Energy Systems Engineering: Evaluation and Implementation, Third Edition 3rd Edition

Excellent book to cover holistic approaches to energy for last year undergraduate or beginners in postgraduate courses on the subject. Very good complementary material and examples from a web that provides more support for the teachers and instructors, so tables and figures can be worked on class and/or for assignments.

My semester is going well due to this book. The writing is easy to understand, the topics are relevant and educational. The book is very well organized. It is a great book.

Lots of good information in this book. Sometimes hard to read without enough background.

I teach a graduate course in Renewable Energy and Resource Conservation to mostly environmental engineering students but engineering students from the mechanical, electrical, and ocean and naval architecture departments and environmental science students also take my course. I was looking for a textbook that I could use to introduce calculations and design related to wind energy and solar energy and for this purpose I found that Chapters 13, 9 and 10 of the 3rd edition of this book were excellent. I plan to develop my course further in the future using other chapters from this book. I think the students were also pleased with the course content. My impression has been that there are not too many books like this available and one of the reasons I selected this book is because the primary author has a civil and environmental engineering background and that is the same background as my own.

Comprehensive general review. However, third addition does not include PPT slides for instructor aids as did second addition.

Useful resource for anyone interested in renewable energy projects and their engineering.
