Energy From The Desert Practical Proposals For Very Large Scale Photovoltaic Systems

Download or read book Energy from the Desert written by Kosuke Kurokawa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's deserts are sufficiently large that, in theory, covering a fraction of their landmass with PV systems could generate many times the current primary global energy supply. In three parts, this study details the background and concept of VLS-PV, maps out a development path towards the realization of VLS-PV systems and provides firm recommendations to achieve long-term targets. This represents the first study to provide a concrete set of answers to the questions that must be addressed in order to secure and exploit the potential for VLS-PV technology and its global benefits.
