Description
The energy supply and demand system is of great importance for society, from economic, social, and ecological viewpoints. The last decade in particular has seen rapid changes in the world of energy systems, and it is therefore now an important area for study, academic research, and professional work.
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.
Featuring learning objectives, further readings and practical exercises in each chapter, An Introduction to Energy Analysis will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students with a background in the natural sciences and egineering. This book may also be useful for professionals dealing with energy issues, as a first introduction into the field.

Reviews / Votes
"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, this 2nd edition of 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
