The book discusses the role of energy services within the larger energy landscape and explores key technical aspects of energy systems for power, heating and cooling, including renewable energy systems and combined heat and power. The book analyzes energy efficiency in several electrical devices, such as motors, lighting and vehicles. It then examines actual energy services business models and policy, before presenting a quick reference section that includes key models and calculations.
- Provides an innovative approach to the fundamental aspects related with energy services, including technology implementation and financial schemes
- Discusses tools to measure process efficiency and sustainability in power and heating applications
- Includes case studies, models and calculations, both technical and financial, as well as downloadable data for simulation and modeling
Practitioners in energy utilities and energy consultants working with energy-heavy industry sectors and other large-scale energy consumers. Engineering professionals, researchers and graduate students working on issues related to energy planning and energy management, particularly with a background in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering
