140 Clean Water Using Solar and Wind: Outside the Power Grid major contribution comes from the Fraunhofer Institut für Solare Energiesysteme. Delucchi and Jacobson (2011) discuss methods of addressing the variability of wind, water and solar energy to ensure that power supply reliably matches demand. A comparison between lithium-based and flow batteries is presented by Uhrig et  al. (2016). Fundamental principles of fuel cells are explained in detail in Larminie and Dicks (2003). A very personal account of the development of renewable energy in the US is told by Hoffman (2016). He also regularly writes on energy issues on his blog (Lapsed Physicist, 2018). For the reader particularly interested in renewable energy the book Jones (2017) is a deep well of information. The book concentrates on renewable power production and its integration into grids. Challenges related to variable production and energy storage as well as island power systems are analysed. There is a lot of practical information on YouTube concerning battery choice, design, charging and discharging. Look for “solar batteries”.
