This title presents a balanced blend between classical and intelligent load frequency control techniques, which is detrminant for continous supply of power loads. The classical control techniques introduced in this book include PID, pole placement, observer-based state feedback, static and dynamic output feedback controllers while the intelligent control techniques explained here are of adaptive fuzzy control types. This book will analyze and design different decentralized LF controllers in order to maintain the frequency deviations of each power area within the limits and keep the...

The unfortunate and serious accident at the nuclear power plants in Fukushima, Japan caused by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 dealt Japan a serious blow. Japan was nearly deprived of electric power when in response to the accident all nuclear reactors in Japan were shut down. This shortage further accelerated the introduction of renewable energies. This book surveys the new materials and approaches needed to use nanotechnology to introduce the next generation of advanced lithium batteries, currently the most promising energy storage devices available. It provides an overview of...

UHV Transmission Technology enables power system employees and the vast majority of those caring for UHV transmission technology to understand and master key technologies of UHV transmission. This book can be used as a technical reference and guide for future UHV projects.

UHV transmission has many advantages for new power networks due to its capacity, long distance potential, high efficiency and low loss. Development of UHV transmission technology is led by infrastructure development and renewal, as well as smart grid developments, which can use UHV power networks as the...

Synthetic Biology is already an object of intensive debate. However, to a great extent the discussion to date has been concerned with fundamental ethical, religious and philosophical questions. By contrast, based on an investigation of the field's scientific and technological character, this book focuses on new functionalities provided by synthetic biology and explores the associated opportunities and risks. Following an introduction to the subject and a discussion of the most central paradigms and methodologies, the book provides an overview of the structure of this field of science and...

Dieses etablierte Lehrbuch der Technischen Thermodynamik liegt, nach grundlegender Uberarbeitung, in der 16. Auflage vor. Es bietet eine grundliche Einfuhrung in die Thermodynamik und ihre technischen Anwendungen in der Energie- und Verfahrenstechnik.

Der Schwerpunkt dieses Lehrbuchs liegt in der verstandlichen Darstellung der durch den ersten und zweiten Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik gegebenen Grundlagen. Die hierauf aufbauenden Energie- und Entropiebilanzgleichungen ermoglichen die energetische und exergetische Analyse von Prozessen und Zustandsanderungen. Daher sind Energie und...

This book holds the proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Advance in Energy and Environment Research (ICAEER 2016), which was held on August 12-14, 2016 in Guangzhou, China.
ICAEER 2016 brought together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of energy and environment research to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference was to promote research and developmental activities in energy and environment research and another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners...
