Design Reliability and Maintainability of Energy Systems

Fausto Pedro Garcia Marquez

Designing reliable and maintainable Energy Systems presents researchers with the knowledge to create robust energy infrastructures. The book presents the core principles of reliability and maintainability, emphasizing how to minimize failures and ensure continuous operation through strategic design and proactive measures. Additionally, principles and strategies that facilitate efficient inspect, repair, and system upgrades are explored. Chapters present novel approaches to energy system design, including forecasting, the Internet-of-Things (IoT), machine learning, digital twin technology, and big data analysis, to enhance energy system resilience. Case studies and worked problems are included to demonstrate the practical applications of these technologies in critical areas such as preventing power outages, minimizing disruptions, and accurately assessing system resilience and challenges posed by climate change, cybersecurity threats, microgrid management, and the unique demands of aircraft energy systems. Designing reliable and maintainable Energy Systems is valuable to energy systems engineers and researchers working to develop stable and consistent power supplies to address the pressing challenges of climate change and the ongoing energy transition.
