This book addresses a broad category of power system engineers. The editor's previous book,Handbook of Power Electrical Systems Dynamics: Modeling, Stability, and Controlexplained the background, caus
This book provides a broad perspective of vacuum switchgear drawn from the author's many years of experience in this field. Allan Greenwood describes the development of the technology from the earlies
Documents the role of the West's international broadcasters, such as Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the BBC World Service, in using propaganda and other information to assist in bringing ab
This book presents the twin topics of singular perturbation methods and time scale analysis to problems in systems and control. The heart of the book is the singularly perturbed optimal control syste
A thorough theoretical and mathematical treatment of the principles underlying both induction and conduction heating, though the discussion of practical aspects fills nearly half the book. The emphasi
While classroom learning is suited for conveying basic information to large numbers of people, Hoag (Engine Research Center, U. of Wisconsin at Madison) argues that continuing education for engineers
Few power systems are isolated from the effects of high voltage DC transmission, and this technology figures prominently in their planning and operation. This new text, written by one of the world's l
John Logie Baird, Britain's foremost television pioneer, experimented with video recording onto gramophone discs in the late 1920s. Though unsuccessful at the time, his experiments resulted in several
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
SF 6 is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic gas (down to -20 degrees C) which has nearly ideal properties as an arc-quenching medium. Ryan and Jones (electrical engineering, Sunderland Polytec
Provides a broad coverage of the polynomial equation approach in a range of linear control and filtering problems. The principal feature of this approach is the description of systems in fractional fo
Since the first edition of this book in 1983, HVDC technology has continued to develop and few power systems can now escape its influence. Fully revised, updated and expanded, this second edition buil
Covers all the elements of electricity economics and planning, both for the traditional approach and for the new developments of the 1990s, e.g. privatization, competition, deregulation, and more effi
This book explains the hazards associated with electricity in its many forms, including electromagnetic radiation. It describes methods of reducing risks to health and to the environment, giving rules
For electrical engineers, considers the creation and maintenance of a power supply that will not cause the loss of data or damage to sensitive equipment (particularly computers) by taking a break or g
Electrical engineers from several universities in seven European countries share knowledge about electrical power systems that reflects the experience and tradition in that school. In sections on powe
A valuable study tool for students and a solid reference for professionals, Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning presents a review of power theories and shows that the ins
This book contains the diary he kept from 1939 until 1945, recording work in the laboratories and his own wider role in the planning and organisation of the scientific war effort, against the backgrou
This book records the growth of telegraphy over two centuries, depicting the discoveries and ingenuity of the experimenters and engineers involved, the equipment they designed and built, and the organ
The book is composed of 12 chapters and three appendices, and can be divided into four parts. The first part includes Chapters 2 to 7, which discuss the concepts, models, methods and data in probabili
