Ultra-capacitors, used as short-term energy storage devices, are growing in popularity especially in the transportation and renewable energy sectors. This text provides an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of ultra-capacitor theory, modeling and module design from an application perspective, focusing on the practical aspects of power conversion and ultra-capacitor integration with power electronics systems.

Key features:

• clearly explains the theoretical and practical aspects of ultra-capacitor, analysis, modelling and design
• describes different...

Presenting the policy drivers, benefits and challenges for grid integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the open electricity market environment, this book provides a comprehensive overview of existing electricity markets and demonstrates how EVs are integrated into these different markets and power systems.

Unlike other texts, this book analyses EV integration in parallel with electricity market design, showing the interaction between EVs and differing electricity markets. Future regulating power market and distribution system operator (DSO) market design is covered, with...

Die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz reduziert die Lebenszykluskosten von Immobilien und ist wesentlicher Baustein zur Erreichung der weltweiten Klimaziele. Beim Bau und Betrieb offentlicher Hochbauten muss der Staat eine Vorbildfunktion einnehmen. Aufgrund der anhaltenden defizitaren Haushaltslage der offentlichen Hand gewinnt die alternative Beschaffungsvariante Offentlich-Private Partnerschaften zunehmend an Bedeutung. Robin Heidel zeigt auf, wie OPP-Hochbauprojekte gestaltet werden mussen, damit ein energieeffizienter Betrieb sichergestellt wird. Er entwickelt dazu ein Referenz-modell...

Seismic Resilience of Natural Gas Systems: Improving Performance highlights seismic risk mitigation issues of interest to engineers and managers responsible for the performance and safety of natural gas pipelines. Whether an earthquake fault is evident on the surface or hidden underground, faults are the most catastrophic failure mechanism for pipelines, although ground shaking, soil liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis also threaten the integrity of...

This book discusses management and engineering innovation with a particular emphasis on human resource management (HRM) and production engineering.
In an innovation context, the disciplines of management and engineering are linked to promote sustainable development, seeking cultural and geographical diversity in the studies of HRM and engineering, applications that can have a particular impact on organizational communications, change processes and work practices. This connection reflects the diversity of societal and infrastructural conditions.
The authors mainly analyze...

A fully comprehensive introduction to smart grid standards and their applications for developers, consumers and service providers

The critical role of standards for smart grid has already been realized by world-wide governments and industrial organizations. There are hundreds of standards for Smart Grid which have been developed in parallel by different organizations. It is therefore necessary to arrange those standards in such a way that it is easier for readers to easily understand and select a particular standard according to their requirements without going into...

Written by an expert with vast experience in the field, this book explores the smart grid from generation to consumption, both as it is planned today and how it will evolve tomorrow. The book focuses upon what differentiates the smart grid from the -traditional- power grid as it has been known for the last century. Furthermore, the author provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of both power systems and...
