Try this (untested)
subImage = yourImage(10:50, 50:100) % Extract search area region of interest.
[rows, columns] = size(subImage) % Get size.
maxValue = max(subImage) % Get maximum value of image in the search area.
location = (subImage == maxValue) % 2-D binary map showing location of max value.
[maxRow, maxCol] = ind2sub([rows, columns], location) % Row & Col of max value
totalEnergy = sum(subImage(:)) % Sum up all values in ROI to get total energy
