Beskrivning

Energy managers need to learn new and diverse ways to approach energy management in their company's assets as technology continues to evolve. Built into one cohesive and fundamental resource, Introduction to Energy Essentials: Insight into Nuclear, Renewable, and Non-Renewable Energies delivers an informative tool to understand the main steps for introducing and maintaining an energy management system (EnMS). Starting with a high-level introduction, the reference then takes a structured approach and dives into different sources of energy along with their contribution to energy efficiency, focusing on nuclear power, renewable and non-renewable energies. Multiple options are further discussed including economic considerations and cost comparisons per energy source, energy storage technology, and how to introduce an energy management system into your company. More advanced topics include nuclear reactor power plant systems and their thermal hydraulic analysis as well as cyber resiliency for future electric power and well plant control systems. Authored by experts, Introduction to Energy Essentials: Insight into Nuclear, Renewable, and Non-Renewable Energies gives today's energy managers and engineers a solid starting point to meeting the energy demands of today and in the future.

Understand key concepts, techniques, and tools surrounding energy management
Learn how to include smarter energy efficiency in your daily management decisions
Gain the fundamental technical skills and knowledge on renewable and non-renewable energy systems

Mer om författaren

Prof. Bahman Zohuri is an accomplished scientist, engineer, and academic with deep expertise in nuclear engineering, thermodynamics, and applied physics. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at Golden Gate University, where he teaches courses in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Prof. Zohuri holds degrees in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering from institutions including the University of Illinois and the University of New Mexico. Early in his career, he contributed to advanced research projects at Westinghouse, and later in defense and semiconductor industries, before founding Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. in 1991. Over his career, Prof. Zohuri has authored dozens of technical books and published over a hundred journal articles. He continues to pursue research in fields such as heat transfer, reactor design, computational methods, data mining, and AI-driven engineering solutions. Dr. Patrick McDaniel is currently Research Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of New Mexico. Dr. McDaniel began his career as a pilot and maintenance officer in the U.S. Air Force. After leaving the Air Force and obtaining his doctorate at Purdue University, he worked at Sandia National Laboratories. He left Sandia to become the technical leader for Phillips Laboratory’s (which became part of the Air Force Research Laboratory) Satellite Assessment Center. Having taught at the University of New Mexico in the Graduate Nuclear engineering program for 25 years, when he retired from Sandia in early 2009, he joined the faculty at the University of New Mexico full time. Dr. McDaniel holds a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from Purdue University, an MS in Resource Management from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, an MS from CalTech in Mechanical Engineering, and a BS in Engineering Science from the USAF Academy.
