Faced with the climate change phenomena, humanity now has to contend with changing attitudes with respect to environment protection and depletion of classical energy resources. These have had consequences in the power production sector, which is already faced with negative public opinions on nuclear energy and favorable perception of renewable energy resources and distributed power generation. The objective of this book is to review all these changes and recent advances and to present innovative options and solutions for future power generation.
