Description & Coverage
Description:

Green technologies and energy-efficient practices have become two of the most prevalent issues in global society. However, many countries still lack the technology or resources needed to implement sustainable practices within their societies.

Promoting Sustainable Practices through Energy Engineering and Asset Management discusses the challenges that the developing world faces when implementing and utilizing environmentally friendly techniques. This publication is a crucial reference source for managers, scientists, technology developers, and engineers interested in the adoption of sustainable practices in developing countries.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Developing Countries
  • Energy Dependability
  • Environmental Issues
  • Green Energy
  • Industrial Management
  • Reliability Analysis
  • Sustainability
Reviews & Statements

Industrial engineers survey installations, mathematics and methodologies of sustainable energy production in industrializing countries. Their topics include assessing the profitability of changing a turbine for a hydroelectric power plant based on long-period water gauge readings, electricity production from small-scale photovoltaics in urban areas, the topicalities and peculiarities of integrating renewable energy sources into the Ukrainian power grids and heating system, mathematical and stochastic models for reliability in repairable industrial physical assets, and a low carbon footprint as the supply chain agenda in Malaysian manufacturing firms.
