As energy technology has emerged as an essential way to provide efficiency and environmental safety, monitoring these energy sources is a way of measuring the effectiveness of the applications and the fundamentals of each design. Technology and Energy Sources Monitoring: Control, Efficiency, and Optimization provides an overall understanding of the technology and energy processes of renewable energy sources, biomaterials and more. By outlining the primary intent of the applications of energy technology and sustainable energy systems development, this book aims to bring a deeper understanding of the innovations and measures taken towards the monitoring of energy sources.

This book focuses on modern technologies and systems for solving problems in the energy sector. It is shown that bioenergy is one of the promising areas of energy development. The book collected the experience of scientists from many countries in the research of renewable energy. The advantages of renewable energy are general availability, renewability, environmental friendliness. The analysis carried out by the authors shows the current state of renewable energy in the world, its trends and prospects. New measuring systems are presented, which can become the basis for measuring the thermal characteristics of various types of fuels, including biofuels, insulating materials, enclosing structures, etc. System for monitoring of grainy biomass comminution with the use of genetic algorithms has been presented and described. New technologies for the construction of power plants based on renewable energy sources have been proposed and investigated.

The search for alternative sources of energy is an attempt to solve two of the main problems facing the modern world. Today's resources are mainly based on fossil flammable substances such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The first problem is related to the expected and observed depletion of deposits, not only those available but also less accessible. Another is related to global warming from emissions of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide) as well as emissions of other pollutants in the atmosphere. Mitigating the harmful effects of fossil fuel use is an obvious challenge for mankind. This Special Issue includes articles on the search for new raw materials and new technologies for obtaining energy, such as those existing in nature, methane hydrates, biomass, etc., new more efficient technologies for generating electricity, as well as analyses of the possibilities and conditions of use of these resources for practical applications.

While the effects of climate change become ever more apparent and pressing, the discussion of sustainable practices and environmental protection is a common overture among the academic and scientific communities. However, in order to be truly effective, sustainable solutions must be tested and applied in real-world situations. Sustainability Science for Social, Economic, and Environmental Development investigates the role of sustainability in the everyday lives of ordinary citizens, including issues of economy, social interaction, exploitation of natural resources, and sources of renewable energy. In this book, researchers, policy makers, economists, scientists, and general readers will all find crucial insight into the parallels between theory and practice in sustainable development.

It is primarily written for senior undergraduates and graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of mechanical engineering, production engineering, industrial engineering, and environmental engineering.

Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change are currently major international problems. This makes it important to increase energy efficiency. The implementation of energy efficiency improvement measures has reduced energy demand for industrial platforms, so that energy plans designed before these measures are no longer appropriate for current tasks (extensions are not considered at this time). I intended to give a clear image and a better understanding of the factories,Äô power consumption (the industrial area in question is located near a city). A power plant-specific power system is quite disruptive, as can be seen from the monitored data at the power plant users and from the general power supply voltage bars (110¬†kV, 20¬†kV) as well as from the voltage bars of the adjacent users. Based on real-time measurements and monitoring devices, the following characteristic curves have been extracted for local energy systems. That is because data analysis is easy to be used for monitoring energy efficiency and elaborating optimization measures to improve power performance.
