| book description |
This book presents a framework for sustainable, affordable, and reliable electricity systems. It begins by examining the global energy situation, emphasizing the pressures of population growth, rapid urbanization, and environmental degradation. The critical aspects of reliability and resiliency are discussed next. Modern grids must balance the intermittency of renewable energy sources with the demand for a continuous supply. Energy storage, smart grids, and innovative market mechanisms all play a role, but they also raise questions about cost and feasibility. Another central theme is the rise of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. These technologies promise to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, but they also affect electricity demand and intensify the need for critical minerals. Their rapid adoption requires infrastructure planning, recycling strategies, and grid integration. A distinctive contribution of this work is the identification of twelve key research gaps in energy transition knowledge, policy, and technology, and proposing strategies to move toward an energy future that is fair, resilient, and sustainable for generations to come.
