An in-depth introduction to applications and analysis of energy
systems, covering both renewable and traditional types of energy
systems In Introduction to Energy Systems, the content is uniquely
designed to cover comprehensive descriptions and assessments of all
the key types of energy sources, including fossil fuels-based,
nuclear and renewable energy systems, with a special focus on their
design, analysis and assessment, technical and operational aspects,
and applications. As a comprehensive resource, the work also
introduces many topics not typically covered in other energy system
textbooks, such as system design and assessment through exergy,
environmental impact assessment of energy systems, and life cycle
assessment. From a theory standpoint, the book provides
comprehensive context on the importance of energy and the issues
related to energy we face in our world today, with close attention
paid to key environmental and sustainability issues. Furthermore,
the book includes illustrative examples and problems, and case
studies. To aid in seamless reader comprehension, helpful and
interactive questions and problems are included at the end of each
chapter. An accompanying solutions manual and PowerPoint slides are
also available for instructor use. Sample topics covered in
Introduction to Energy Systems include: Fundamental concepts and
thermodynamic principles, traditional and innovative systems, and
detailed applications in renewable energy systems, including solar,
wind, geothermal, biomass, hydro and marine energies. Different
types of fuels used in energy systems today, discussing their
combustion characteristics with a clear analysis of each one and
analyses and assessments through energy and exergy approaches.
Industrial ecology and life cycle assessment, with the intention of
clearly assessing the environmental impacts of energy systems How
to write balance equations for mass, energy, entropy and exergy,
calculate the required capacities, and find the energy and exergy
efficiencies and/or energetic and exergetic coefficient of
performance values. Introduction to Energy Systems serves as a
valuable learning resource for both undergraduate and graduate
students studying courses, such as Introduction to Energy Systems,
Energy System Design, Renewable Energy, Energy &
Sustainability, and Fundamentals of Renewable Energy. Thanks to the
included instructor resources, the work also serves as a useful
classroom textbook resource.
