Assessment of the potentials for renewable energy sources

Gustav Resch, Anne Held, Felipe Andres Toro and Mario Ragwitz 

The possible use of RES depends in particular on the available resources and the associated costs. In this context, the term available resources or RES potential has to be clarified. The RES potential might be represented by the overall theoretically available resources or might take into account different aspects that restrict the theoretically available resources. Subsequently, the RES-potential categories used within this book are described.
