The Energy Problem Energy Resources: Availability, Management, and Environmental Impacts identifies historical increases in demand and a continuing lack of viable management policies for regional and global energy problems. Considering the state and consumption of energy resourc…
Scope and content: "Covering the fundamentals of enzymatic fuel cells as well as their design, optimization, integration, and future trends, Enzymatic Fuel Cells provides practical applications of enzymatic fuel cells, including their use in biomedical applications and as power …
Meeting global energy demand in a sustainable fashion will require not only increased energy efficiency and new methods of using existing carbon-based fuels but also a daunting amount of new carbon-neutral energy. The goal of Solar Impulse is grand: to fly both night and day rel…
Of the "big three" components of electrical infrastructure, distribution typically gets the least attention. In fact, a thorough, up-to-date treatment of the subject hasn't been published in years, yet deregulation and technical changes have increased the need for better informa…
Preface Power electronics represents a branch of electronics dedicated to the controlled conversion of electrical energy. This conversion includes adaptation of power to diverse applications such as voltage or current power sources, electrical drives, active filtering in power s…
The third book in the Getenergy Guides series, The Evolution of Four Energy Nations considers how four very different countries have evolved as oil and gas-producing nations and how the interventions of government, industry and the education and training sector have addressed wo…
An ideal power system operation is the pinnacle of safety, reliability, and efficiency. In Practical Power System Operation, author Ebrahim Vaahedi addresses system operators' viewpoints in handling power system operation issues, a holistic approach that electrical textbooks rar…
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can br…
The book is written as primer hand book for addressing the fundamentals of smart grid. It provides the working definition the functions, the design criteria and the tools and techniques and technology needed for building smart grid. The book is needed to provide a working guidel…
