An essential resource for optimizing energy systems to enhance design capability, performance and sustainability
Optimization of Energy Systems
comprehensively describes the thermodynamic modelling, analysis and
optimization of numerous types of energy systems in various
applications. It provides a new understanding of the system and the
process of defining proper objective functions for determination of the
most suitable design parameters for achieving enhanced efficiency, cost
effectiveness and sustainability.
Beginning with a
general summary of thermodynamics, optimization techniques and
optimization methods for thermal components, the book goes on to
describe how to determine the most appropriate design parameters for
more complex energy systems using various optimization methods. The
results of each chapter provide potential tools for design, analysis,
performance improvement, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
Key features:
- Comprehensive coverage of the modelling, analysis and optimization of many energy systems for a variety of applications.
- Examples, practical applications and case studies to put theory into practice.
- Study problems at the end of each chapter that foster critical thinking and skill development.
- Written in an easy-to-follow style, starting with simple systems and moving to advanced energy systems and their complexities.
A
unique resource for understanding cutting-edge research in the
thermodynamic analysis and optimization of a wide range of energy
systems, Optimization of Energy Systems
is suitable for graduate and senior undergraduate students,
researchers, engineers, practitioners, and scientists in the area of
energy systems.
