Praise from 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

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.
