Short Circuit
Author: R. J. Douthwaite
Publisher: Dufour Editions
ISBN: 9781874675600
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
With the deregulation of international trade and a free movement of capital, the world economy is more unstable than ever. This work is written from a perspective which suggests that the world economy is liable to collapse, and as such it cannot be relied upon to provide all the goods, food, fuel and services required to live. The book argues that each community should develop an independent economy capable of restoring full employment to its area and ensuring the supply of goods and services should the mainstream economy collapse. It demonstrates how this could be done by supplying details of local energy-generation, currency, banking and food-supply systems, as well as detailing case studies of local communities at work in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, the USA, Britain and Ireland.

Short Circuiting Policy
Author: Leah Cardamore Stokes
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190074280
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over a thirty-year time frame, Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis. She tells the political history of our energy institutions, explaining how fossil fuel companies and electric utilities have promoted climate denial and delay. Stokes further explains the limits of policy feedback theory, showing the ways that interest groups drive retrenchment through lobbying, public opinion, political parties and the courts. More than a history of renewable energy policy in modern America, Short Circuiting Policy offers a bold new argument about how the policy process works, and why seeming victories can turn into losses when the opposition has enough resources to roll back laws.

Short-Circuits in AC and DC Systems
Author: J. C. Das
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 135123076X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 829
Book Description
This book provides an understanding of the nature of short-circuit currents, current interruption theories, circuit breaker types, calculations according to ANSI/IEEE and IEC standards, theoretical and practical basis of short-circuit current sources, and the rating structure of switching devices. The book aims to explain the nature of short-circuit currents, the symmetrical components for unsymmetrical faults, and matrix methods of solutions, which are invariably used on digital computers. It includes innovations, worked examples, case studies, and solved problems.

Short Circuits in Power Systems
Author: Ismail Kasikci
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527341366
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Reflecting the changes to the all-important short circuit calculations in three-phase power systems according to IEC 60909-0 standard, this new edition of the practical guide retains its proven and unique concept of explanations, calculations and real-life examples of short circuits in electrical networks. It has also been completely revised and expanded by 20% to include the standard-compliant prevention of short circuits in electrical networks for photovoltaics and wind energy. By understanding the theory any software allows users to perform all the necessary calculations with ease so they can work on the design and application of low- and high-voltage power systems. This book is a practitioner's guide intended for students, electrical engineers, engineers in power technology, the electrotechnical industry, engineering consultants, energy suppliers, chemical engineers and physicists in industry.
