Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of modular integrated utility systems (MIUS) in which utilities, such as heat, electricity, and water, are produced at the point of use by generating sources such as gas turbines, diesel engines, solar or nuclear heat sources, or other primary fuel sources. It focuses on the combination of small or intermediate-scale components to produce utility services for a community or small group of buildings. The contributors discuss the rationale for MIUS; review MIUS projects in the United States, Europe, and Japan; describe system design, equipment selection, and implementation issues; and evaluate their use in the context of energy supply and utilization. The book's insights will inform policymakers, engineers, planners, architects, and students in the field of energy systems and the planning and design of integrated community energy systems.
