The primary objective of this book series is to highlight the best-implemented
worldwide policies, projects and research dealing with renewable energy and the
environment. The books are developed in partnership with the World Renewable
Energy Network (WREN). WREN is one of the most effective organizations in
supporting and enhancing the utilisation and implementation of renewable energy
sourcesthatarebothenvironmentallysafeandeconomicallysustainable.Contribu-
torstobooksinthisseriescomefromaworldwidenetworkofagencies,laboratories,
institutions, companies and individuals, all working together towards an interna-
tional diffusion of renewable energy technologies and applications. With contribu-
tions from most countries in the world, books in this series promote the
communication and technical education of scientists, engineers, technicians and
managers in this field and address the energy needs of both developing and devel-
opedcountries.
EachbookintheseriescontainscontributionsfromWRENmembersandcover
the most-up-to-date research developments, government policies, business models,
best practices, and innovations from countries all over the globe. Additionally, the
seriespublishesacollectionofbestpaperspresentedduringtheannualandbi-annual
