    Handbook of Energy Audits
    (Taylor & Francis, 2010) Albert Thumann; William J. Younger; Terry Niehus
    As a result of changes in the energy marketplace, the role of energy audits has greatly expanded. There is an increasing need in business and industry to more effectively manage energy use. Reducing utility costs is still one of the most effective and achievable strategies for lowering the operating costs. Today, many large energy consumers are contracting with energy service providers to implement energy projects. This arrangement necessitates the establishing of baseline energy usage as well as quantification of savings resulting from project implementation. Accurate and complete energy audits are essential as a means to assess and verify a project’s success at meeting contracted goals. This book is designed to provide you with the fundamental knowledge you need to evaluate how energy is used in commercial facilities, establish accurate baseline information, and identify where energy consumption can be reduced.

    Energy Storagein Power Systems
    (Wiley, 2016) Francisco Díaz-González; Andreas Sumper; Oriol Gomis-Bellmunt
    Power systems are complex structures composed of an enormous number of different installations, economic actors, and – in smaller numbers – system operators. In the traditional approach, the system is dominated by economies of scale. This means that for steadily increasing consumption, a large power generation capacity is installed, mainly nuclear, coal- or gas-fired thermal, and hydroelectric.

    BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
    (S. CHAND & COMPANY PVT. LTD., 2008) V.K. MEHTA; ROHIT MEHTA
    Everybody is familiar with the functions that electricity can perform. It can be used for lighting, heating, traction and countless other purposes. The question always arises, “What is electricity” ? Several theories about electricity were developed through experiments and by observation of its behaviour. The only theory that has survived over the years to explain the nature of electricity is the Modern Electron theory of matter. This theory has been the result of research work conducted by scientists like Sir William Crooks, J.J. Thomson, Robert A. Millikan, Sir Earnest Rutherford and Neils Bohr. In this chapter, we shall deal with some basic concepts concerning electricity.
