Power Electrical Systems are an indespensable feature of the exploitation and diagnostics of elecrical machines and energy resources. The Volume presents extended and peer reviewed papers from the international conference on PES in Barcelona, 2014. Among the topics dealt with are: electrical machines design, voltage and control, automotive power drives, electromagnetic compatibility, monitoring and diagnostics, renewable energy systems. The International Conference on Power Electrical Systems (PES) is a forum for researchers and specialists in different fields of electrical engineering related to Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES); Power Electronics in Renewable Energy Systems; Topologies and Control of Power Electronics Converters Used in Renewable Energy Systems; Electric machines modelling and control; Automotive electrical systems; Electric machine design; Monitoring and diagnostics; Special machines; Power systems; Power electronic converters; Renewable energy systems; Variable speed drives; Electromagnetic compatibility; Variable speed generating systems; Transformers.
The book elaborates selected, extended and peer reviewed papers on Communication and Signal Proceesing. As Vol. 8 of the series on "Advances on Signals, Systems and Devices" it presents main topics such as: content based video retrieval, wireless communication systems, biometry and medical imaging, adaptive and smart antennae.
Since the early 2000s, energy and environmental issues have led to a marked increase in electricity production from renewable energy sources. Sustainable development and concern for future generations constantly challenge us to develop new technologies for energy production, as well as new energy usage patterns. Their rapid emergence can make these new technologies difficult to understand and can thus affect perceptions. Directed towards a broad audience, this book contributes to a better understanding of new electricity generation technologies. It presents the issues, sources and means of conversion using a general approach, while developing scientific concepts to understand their main technical characteristics. This revised and extended second edition presents current data characterizing the development of these renewable energy sources, covering emerging photovoltaic and tidal technologies, offshore wind power, and recent developments on the integration of these sources into the electricity grid. The emergence of self-production and self-consumption is also addressed. In addition, several exercises provide the reader with an opportunity to evaluate their understanding.
This book deals with the emerging generation of renewable energy technologies, covering solar energy (photovoltaic, thermal and thermodynamic energy conversion), wind energy, marine energy, small hydropower, geothermal energy, biofuels, biogas and the use of wood as a substitute for fossil fuels.
The fifth volume of the Series Advances in Systems, Signals and Devices, is dedicated to fields related to Systems, Automation and Control.

Distribution systems drive energy and societal transition. System planning enables investments to be made in the right place, at the right time and with the right technology. Distribution System Planning is centered on the evolution of planning methods that will best support this transition, and describes the historical context and concepts that enable planning, its challenges and key influencing factors to be grasped. It also analyzes the impact of the development of renewable and decentralized energy resources, government recommendations and distributor initiatives to promote their integration. Through the use of case studies, this book provides examples of how planning methodologies have evolved, as well as an overview of new and emerging solutions.
Power Systems & Smart Energies (PSE) is dedicated to the design, modeling, exploitation and diagnostics of electrical power systems and renewable energy sources. It covers topics in the area of power electrical engineering including, power electronic systems, power electronic converters, electrical machine design, monitoring and diagnostics, renewable energy systems, automotive power systems, smart grids, and distribution networks.
Marine resources and their exploitation, recovery and economic networks they generate are here from the perspective now inevitable growing environmental constraints, policy management and technical innovation. A historical perspective shows that Ocean and its adjacent seas at all times, allowed coastal communities to adapt to a very volatile environment through many technological changes. The recent development of marine biotechnology , the discovery of a great pharmacopoeia especially in reef environments , the development of marine renewables , are examples which show that man can develop through these new technologies property and services of the ocean. But this development resources under pressure of global change requires not only taking into account technical, but also social and political. This is the price that the analysis of maritime activities will assess the sustainability and development of various economic sectors and coastal populations, faced with the objectives of a "blue growth" associated with a return to the "good state "of the marine environment.
Our transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable future has seen an increase in the use of electrical energy in the functioning of our society. This implies the need to develop tools and methods which allow us to study electromagnetic devices and ensure their functioning for as long as possible. This requires us to use these tools to understand their behavior, not just as one component, but also in the entire systems in which they can be found, throughout their life cycle. This book provides electrical engineering students and researchers with the resources to analyze how synchronous machines behave over their entire field of operation, particularly focusing on hybrid excited synchronous machines (HESMs). The field of HESMs, although not a fundamental problem in the strict sense of the term, provides answers to a range of fundamental problems: the flux weakening of permanent magnet machines, energy optimization, and lastly the increasing costs of rare-earths permanent magnets.
