Presentation Title:

Exergy Methods for Energy Management and Sustainability

Abstract:

The use of exergy techniques is described as tools for addressing energy and environmental management so the benefits can be appreciated more fully and attained in practice. Exergy can be used to understand environmental impacts and climate change measures and to assess and improve energy systems. Exergy techniques also can help better understand the benefits of utilizing sustainable energy by providing more useful and meaningful information than energy methods provide. Exergy clearly identifies efficiency improvements and reductions in wastes and environmental impacts attributable to sustainable energy. Exergy techniques thereby allow rational statements of the potential for improvement of any system, based on the laws of thermodynamics. Exergy can also identify better than energy the environmental benefits and economics of energy technologies. Exergy techniques should be applied in addressing energy and environmental management, as a complementary tool to more conventional methods
