Why did an electricity market emerge? How does it really work? What are the perfor-
mance measures that we can use to tell that the electricity market under consideration
is well functioning? These are the questions that will be explored in this book. The
main purpose of this book is to introduce th ...
For more than a century, overhead lines have been the most commonly used
technology for transmitting electrical energy at all voltage levels, especially on the
highest levels. However, in recent years, an increase in both the number and length
of HVAC cables in the transmission networks of different ...
Power Electronics is one of modern and key technologies in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering for green power, sustainable energy systems, and smart
grids. Especially, the transformation of existing electric power systems into smart
grids is currently a global trend. The gradual increase of dist ...
A power semiconductor module is basically a power circuit of different
materials assembled together using hybrid technology, such as semiconduc-
tor chip attachment, wire bonding, encapsulation, etc. The materials
involved cover a wide range from insulators, conductors, and semiconduc-
tors to organ ...
The electrical power grid is often referred to as one of the most complex man-
made systems on Earth. Its importance to all aspects of our daily lives, economic
stability, and national security cannot be overstated, and the need for an updated,
secure, resilient, and smarter power grid infrastructur ...
Today, electric power transmission systems should face many demanding chal-
lenges, which include balancing between reliability, economics, environmental,
and other social objectives to optimize the grid assets and satisfy the growing
electrical demand.
Moreover, the operational environment of trans ...
RFID Applied is just that. It’s about the application of RFID. If you want a
book about electrical and computer engineering you need another source.
Let’s say that you have been asked to lead an effort at your company to
use RFID in your supply chain. You have heard about RFID because so
much has ...
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS , THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE WE COULDN ’ T FIND ONE LIKE IT . We
needed something to hand to all of those people who have come to us asking for “a good
book to read on RFID.” When we looked for candidates we found some great books, but
most were aimed at electrical engineer ...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification systems
which has gained popularity in recent years for being fast and reliable in keeping
track of the individual objects. In RFID systems, contactless object identification
is achieved using radio signals without the need ...
In the early days, embedded systems were built primarily by engineers in a
pretty exclusive club. Embedded devices and software tools were expensive,
and building a functional prototype required significant software engineering
and electrical engineering experience.
