Introduction to Energy Essentials Summary

Introduction to Energy Essentials: Insight into Nuclear, Renewable, and Non-Renewable Energies by Bahman Zohuri (Adjunct Professor, Artificial Intelligence Scientist, Golden Gate University, San Francisco, CA Research Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University if New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA)

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.

About Bahman Zohuri (Adjunct Professor, Artificial Intelligence Scientist, Golden Gate University, San Francisco, CA Research Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University if New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA)

Dr. Bahman Zohuri is currently an Adjunct Professor in Artificial Intelligence Science at Golden Gate University, San Francisco, California, who runs his own consulting company and was previously a consultant at Sandia National Laboratory. Dr. Zohuri earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in physics from the University of Illinois. He earned his second master's degree in mechanical engineering, and also his doctorate in nuclear engineering from the University of New Mexico. He owns three patents and has published more than 40 textbooks and numerous journal publications. 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.
