Energy Systems Engineering: Evaluation and Implementation
This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap between dry engineering texts and touchy-feely guides for novices.
The authors treat each topic area with a crisply written and comprehensive walk through that includes history, current state of development, key concepts and important areas of controversy and ongoing development.
These are followed up with well-designed exercises that teach the reader the formulas and equations required to design and evaluate these systems.
As a layman with a good general knowledge of energy systems and their inherent strengths and challenges, I found this book to a nice step up from the treatments I’m used to. The orderly, analytical approach of the trained engineer is compelling, and having the option of proceeding right into the related math a great way to shift my theoretical understanding toward a real working knowledge.
The topic areas covered in this book are critically important for us all to understand, as our race is forced to start implementing some kind of “Plan B” in the era of Peak Oil and Climate Change. This book helps us move from mystique to measurement–a prerequisite if we are to have a hope of getting it right.
