District energy systems use central heating and/or cooling facilities to provide heating and/or cooling services for communities and can be particularly beneficial when integrated with cogeneration plants for electricity and heat. This book provides information on district energy and cogeneration technologies, and the systems that combine them, with a focus on their modelling, analysis and optimization.

Topics covered include:

* brief introduction to district heating and cogeneration
* background material on thermodynamics and exergy analyses
* models for...
