Sustainable Energy Management: Planning, Implementation, Control and Strategy

Sustainable Energy Management, 2nd Edition, provides the key concepts and practical knowledge to successfully plan, implement and control energy technologies with focus on efficiency, sustainability and security. This guide provides new paradigms for measuring energy sustainability, pragmatic methods for applying renewable resources and efficiency improvements, and unique insights on managing risk. It highlights the possible financial and practical impacts of these activities, as well as the methods for their calculation. This new edition of this well-known work has deeper coverage of energy security, provides updated guidelines for planning, analyzing, developing and optimizing sustainable energy production projects in the real world, and includes real-life examples of the topics covered in each chapter.  For its focus on real-life issues and discussion of practical challenges, Sustainable Energy Management, 2nd Edition is an ideal resource for engineers, researchers and energy managers developing and rolling out sustainable energy practices. Graduate students in the field benefit from the book's exploration of all key-concepts of energy management, whereas policy-makers and energy-analysts will find the case studies particularly helpful as benchmarks to guide their own decisions, especially in the new chapter on energy security. This new edition features: Completely updated content, including new data, tables and figures. All-new, global case studies in every chapter. New content on energy security, advanced methodology of energy saving and energy efficiency, integration of renewables, GHG emissions, and future challenges that will impact energy consumption and generation. Retaind key features: Explores real-life pathways for transitioning to sustainable energy practices.  Features case studies from around the world, explaining the whys and hows of successes and failures. Covers a broad spectrum of energy development issues from planning through realization, emphasizing efficiency, scale-up of renewables, risk mitigation and energy security.
