Integrated Energy Systems for Multigeneration

Looks at how measures implemented to limit greenhouse gas emissions must consider smart utilization of available limited resources and employ renewable resources through integrated energy systems and the utilization of waste energy streams. This reference considers the main concepts of thermal and conventional energy systems through detailed systems description, analyses of methodologies, performance assessment and optimization, and illustrative examples and case studies. The book examines producing power and heat with cooling, freshwater, green fuels and other useful commodities designed to tackle rising greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.

With worldwide energy demand increasing, and the consequences of meeting supply with current dependency on fossil fuels, investigating and developing sustainable alternatives to the conventional energy systems is a growing concern for global stakeholders.

• Analyzes the links between clean energy technologies and achieving sustainable development
• Illustrates several examples of design and analysis of integrated energy systems
• Discusses performance assessment and optimization
• Uses illustrative examples and global case studies to explain methodologies and concepts
