Written in clear concise language and designed for an introductory applied energy course Applied Energy: An Introduction discusses energy applications in small-medium enterprises solar energy hydro and wind energy nuclear energy hybrid energy and energy sustainability issues. Focusing on renewable energy technologies energy conversion and conservation and the energy industry the author lists the key aspects of applied energy and related studies taking a question-based approach to the material that is useful for both undergraduate students and postgraduates who want a broad overview of energy conversion. The author carefully designed the text to motivate students and give them the foundation they need to place the concepts presented into a real-world context. He begins with an introduction to the basics and the definitions used throughout the book. From there he covers the energy industry and energy applications; energy sources supply and demand; and energy management policy plans and analysis. Building on this the author elucidates various energy saving technologies and energy storage methods explores the pros and cons of fossil fuels and alternative energy sources and examines the various types of applications of alternative energies. The book concludes with chapters on hybrid energy technology hybrid energy schemes other energy conversion methods and applied energy issues. The book takes advantage of practical and application-based learning presenting the information in various forms such as essential notes followed by practical projects assignments and objective and practical questions. In each chapter a small section introduces some elements of applied energy design and innovation linking knowledge with applied energy design and practice. The comprehensive coverage gives students the skills not only to master the concepts in the course but also apply them to future work in this area. | Applied Energy An Introduction
