Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning Comprehensive treatment of an aspect of stability constrained operations and planning, including the latest research and engineering practices Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning focuses on the subject of power system stability. Unlike other books in this field, which focus mainly on the dynamic modeling, stability analysis, and controller design for power systems, this book is instead dedicated to stability-constrained optimization methodologies for power system stability enhancement, including transient stability-constrained power system dispatch and operational c...
The Power of Artificial Intelligence for the Next-Generation Oil and Gas Industry Comprehensive resource describing how operations, outputs, and offerings of the oil and gas industry can improve via advancements in AI The Power of Artificial Intelligence for the Next-Generation Oil and Gas Industry describes the proven and promising digital technologies and tools available to empower the oil and gas industry to be future-ready. It shows how the widely reported limitations of the oil and gas industry are being nullified through the application of breakthrough digital technologies and how the convergence of digital technologies helps create new possibilities and opportunities to take this indu...
Practical Partial Discharge Measurement on Electrical Equipment Accessible reference dealing with (partial discharge) PD measurement in all types of high voltage equipment using modern digital PD detectors Practical Partial Discharge Measurement on Electrical Equipment is a timely update in the field of partial discharges (PD), covering both holistic concepts and specific modern applications in one volume. The first half of the book educates the reader on what PD is and the general principles of how it is measured and interpreted. The second half of the book is similar to a handbook, with a chapter devoted to PD measurements in each type of high voltage (HV) equipment. These chapters contain...
Microgrids Understand microgrids and networked microgrid systems Microgrids are interconnected groups of energy sources that operate together, capable of connecting with a larger grid or operating independently as needed and network conditions require. They can be valuable sources of energy for geographically circumscribed areas with highly targeted energy needs, and for remote or rural areas where continuous connection with a larger grid is difficult. Microgrids’ controllability makes them especially effective at incorporating renewable energy sources. Microgrids: Theory and Practice introduces readers to the analysis, design, and operation of microgrids and larger networked systems that ...
Interconnected Modern Multi-Energy Networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems A timely introduction to the revolutionary technologies reshaping the global energy market The search for more efficient and sustainable ways to meet society’s energy requirements has driven recent technological innovation on an unprecedented scale. The energy needs of a growing population coupled with concerns about climate change have posed unique challenges that necessitate novel energy technologies. The transition of modern energy grids towards multi-energy networks, or MENs, promises to be a fundamental transformation in the way we energize our world. Interconnected Modern Multi-Energy Networks and Inte...
This book summarizes the general concepts of the self-healing processes, starting with their occurrences in nature (plants, human skin, etc.) and leading to the most recent academic and industrial advances. It includes a detailed description and explanation of a wide range of materials and applications, such as polymeric, anticorrosion, smart paints, satellite coatings, etc. A particular emphasis will be given to the space environment (in terms of vacuum, thermal gradients, mechanical vibrations, space radiation, etc.). The book discusses the most recent and innovative results towards controlling the self-healing materials for the space debris mitigation. It concludes with a comprehensive outlook into the future developments and applications. An extensive survey of published papers and conference reports is also included.
The 1911 revolution in China sparked debates that politicized and divided Chinese communities in the United States. People in these communities affirmed traditional Chinese values and expressed their visions of a modern China, while nationalist feelings emboldened them to stand up for their rights as an integral part of American society. When Japan threatened the China's young republic, the Chinese response in the United States revealed the limits of Chinese nationalism and the emergence of a Chinese American identity. Shehong Chen investigates how Chinese immigrants to the United States transformed themselves into Chinese Americans during the crucial period between 1911 and 1927. Chen focus...
Three Heroes Swear Brotherhood In The Peach Garden; One Victory Shatters The Rebels In Battlegrounds. Domains under heaven, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide. This has been so since antiquity. When the rule of the Zhou Dynasty weakened, seven contending kingdoms sprang up, warring one with another until the kingdom of Qin prevailed and possessed the empire. But when Qin’s destiny had been fulfilled, arose two opposing kingdoms, Chu and Han, to fight for the mastery. And Han was the victor. The rise of the fortunes of Han began when Liu Bang the Supreme Ancestor slew a white serpent to raise the banners of uprising, which only end...
Shanghai's brothel is with the opening of the port and prosperity. Especially after the Taiping Army settled Jinling, east of Suzhou and Changzhou, south of Hangzhou, Suzhou and Zhejiang area of the rich families with money to Shanghai. Because Shanghai has a rental sector, the Taiping army also do not want to mess with, the rental sector is therefore unprecedented prosperity, so that it is difficult to find a house. The Chinese and foreign merchants who had the foresight to build their houses, sold or rented at a high price, and all of them made great profits. In addition, the Taiping Army banned prostitution, Suzhou, Changzhou, women have flocked to Shanghai, high-profile banner. The Bureau of Industry and Commerce of the Concession considered that the prostitution industry could not only generate a considerable amount of tax revenue, but also attract popularity, so it also strongly supported it.
The Chinese Hsinhai Revolution explores and explains for the first time the important role of G. E. Morrison in great power diplomacy in China from the end of the Russo-Japanese War to the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty. The work is based on a wide range of multinational scholarly sources and in order to develop the context in which Morrison carried out his personal diplomacy and to delineate the many-sided story into which Morrison has to be placed, Woodhouse has in addition to mining the very rich Morrison collection, drawn upon British, Japanese and American personal and official materials.
