Describing the motivation and key challenges in the climate-energy modeling community, this reference looks at the fundamentals of climate and energy systems before integrating them into a cohesive analysis framework. The book presents various energy production optimization case studies spanning urban and national scales, annual to multi-decade long timescales, and various economic and environmental considerations
Practitioners and students interested in climate and energy systems will gain a foundational platform from which to develop informed assessments of future energy use. As making informed energy planning decisions requires a better understanding of how climate trends, extreme events, and public policy could impact energy production performance, cost, and emissions, this book is an ideal resource for readers.
- Includes an accessible introduction and detailed advances on climate and energy system models
- Provides relevant and real case studies that can be adapted to practical applications
- Presents examples using free, open-source frameworks for easy implementation
