This second volume of proceedings of the International Conference on Regional Science, Energy and Environment (Louvain, May 1975) contains papers related to general and partial equilibrium models of regional and urban development, in which natural and human resources playa dominant role.
Composite insulators have been in service in electric power networks successfully for more than 40 years, and now up to the highest operating voltages.
Several emerging application areas are driving a revival in nuclear engineering, including new nuclear reactor designs (advanced water-cooled reactors, small modular reactors, and microreactors) and their various applications beyond electricity production and a revolution in nuclear medicine, nuclear space exploration, hydrogen production, and homeland security.
Dieses Buch untersucht das Potenzial von magnetischen Supraleitern in Speichersystemen, wobei der Fokus auf supraleitenden magnetischen Energiespeichersystemen (SMES) liegt und das spanische Stromnetz, das von Red Electrica de Espana (REE) kontrolliert wird, als Beispiel dient.
This book covers several cutting-edge topics and provides a direct follow-up to former publications such as "e;Intent-based Networking"e; and "e;Emerging Networking"e;, bringing together the latest network technologies and advanced AI applications.
Control of Robot Manipulators in Joint Space addresses robot control in depth, treating a range of model-based controllers in detail: proportional derivative; proportional integral derivative; computed torque and some adaptive variants.
Although nonlinear control is traditionally an area of interest in process systems engineering which is of great practical importance, many process engineers have difficulty with the paradigms and results of modern nonlinear control theory because they lack the mathematical background usually associated with such methods or because of their computational difficulty and small-scale applicability in the general case.
Although conventional cogeneration systems have been used successfully in the last two decades, most of them have been large units using mainly hydrocarbon fuels that are becoming increasingly expensive.
Fossil fuels are widely used for electricity generation and heating, creating greenhouse gas emissions and other toxic pollutants, which should be minimised according to the most recent environmental legislation.
"e;EHV AC Undergrounding Electrical Power"e; discusses methods of analysis for cable performance and for the behaviour of cable, mixed and overhead lines.
"e;Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in PEM Fuel Cells"e; discusses one of the most powerful and useful diagnostic tools for various aspects of the study of fuel cells: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
Model Predictive Control System Design and Implementation Using MATLAB(R) proposes methods for design and implementation of MPC systems using basis functions that confer the following advantages: - continuous- and discrete-time MPC problems solved in similar design frameworks; - a parsimonious parametric representation of the control trajectory gives rise to computationally efficient algorithms and better on-line performance; and - a more general discrete-time representation of MPC design that becomes identical to the traditional approach for an appropriate choice of parameters.
Spotlight on Modern Transformer Design introduces a novel approach to transformer design using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in combination with finite element method (FEM).
"e;Reliability and Risk Issues in Large Scale Safety-critical Digital Control Systems"e; provides a comprehensive coverage of reliability issues and their corresponding countermeasures in the field of large-scale digital control systems, from the hardware and software in digital systems to the human operators who supervise the overall process of large-scale systems.
