‘This collection of thoughtful chapters provides readers with an up-to-date review of recent developments and expert thinking about the process of planning, controlling and monitoring efficient and cost effective energy systems. While the collection is useful for practitioners, the primary focus is on research in a field undergoing rapid decarbonization, decentralization, digitalization and democratization. A wide range of analytical methods and strategies are addressed in the context of regulation, governance policy, and the ethical dimensions of developing and using energy technologies across several end use sectors, including industry, buildings, and transportation.’
