Power and Energy Systems Engineering Economics

Power and Energy industry is a highly capital intensive business field. Furthermorethere is a very close interlinkage between technologies and economicsthat requires engineers and economists to have a common understandingof project evaluation approaches and methodologies. The book's overall objectiveis to provide a comprehensive but concise coverage of engineeringeconomics required for techno-economic evaluation of investments in powerand energy system projects. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on transferring practicalknow-how rather than pure theoretical knowledge. This is also demonstratedin numerous examples derived from experience of respective projects. The book comprises seven chapters. The text part is supported by about 25 tables, 40 figures,55 application examples and 7 Case Studies. Target audience of the book are primarily international consultants, staffmembers of engineering companies, utility personnel, energy economists andlawyers, as well as employees of government agencies entrusted with regulatingthe energy and utility sector and, finally, students in related fields of engineeringand economics.
