Case Studies in Energy Systems

Written for master students, PhD candidates, researchers, and practicing engineers in energy engineering, the 1st Edition of Case Studies in Energy Systems provides analytical models and structured examples for energy system design. The textbook opens with a summary of foundational theory before moving into applied engineering case studies.

Core coverage addresses combined heat and power installations in the beverage industry as well as solar thermal system designs featuring connected thermal storage. Broad energy transition themes are further developed through comprehensive technical feasibility studies and thermo-economic evaluations of combined-cycle and open-cycle gas turbine power plants integrating renewable fuel substitution.

Every case study systematically integrates environmental, economic, and technological evaluations to reflect real-world engineering decisions. By linking theoretical concepts directly to operational facility scenarios, this volume provides structured support for graduate-level energy engineering curricula, advanced academic research initiatives, and professional system design work.
