The Energy System

Technology, Economics, Markets, and Policy

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This comprehensive textbook integrates technology, economics, markets, and policy to address energy issues through a dynamic systems and capital-centric lens. The global energy system is crucial for modern industrial society, yet it has traditionally been studied in isolation across various disciplines. This work uniquely employs a dynamic systems perspective to track energy from primary resources to final services, navigating a complex and capital-intensive supply chain influenced by macroeconomic and natural resource systems. It starts by establishing a framework for understanding energy transformation within the system, highlighting how capital interacts with technical, market, and policy conditions. The text delves into three main energy subsystems: electricity, transportation, and thermal energy, covering essential topics like systems thinking, cost estimation, capital formation, market design, and policy tools. Ultimately, it reintegrates these subsystems, examining their connections to the broader economic system and ecosystem. This approach offers practitioners and theorists across various fields valuable insights into dynamic energy system processes and potential intervention strategies.
