About this ebook
The Renewable Energy Technologies and Water Infrastructure (1st Edition), edited by S. Rao Chitikela, Venkata Gullapalli, and William F. Ritter, spans 12 chapters detailing the integration of clean energy systems into water and wastewater management. Published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the book covers the following primary topics: [1, 2]
1. Policy and Regulation
- US Renewable Energy Policies: A review of major federal laws, acts (such as the National Energy Act, Energy Policy Act, and EISA 2007), and varying federal and state standards. [1]
- Rulemaking: An analysis of how effective energy policy helps incorporate renewables into statewide energy mixes to serve public utilities. [1]
2. Core Renewable Energy Technologies
- Micro-Hydro Power: Implementing small-scale hydroelectric systems within existing water distribution pipelines and gravity-fed infrastructure.
- Biofuels & Biogas-to-Energy: Utilizing ethanol, biodiesel, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems powered by biogas harvested from wastewater sludge digestion.
- Fuel Cells: The application of clean fuel cell technologies to provide reliable power for water purification processes.
- Solar & Wind Energy: Adapting photovoltaic arrays and wind turbines to power water/wastewater systems, focusing on grid independence and infrastructure resilience.
- Geothermal Energy: Tapping into geothermal resources for heating, cooling, and power needs within water facilities. [1, 2]
3. Infrastructure Applications & Case Studies
- Sustainable Desalination: Green engineering methods designed to lower the immense carbon and energy footprint of thermal and membrane-based water desalination systems. [1, 2]
- Water Quality Monitoring: Utilizing standalone renewable energy setups to power remote environmental sensor networks and monitoring equipment. [1]
- Global Trends & Future Outlook: Practical case studies showcasing operational water networks that successfully mitigate fossil-fuel dependence through sustainable, real-world utility management. [1]
