Synopsis

With the advent of climate change on the horizon, humanity faces numerous adjustments in their way of life, including the attitude towards environmental protection and the depletion of traditional energy resources. These changes have significant impacts in the power production sector. Future energy systems must be considerate of the changes and developments found in technology, such as, the improvements of natural gas combined cycles. This emerging research will enhance the security of energy systems, protection of environment, improve energy efficiency and sustainability. Power Engineering evaluates these methods and also presents alternate solutions for power generation.
