Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases-and wind energy is a free, renewable resource. However, the induction machines commonly used as wind generators have stability problems similar to the transient stability of synchronous machines. To minimize power, frequency, and voltage fluctuations caused by network faults or random wind speed variations, control mechanisms are necessary. Wind Energy Systems: Solutions for Power Quality and Stabilization clearly explains how to solve stability and power quality issues of wind...

There is a lot of misunderstanding about the impact of DG on the power grid, with one side (including mainly some but certainly not all, network companies) claiming that the...

Our existing electric utility industry and power supply and delivery systems are woefully outdated. Indeed, the existing power grid we use today uses 100-year-old technology This book lays out the possible blueprints for a greener future in a way that will engage middle school learners, enabling students and teachers to explore the emerging energy technologies that could become the future of our electrical supply system.

In Part 1 of "Green Electricity: 25 Green Technologies That Will Electrify Your Future," the author describes the amazing patchwork of 1,300 power plants and over 5...

A translation of a successful Russian monograph, this is the first book dealing comprehensively and on a scientific level with the insulation of high-voltage electrophysical systems. Prof. Ushakov is a respected authority in this field.

Autonomous systems are one of the most important trends for the next generation of control systems. This book is the first to transfer autonomous systems concepts and intelligent agents theory into the control and operation environment of power systems.

Sustainable development is the key for the survival in 21st century. The natural resources are finite and cannot be used with impunity because we are the custodian of these resources and have responsibility to pass these to the next generation. This monumental task requires several major commitments and most important of them is to arrest population explosion which has already reached seven billion. Natural resources like air to breath, food to eat, and water to drink, and fossil fuel to maintain this life style are being overexploited. Unrestrained consuming culture will accelerate...

Das Buch behandelt die physikalischen und physiologischen Grundlagen der Technischen Akustik, Probleme der Maschinen- und Raumakustik sowie die akustische Messtechnik. Breiten Raum nehmen Fragen der Schallentstehung, der Luft- und Korperschallausbreitung sowie der Larmminderung ein, wie sie etwa im Schienen- und Strassenverkehr auftreten. Die Beitrage sind gegenuber der Vorauflage grundlich uberarbeitet und erweitert worden. Das Buch schildert damit nicht nur den aktuellen Stand der Technischen Akustik, sondern ist auch Hilfe und Anleitung fur Ingenieure zur Bewaltigung akustischer...
