Energy Systems and Processes Recent Advances in Design and Control

Energy Systems and Recent Advances in Design and Control addresses advanced systematic techniques in the design, control, operation, and optimization of complex energy systems. The book discusses recent advances in the study of energy systems and various aspects of technical challenges by using state-of-the-art systematic methods. It covers a broad range of energy topics, including traditional fossil fuels, renewable energy, clean energy production and storage, emerging non-traditional energy sources such as oil sands, shale gas, and natural gas hydrates, and energy-efficient techniques like HVAC/building control. This up-to-date Includes the most recent developments in systems techniques including multi-scale modeling, model predictive control, and machine learning, as applied to a wide variety of energy systems Focuses on how systematic strategies can be used to improve energy efficiency, economic performance, and safety Presents thorough coverage of control approaches that align with the rising interest in AI and machine learning Energy Systems and Recent Advances in Design and Control is an invaluable resource for graduate students working in energy system design, control, and optimization. It is also useful for practitioners working in the power and sustainable energy industries.
