Important factor in political decision-making is a public opinion as well. Therefore, it is very important to raise global ecological awareness and wider public education regarding ecology. Goal of this book is to bring closer to the readers new drive technologies that are intended to environment and nature protection. The book presents modern technique achievements and technologies applied in the implementation of electric vehicles. Special attention was paid to energy efficiency of EV's. Also today's trends, mathematical models and computer design elements of future cars are presented.
New perspectives on using induction generators in alternative energy technologies Durable and cost-effective, induction power generators have undergone numerous improvements that make them an increasingly attractive option for renewable energy applications, particularly for wind and hydropower generation systems. From fundamental concepts to the latest technologies, Alternative Energy Systems: Design and Analysis with Induction Generators, Second Edition provides detailed and accurate coverage of all aspects related to the design, operation, and overall analysis of such systems. Placing a greater emphasis on providing clear, precise, and succinct explanations, this second edition features ne...
Internal combustion engines have contributed at a large scale in the development of transportation, power generation and energy. The industries that develop and manufacture internal combustion engines, and support their use play a dominant role on country’s economy. The new edition includes the coverage of electric vehicles along with engine theory, cycle analysis, all auxiliaries’ systems, modern developments, measurements, testing and performance, air pollution, modeling and design of major parts of internal combustion engines with a large number of typical solved problems. The depth, richness, emphasis on fundamentals, creativity, innovative approach and judge-ment enhancement capabilities are the strength of the book. Internal combustion engines form a core course and backbone for the students of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. This book will serve as textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
We may be standing on the precipice of a revolution in propulsion not seen since the internal combustion engine replaced the horse and buggy. The anticipated proliferation of electric cars will influence the daily lives of motorists, the economies of different countries and regions, urban air quality and global climate change. If you want to understand how quickly the transition is likely to occur, and the factors that will influence the predictions of the pace of the transition, this book will be an illuminating read.
From the fan motor in your PC to precision control of aircraft, electrical machines of all sizes, varieties, and levels of complexity permeate our world. Some are very simple, while others require exacting and application-specific design. Electrical Machine Analysis Using Finite Elements provides the tools necessary for the analysis and design of any type of electrical machine by integrating mathematical/numerical techniques with analytical and design methodologies. Building successively from simple to complex analyses, this book leads you step-by-step through the procedures and illustrates their implementation with examples of both traditional and innovative machines. Although the examples ...
In recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the transformation of academic research at universities into the development of advanced technologies in industry, therefore enabling a full role of the university as a center of knowledge-creation.University-Industry Collaboration and the Success Mechanism of Collaboration presents recent developments in university-industry-collaborations, using case studies from Japan, and showing the mutual needs from both universities and enterprises in the knowledge-based society. Technical topics discussed in this book include: • Development of University-Industry Collaboration (UIC) in the world• Development of UIC in Japan• Case studies of UIC in Japan• Contribution of UIC from Japan to the world
The current model for electricity generation and distribution is dominated by centralized power plants which are typically associated with combustion (coal, oil, and natural gas) or nuclear generation units. These power models require distribution from the center to outlying consumers and have many disadvantages concerning the electric utilities, transmission and distribution, and greenhouse gas emissions. This resulted in the modelling and development of cleaner renewable power generation with alternative sources such as photovoltaic (PV), wind, and other sources. Further, due to matured PV technology, constant drop-in installation cost, greenhouse emissions reductions, energy efficiency, r...
