"Energy is the basic need of humans in their daily lives. For effective generation, storage, and utilisation of energy, it has to be modelled and simulated before its development. The industrial problems are complex in nature. They need to solve problemsusing computation tools. The computational tools result in solutions using numerical methods. Therefore, at the initial level, modelling and simulation of the problem need to be fed to the computational tool for further analysis, optimisation, and design. This book provides the flat form to learn and apply the modelling and simulation techniques to develop energy systems. It gives us a great opportunity to plan and create new and innovative energy systems. The chapters cover both conventional and non-conventional energy systems"-- Provided by publisher.
This book explores the principles, methods, and tools used to design, analyse, and optimize diverse energy systems. Covering both conventional and renewable energy technologies, the book integrates theoretical foundations with practical modelling approaches to address real-world challenges in energy generation, conversion, and utilization.
Modelling of Energy Systems explores the principles, methods, and tools used to design, analyse, and optimize diverse energy systems. Covering both conventional and renewable energy technologies, the book integrates theoretical foundations with practical modelling approaches to address real-world challenges in energy generation, conversion, and utilization. It emphasizes system-level thinking, incorporating aspects such as energy flow, thermodynamics, solar geometry, thermal systems, and advanced computational methods. With clear explanations, case studies, and illustrative examples, this work serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and engineers aiming to develop efficient, sustainable, and innovative energy solutions for a rapidly evolving global energy landscape.
