520 1  "This book presents the physical and technical principles 
       of promising ways of utilising renewable energies. In this
       context, firstly the main characteristics of the available
       renewable energy streams are outlined. Subsequently, the 
       book presents the technologies of heat provision from 
       passive and active solar systems, ambient air,shallow 
       geothermal energy as well as energy from deep geothermal 
       sources. In the preceding chapters the book addresses the 
       processes of electricity generation from solar radiation 
       (photovoltaic and solar thermal power plant technologies),
       wind energy, and hydropower. In addition, a brief 
       discussions of harnessing ocean energies is included."
