- Presents fundamental issues of successfully integrating and implementing energy systems.
- Exposes students to combined heat and power strategies (cogeneration system), strategies of incorporating renewable with nonrenewable energy sources, thermoeconomics, and carbon sequesteration techniques.
- Includes energy, exergy, and thermoeconomic cost factors in the presented case studies.
- Explores the effects of public policy, regulations, and financial operations on selecting energy technology.
- Students are given case studies to illustrate the complexity of implementing energy systems and are expected to complete a major project involving proposing an energy system.
- Emphasizes that successful implementation of energy systems requires both a technical and an economic solution.
- Requires calculus-based physics and chemistry.
