featuring three hundred color images, the book includes essays by Robert Ferry, Peter Kurz, Elizabeth Monoian, Alessandra Scognamiglio, and Sven Stremke to bring attention to design projects and landscape architecture where environmentalism is part of the concept, not an afterthought.
