Resource allocation is an important issue in wireless communication networks. In
recent decades, cognitive radio technology and cognitive radio-based networks have
obtained more and more attention and have been well studied to improve spectrum
utilization and to overcomethe problem of spectrum scarc ...
Battery systems for energy storage are among the most relevant technologies of the
21 st century. They – in particular modern lithium-ion batteries (LIB) – are enablers
for the market success of electric vehicles (EV) as well as for stationary energy
storage solutions for balancing fluctuations in ...
This book deals with a very important problem in power system planning
for countries in which hydrogeneration accounts for the greatest part of the
system power production. During the past thirty years many techniques
have been developed to cope with the long-term opera ...
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 ...
n present power system, the engineers face variety of challenges in
planning, construction and operation. In some of the problems, the engineers need
to use managerial talents. In system design or upgrading the entire system into
automatic control instead of slow response of human operator, the engi ...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is gaining in popularity, especially
as we find ourselves in this communications age and headed towards a
ubiquitous computing world. Automatic identification systems become
an important aspect not just in today’s technology but also as part of our
daily life. ...
In this new edition of the book, only minor changes were made to the original
nine chapters but three new chapters treat topics of increasing interest to GPS
users and equipment developers. One topic, improving the GPS receiver sensi-
tivity may extend their operations into buildings, which is becom ...
Since OpenStreetMap (OSM) appeared more than ten years ago, new
collaborative mapping approaches have emerged in different areas and have become
important components of localised information and services based on localisation.
There is now increased awareness of the importance of the space-time attr ...
Control systems are becoming more important every day. At the beginning, the in-
dustry used sequential controls for solving a lot of industrial applications in control
systems, and then the linear systems gave us a huge increase in applying automatic
linear control on industrial application. One of ...
There exist two essentially different approaches to the study of dynamical systems, based on
the following distinction:
time-continuous nonlinear differential equations ⇋ time-discrete maps
One approach starts from time-continuous differential equations and leads to time-discrete
maps, which are ob ...
