Performance of DFIG and PMSG Wind Turbines

Performance of DFIG and PMSG Wind Turbines

Due to environmental pollution and climate change the use of renewable energy sources as an alternative means of power generation is on the rise globally. This is because of their clean nature which makes them ecofriendly with little or no pollution compared to the traditional fossil fuel power-generation power plants. Among the various renewable energy sources wind energy is one of the most widely employed due to its promising technology. Wind turbine technologies could be classified into two groups as follows: Fixed Speed Wind Turbines (FSWTs) and Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWTs). There have been tremendous improvements in wind turbine technology over the years from FSWTs to VSWTs as a result of fast innovations and advanced developments in power electronics. Thus the VSWTs have better wind energy capture and conversion efficiencies less acoustic noise and mechanical stress and better power quality in power grids without support from external reactive power compensators due to the stochastic nature of wind energy. The two most widely employed VSWTs in wind farm development are the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) wind turbines. In order to solve transient stability intricacies during power grid faults this book proposes different control strategies for the DFIG and PMSG wind turbines. | Performance of DFIG and PMSG Wind Turbines

The Science of Composting

The Science of Composting

FROM THE PREFACEThe main objective of composting is to transform organic materials into a stable usable product. Often organic materials which may have limited beneficial use in their raw state or have regulatory disposal constraints can be transformed by composting into marketable products. The limits on beneficial reuse may be regulations or they may be due to the potential for materials to be putrescible or pathogenic. Composting can be a solution for each of these. The implementation of composting on a large scale (in contrast to home or backyard composting) involves materials handling. Technological implementation of composting must be consistent with the biological demand of the system. If the biological system is violated conditions will not be optimized for composting and problems such as odor generation insufficient aeration or moisture or a combination of these conditions may result. Past problems and closure of facilities have been largely due to violations of the biological systems. Product quality with respect to particle size inclusions moisture content and other physical aspects are a function of engineering design. A well designed system must have the biological and engineering principles in harmony at all times. | The Science of Composting

Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

The world water problems are a due to bad governance not to physical water scarcity. This book is inspired by this statement and explores whether it holds in a specific country Spain where climatic conditions – Spain is one of the most arid countries of the European Union - would fully justify saying that water problems are due to physical water scarcity. The metrification of water uses and their monetary value is a first important step in understanding how reallocation of water among users could help mitigating many of current water problems in Spain. However water reallocation among users or from users to nature is far from simple. Initiatives portrayed as the solution to the water governance ‘jigsaw’ – e. g. water trade improved water use efficiency users collective action public participation – are not free of difficulties and shortcomings. The book explores the growing need for maintaining Spain’s natural capital and the human component of water governance – people’s needs wishes (vested) interests aspirations – that often determine the result of decisions and sometimes lead water management to a deadlock. This book takes a step forward in showing a more complex - and also closer to reality - picture of water governance in Spain. | Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

Aspects of Anomalous Transport in Plasmas

Aspects of Anomalous Transport in Plasmas

Anomalous transport is a ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical geophysical and laboratory plasmas; and is a key topic in controlled nuclear fusion research. Despite its fundamental importance and ongoing research interest a full understanding of anomalous transport in plasmas is still incomplete due to the complexity of the nonlinear phenomena involved. Aspects in Anomalous Transport in Plasmas is the first book to systematically consider anomalous plasma transport theory and provides a unification of the many theoretical models by emphasizing interrelations between seemingly different methodologies. It is not intended as a catalogue of the vast number of plasma instabilities leading to anomalous transport; instead it chooses a number of these and emphasizes the aspects specifically due to turbulence. After a brief introduction the microscopic theory of turbulence is discussed including quasilinear theory and various aspects of renormalization methods which leads to an understanding of resonance broadening mode coupling trajectory correlation and clumps. The second half of the book is devoted to stochiastic tramsport using methods based on the Langevin equations and on Random Walk theory. This treatment aims at going beyond the traditional limits of weak turbulence by introducing the recently developed method of decorrelation trajectories and its application to electrostatic turbulence magnetic turbulence and zonal flow generation. The final chapter includes very recent work on the nonlocal transport phenomenon. | Aspects of Anomalous Transport in Plasmas

Regularized Image Reconstruction in Parallel MRI with MATLAB

Regularized Image Reconstruction in Parallel MRI with MATLAB

Regularization becomes an integral part of the reconstruction process in accelerated parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) due to the need for utilizing the most discriminative information in the form of parsimonious models to generate high quality images with reduced noise and artifacts. Apart from providing a detailed overview and implementation details of various pMRI reconstruction methods Regularized image reconstruction in parallel MRI with MATLAB examples interprets regularized image reconstruction in pMRI as a means to effectively control the balance between two specific types of error signals to either improve the accuracy in estimation of missing samples or speed up the estimation process. The first type corresponds to the modeling error between acquired and their estimated values. The second type arises due to the perturbation of k-space values in autocalibration methods or sparse approximation in the compressed sensing based reconstruction model. Features: Provides details for optimizing regularization parameters in each type of reconstruction. Presents comparison of regularization approaches for each type of pMRI reconstruction. Includes discussion of case studies using clinically acquired data. MATLAB codes are provided for each reconstruction type. Contains method-wise description of adapting regularization to optimize speed and accuracy. This book serves as a reference material for researchers and students involved in development of pMRI reconstruction methods. Industry practitioners concerned with how to apply regularization in pMRI reconstruction will find this book most useful.
