Beschreibung

Microgrid Energy Basics offers a comprehensive introduction to microgrids, decentralized power systems that are reshaping how we think about energy. It addresses the growing need for energy independence and sustainability by demystifying the design, implementation, and operation of these small-scale power systems. The book uniquely balances technological insights with economic and environmental considerations, presenting a holistic view of microgrids as a viable alternative to traditional centralized grids. Microgrids integrate renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, offering enhanced reliability and reduced carbon footprints. Did you know microgrids can improve grid resilience by operating independently during outages, ensuring continuous power supply to critical facilities?

The book progresses logically, beginning with foundational electrical engineering principles and gradually delving into economic and environmental impacts. It explores the costs and benefits of microgrid deployment, including energy savings and grid service revenues, and analyzes their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Practical applications, from remote communities to university campuses, are examined to illustrate the versatility of microgrids. One interesting fact is how microgrids can enable energy independence for remote areas, reducing their reliance on expensive and often unreliable centralized power.

What sets Microgrid Energy Basics apart is its accessible approach, bridging the gap between technical jargon and real-world applications. It presents information in a clear and concise style, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience. The book emphasizes the importance of distributed generation and increased grid flexibility, empowering readers to evaluate the potential of microgrids in their own communities and organizations.

The Environmental Unconscious -...

Steven Swarbrick

Why has psychoanalysis long been kept at the margins of environmental criticism despite the theories of eco-Marxism, queer ecology, and eco-deconstruction available today? What is unique, possibly even traumatic, about eco-psychoanalysis? The Environmental Unconscious addresses these questions as it provides an innovative and theoretical account of environmental loss focused on the counterintuitive forms of enjoyment that early modern poetry and psychoanalysis jointly theorize. 
 
 
 
Steven Swarbrick urges literary critics and environmental scholars to rethink notions of entanglement, animacy, and consciousness raising. Through close readings of Edmund Spenser, Walter Ralegh, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton, he reveals a world of matter that is not merely hyperconnected, as in the new materialism, but porous and off-kilter. And yet the loss these poets reveal is central to the enjoyment their works offer—and that nature offers. 
 
 
 
The Environmental Unconscious offers a provocative challenge to ecocriticism that a new theory of disconnection is desperately needed. Tracing the propulsive force of the environmental unconscious from the early modern period to Freudian and post-Freudian theories of desire, Swarbrick not only puts nature on the couch in this book but also renews the psychoanalytic toolkit in light of environmental collapse.
