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 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 questions and problems are included at the end of  each chapter. 

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, discussions of 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 exegetics 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.
