Energy System Design

Green energy is indispensable to the welfare of the future society—hence the global tendency to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Such a change, however, is fraught with major technological, economic, environmental and social challenges, which require the creative mind of engineers for solutions. Energy System Design, with its special focus on the engineering, design, and control of sustainable energy systems, aims to provide engineers with novel ideas regarding the efficient and robust functioning of energy systems.
