Landscapes of Energies, a Perspective on the Energy Transition

2015
This chapter discusses the way in which cross national comparison shall be approached. We assume that energy landscapes emerge at the crossroads of energy technology development and changes in current landscapes. We successively discuss different frameworks for approaching technology devel-opment and landscape change, before turning to the recent ...

Altitude Transitions in Energy Climbs *

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1981
Abstract The aircraft energy-climb trajectory for configurations with a sharp transonic drag rise is well known to possess two branches in the altitude/Mach-number plane. Transition in altitude between the two branches occurs instantaneously, a “corner” in the minimum-time solution obtained with the energy-state model. If the initial and final values

Energy Politics and Energy Transition

2022
There is a general agreement that the history of the development of human societies is a history of the complex transition from one energy production system to another. However, the political issue of the energy transition emerged overwhelmingly after the 1970s energy-environmental crises, along with the critical reflections on the sustainability of ...

Transitions in Energy Systems

2012
This chapter examines the theme of transitions in energy systems. It assesses the literature that explores the genesis, growth, and management of transitions. This literature provides a multi-level framework for large-scale, transformative change in technology systems, involving a hierarchy of changes from experiments to niches to technology regimes ...

Energy in transition

Applied Energy, 1986
Abstract A plentiful, benign energy supply is essential for a high standard of living. In the near future the current temporary oil surplus will be exhausted and we will experience energy shortages and increasing prices. The surplus is not the result of the discovery of significant new oil.

Energy Transition

2021
This book presents both the importance of energy transition and its associated difficulties. Providing an explanation of the physical concepts of energy and power, the book reviews global energy consumption and our dependence on energy. It discusses the links between the economy and energy.

Energy Transitions

2010
This bold and controversial argument shows why energy transitions are inherently complex and prolonged affairs, and how ignoring this fact raises unrealistic expectations that the United States and other global economies can be weaned quickly from a primary dependency on fossil fuels.
