ABSTRACT

Applied Energy refers to any energy conversion when applied to energy systems (see Figure 1.1). The subject matter and the associated scope are therefore very vast — it refers primarily to our daily domestic and industrial energy usage and applications in various areas of energy conversion and conservation, energy resources, energy processes, energy storage, safety, and transport, environmental energy pollutants, and sustainable energy systems, as well as techno-economics, energy innovation, and applied energy issues around the globe.
