Case Studies in Energy Systems: A Practical Approach to Energy System Design and Analysis demonstrates the application of both fundamental and advanced principles by providing a broad range of case studies, examples, and models. Opening with a clear summary of the foundational theory, this book then presents a selection of case studies based on the experience of experts. Examples are analyzed in a holistic context, considering environmental, economic, and technological aspects. Finally, the authors have provided models, codes, and calculation spreadsheets where appropriate, allowing readers to test the tools for themselves.
Equipping researchers and advanced students for the transition to industry practice, this book is a guide to real-world problem-solving for the energy future.
