During the last decade many new concepts have been proposed for improving the performance of power MOSFETs. The results of this research are dispersed in the technical literature among journal articles and abstracts of conferences. Consequently, the information is not readily available to researchers and practicing engineers in the power device community. There is no cohesive treatment of the ideas to provide an assessment of the relative merits of the ideas.

"Advanced Power MOSFET Concepts" provides an in-depth treatment of the physics of operation of advanced power MOSFETs....

Fully updated, Electrical Power Cable Engineering, Third Edition again concentrates on the remarkably complex design, application, and preparation methods required to terminate and splice cables. This latest addition to the CRC Press Power Engineering series covers cutting-edge methods for design, manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance of reliable power cable systems. It is based largely on feedback from experienced university lecturers who have taught courses on these very concepts.

The book emphasizes methods to optimize...

Robust Control in Power Systems deals with the applications of new techniques in linear system theory to control low frequency oscillations in power systems. The book specifically focuses on the analysis and damping of inter-area oscillations in the systems which are in the range of 0.2-1 Hz. The damping control action is injected through high power electronic devices known as flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers. Three commonly used FACTS controllers: controllable series capacitors (CSCs) controllable phase shifters (CPSs) and static var compensators (SVCs)...

Presenting the continuation and bifurcation-based approaches to assess power system voltage stability, this self-contained manual first provides basic definitions related to voltage stability based on IEEE/CIGRE voltage stability classification. Then the need for robust numerical techniques that are needed to address various aspects of voltage instability is articulated. It presents a tutorial introduction to the basic concepts in bifurcation theory and continuation methods. These methods lead to robust numerical techniques for voltage stability study. The book also provides details...

This useful reference allows readers to compare and learn from best-practice and up-to-date information in this exciting field from Europe, the US and Australia. It shows how to overcome day-to-day and strategic engineering problems, rather than concentrating on policy and market-structural issues.

While the basic operating principles of Helical Magnetic Flux Compression Generators are easy to understand, the details of their construction and performance limits have been described only in government reports, many of them classified. Conferences in the field of flux compression are also dominated by contributions from government (US and foreign) laboratories. And the government-sponsored research has usually been concerned with very large generators with explosive charges that require elaborate facilities and safety arrangements. This book emphasizes research into small generators...

Durch die Energieeinsparungsverordnung und die hierzu verabschiedeten Rechtsverordnungen und Normen wurden sowohl fur den Hochbau als auch fur die Bauphysik und Gebaudetechnik eine Reihe von Berechnungsanweisungen veroffentlicht, die Energie und Kosten einsparen sollen. Der Warmeschutz an Gebauden hat wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Heizlast. Architekten, Bauingenieure, Planer und Fachingenieure werden mit den neuen Berechnungen und Anforderungen zum Warmeschutz vertraut gemacht.

Das Buch gibt eine umfassende Information uber die Auswirkungen und Bestimmungen in den Normen des...

Fuel Cell Micro-grids describes an energy supply method based on a network of two or more proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM-FC). Such a network enables the effective use of exhaust heat, the simplification of the transmission network, the possibility of backup during disruptive hazards and the consideration of regional factors. Furthermore, green energy and renewable energy systems can be connected to the network, to function in cooperation with the fuel cells. For these reasons, it is believed that an increasing number of applications will make use of such fuel cell energy...

Power electronics systems are physical devices that can be modelled mathematically as controlled dynamical systems. This makes them suitable for the application of existing control theory, particularly in the design of their regulatory subsystems. For years there has been a perceived need to bring the disciplines of power electronics and theoretical control into closer co-operation, demonstrating the potentially great advantages of, at first sight, rather obscure control theory to power specialists while making control technicians better aware of the fundamental needs and limitations of...
