Power Engineering

This text book presents a comprehensive picture for the economic aspects, feasibility and adaptability as well as modelling of alternative energy sources and their interconnections. The economic analysis for each mode of energy source is preceded by the introduction of the sources basic structural c..

We have used this book, manuscript form, as supplemental reading in our environmental engineering classes at Duke University. The discussion of ethics is usually reserved for the final few days of class, when the students should start asking ‘so what? about course material...

This book supplements the comprehensive coverage of high voltage engineering with solved examples followed by a set of problems...

With an emphasis on practical methods for computer analysis and design, this book thoroughly explains the basic principles of power system AGC systems. It presents frequency response models, intelligent structures, and mathematical algorithms, which are used to adapt artificial intelligent control t..

This book focuses on nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and their consequences, with the understanding that there are safety lessons to be learned if nuclear power generation is going to be expanded to meet our growing energy needs. The aim is to educate the reader on nuclear ..

This textbook introduces the fundamentals of renewable electrical power systems examining their direct relationships with the environment...

This book will be critical reading to all researchers and professionals in power system planning and engineering, electrical/power delivery, RES and control engineering. It will also be of interest to researchers in signal processing and telecommunications and renewable energy, as well as power syst..

This book is the proceedings of a workshop entitled Effects of Sewage Sludge Quality and Soil Properties on Plant Uptake of Sludge-Applied Trace Constituents, jointly sponsored by the U.S...

This book is offered as a practical primer on the hydrometallurgy of nonferrous metal reclamation from industrial wastes, as well as a brief discussion of pyrometallurgy, biological, and other separation processes. It acquaints nontechnical readers with the subject and provides a survey of current r..

This book provides a precise understanding of the design, manufacture, installation, and testing of a range of electric power cables—from low-voltage, 1,000/1,100V cables to extra-high-voltage, 400kV cables—with reference to future trends in the industry. Throughout, the authors emphasise consonance..

Covers the nature and operating characteristics of electronic devices for first and second year students. This edition has been expanded to include updated material on the original topics and to present a new chapter on power supplies and an analysis of microcomputer applications...
