Hydropower Economics: v. 112 (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science) - Tapa dura

From the reviews:

"This book claims that if one is to correctly comprehend deregulation in electricity markets, then one must first develop an appreciation for the optimal use of hydro and thermal power. ... this book would have profited from a thorough review of the extant literature. ... it is important to note that the author deals well with his selected topics. ... I recommend this book to all readers who wish to learn more about the economics of hydroelectric power." (Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Interfaces, Vol. 39 (1), January-February, 2009)

There are few more urgent topics in today's world, so full of ecological uncertainty. Hydropower Economics uses various econometric measures to examine sustainable alternative energy sources. It kicks off by modeling hydropower, yes, but it does not end there. Forsund has extended his model to include thermal power and wind power, too - forms of alternative energy that are taking on an ever larger profile.
