This course aims to provide the basic knowledge about various types of energy distribution systems, to teach the fundamentals of thermal- fluid sciences, to examine the essential technology, processes and policies related to energy distribution. The energy distribution is discussed from a logistics management approach. Several energy resources are analyzed; their extraction and transportation processes are examined. Energy logistics related problems and alternative solution approaches are discussed. Students gain a better understanding of energy distribution in general, and production, consumption, and conservation of energy in particular.

This course provides an overview of the energy distribution systems. Management decision processes are discussed with a focus on economic issues and their relationship to operations planning models. The course also includes application of thermo-economic models and examining industry field practices.
