This book is intended for researchers, teachers, and students willing to ex-
plore conceptual bridges between the fields of Automatic Control and Power
Electronics. The need to bring the two disciplines closer has been felt, for
many years, both by Power Electronics specialists and by Automatic Cont ...
The first edition of the book was one of the elements of my habilitation (a quali-
fication above a Ph.D., which is a necessary step for obtaining the title of a
professor in Poland and other European countries), and as a result it was subse-
quently very carefully reviewed by four reviewers. The ha ...
This book is written for engineers involved in the operation, control, and
planning of electric power systems. In addition, the book provides information and
tools for researchers working in the fields of power system security and stability. The
book consists of two volumes. The first volume provide ...
Electric distribution networks are critical parts of power delivery systems. In recent
years, many new technologies and distributed energy resources have been inte-
grated into these networks. To provide electricity at the possible lowest cost and at
required quality, long-term planning is essential ...
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 ...
The solid high-polymer-film-type fuel cell (PEM-FC) system is used as the power
supply equipment for transportation and replaces an internal combustion engine. A
reduction of the environmental load is expected through the cogeneration system’s
(CGS) use of the PEM-FC system as a distributed power s ...
GaN is an already well implanted semiconductor
technology, widely diffused in the LED optoelectronics
industry. For about 10 years, GaN devices have also been
developed for RF wireless applications where they can
replace Silicon transistors in some selected systems. That
incursion in the RF field ha ...
A revolution in power industries, including generation, transmission and distribution, driven by
environmental and economic considerations, is taking place all over the world. The smart grid allows for
integration of diverse generation and storage options, reduced losses, improved efficiencies, incr ...
The use of renewable energy systems, such as wind power, hydropower, tidal
power, solar power, geothermal power and biomass burn is growing. Research in
electric power generation from renewable sources is continuously expanding and
stands for an area of high technological and financial importance. T ...
