Introduction to Energy Analysis Summary

Introduction to Energy Analysis by Kornelis Blok (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)

This textbook provides an introduction to energy analysis for those students who want to specialise in this challenging field.

In comparison to other textbooks, this book provides a balanced treatment of complete energy systems, covering the demand side, the supply side, and the energy markets that connect these. The emphasis is very much on presenting a range of tools and methodologies that will help students find their way in analysing real world problems in energy systems. This new edition has been updated throughout and contains additional content on energy transitions and improvements in the treatment of several energy systems analysis approaches.

Featuring learning objectives, further readings and practical exercises in each chapter, Introduction to Energy Analysis will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students with a background in the natural sciences and engineering. This book may also be useful for professionals dealing with energy issues, as a first introduction into the field.

Introduction to Energy Analysis Reviews

"This book offers a broad overview of topics in energy analysis, and is very suitable for beginners in this field of science. It contains a large variety of exercises, making it a valuable resource for students to study the content and test their understanding in their own time and at their own pace."
Wilfried Ivens, Associate Professor at Open Universiteit Nederland

Praise for the second edition

"Introduction to Energy Analysis provides a wonderful combination of technical detail and broad accessibility to the physical science and economics principles of energy systems design, operation, and impacts. With the exciting evolution of the energy field this is the sort of roadmap to the principles underlying the field that so many experts and non-experts will need."
Daniel Kammen, Professor of Energy, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"Given the rapid developments in the energy sector, Introduction to Energy Analysis by Blok and Nieuwlaar is most welcome. The book is suitable for students, engineers and researchers and is hugely useful in my class on Energy System Analysis at ETH Zurich."
Goeran Andersson, Full Professor of the Power Systems Group at ETH Zurich, Switzerland

"[In this updated edition] Blok and Nieuwlaar provide an excellent, clear and concise overview and introduction to the key aspects of energy analysis. It is the ultimate and unparalleled textbook for engineering students and others who look for a broad understanding of energy systems, their development, and the methods and tools for their analysis."
Lars J. Nilsson, Professor of Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, Lund University, Sweden
