《非傳統(tǒng)能源》(Non-Conventional Energy Resources)一書的內(nèi)容非常豐富,也比較有特色。從內(nèi)容上講,該書不僅包含了太陽能、風(fēng)能、生物質(zhì)能、地?zé)崮?、海洋能、水能等可再生能源,而且對各種新型的能源利用技術(shù),包括燃料電池、氫能、磁流體發(fā)電、熱電堆發(fā)電等進(jìn)行了介紹,同時還對財務(wù)和經(jīng)濟(jì)評價方法進(jìn)行了較詳細(xì)的說明。這與國內(nèi)一些院校為本科生開設(shè)的課程“可再生能源及其利用技術(shù)”或類似的課程時,也將財務(wù)和經(jīng)濟(jì)評價的內(nèi)容包括在內(nèi)的情況不謀而合。這說明對于這些非傳統(tǒng)能源,經(jīng)濟(jì)評價已經(jīng)是相當(dāng)重要的一個方面。而對于每種主要的能源形式,該書都從基本理論、主要利用技術(shù)、環(huán)境特性、發(fā)展應(yīng)用現(xiàn)狀等方面進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的介紹。如果作為教材或教學(xué)參考書,建議教師能夠再在技術(shù)經(jīng)濟(jì)性方面做些補(bǔ)充,教學(xué)內(nèi)容會更加全面?!斗莻鹘y(tǒng)能源(第2版)》對太陽能的介紹最為詳盡,共用了三個章節(jié),分別介紹了太陽能的基礎(chǔ)知識,太陽熱系統(tǒng),以及太陽能光伏系統(tǒng)。其他能源形式基本是每種一章。同時,《非傳統(tǒng)能源(第2版)》對儲能也給予了關(guān)注,除了有單獨(dú)的一章介紹儲能外,對風(fēng)能等具體能源形式的儲存問題也進(jìn)行了介紹?!斗莻鹘y(tǒng)能源(第2版)》的主要特色還有以下幾個方面:首先是有大量的例題,這在目前很多相關(guān)內(nèi)容的書籍中是比較少見的;大量的例題非常有利于對內(nèi)容的理解。其次是有很多特色習(xí)題,《非傳統(tǒng)能源(第2版)》的習(xí)題分為三部分,一是用來復(fù)習(xí)課本內(nèi)容的問題(Review Questions);二是一些分析或計算題(Problems),可以對課本中的知識進(jìn)行應(yīng)用;三是客觀題(Objective Questions),主要是對一些基本的知識點(diǎn)進(jìn)行考查?!斗莻鹘y(tǒng)能源(第2版)》所介紹的例子、應(yīng)用情況均是以印度的情況為主,閱讀和使用時,建議盡量參考我國的實(shí)際情況進(jìn)行修改和補(bǔ)充。
