With the growing attention to the exploitation of renewable energies and heat recovery from industrial processes, the traditional steam and gas cycles are showing themselves often inadequate. The inadequacy is due to the great assortment of the required sizes power and of the large kind of heat sources. Closed Power Cycles: Thermodynamic Fundamentals and Applications offers an organized discussion about the strong interaction between working fluids, the thermodynamic behavior of the cycle using them and the technological design aspects of the machines.

A precise treatment of...

This book presents a cross-disciplinary approach to smart grids, offering an invaluable basis for understanding their complexity and potential, and for discussing their technical, legal, economic, societal, psychological and security aspects.
Smart grids are a complex phenomenon involving new, active roles for consumers and prosumers, novel social, political and cultural practices, advanced ICT, new markets, security of supply issues, the informational turn in energy, valuation of assets and investments, technological innovation and (de)regulation. Furthermore, smart grids offer new...

This book contains a novel combination of experimental and model-based investigations, elucidating the complex processes inside zinc air batteries. The work presented helps to answer which battery composition and which air-composition should be adjusted to maintain stable and efficient charge/discharge cycling. In detail, electrochemical investigations and X-ray transmission tomography are applied on button cell zinc air batteries and in-house set-ups. Moreover, model-based investigations of the battery anode and the impact of relative humidity, active operation, carbon dioxide and oxygen...

Electrical drives consist of a number of components, the electrical machine, converter and controller, all of which are discussed at various levels. A brief resume of magnetic and electrical circuit principles is given in chapter 1 together with a set of generic building modules which are used throughout this book to represent dynamic models. Chapter 2 is designed to familiarize the reader with the process of building a dynamic model of a coil with the aid of generic modules. This part of the text also contains an introduction on phasors as required for steady state analysis. The approach...

This book presents the research and development results on power systems oscillations in three categories of analytical methods. First is damping torque analysis which was proposed in 1960's, further developed between 1980-1990, and widely used in industry. Second is modal analysis which developed between the 1980's and 1990's as the most powerful method. Finally the linearized equal-area criterion analysis that is proposed and developed recently. The book covers three main types of controllers: Power System Stabilizer (PSS), FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) stabilizer, and ESS...

Heinz Herwig vermittelt eine klare Vorstellung davon, was Energie aus physikalischer Sicht ist und in welchen Formen sie auftreten kann. Es werden grundlegende mechanische, vor allem aber auch thermodynamische Zusammenhange erlautert, bevor an konkreten Beispielen (Warmeubergang, GuD-Kraftwerke, Warmepumpen) gezeigt wird, wie mit Energie verantwortlich umgegangen werden kann, wie Energie richtig bewertet und sinnvoll genutzt werden sollte. Im Zuge dieser Erlauterungen wird der Exergie-Begriff eingefuhrt und ausfuhrlich behandelt. Mit diesem Begriff kann die Qualitat von Energie sehr...
