Electrical Distribution Systems

First published in 2009. Comprehensive in scope this book now in its fully updated second edition takes an applications-oriented approach to electrical distribution systems. All critical aspects of power production distribution control conversion and measurement are presented. The authors place emphasis on real-world applications examining electrical distribution and associated system operation from a user's or technician's point of view. The use of an ‘electrical power systems' model facilitates the reader's comprehensive understanding of electrical distribution utilizing power distribution as a key starting point and then applying that relationship to other important associated systems. The final chapter of this new edition is re-focused to emphasize the economics of distribution systems computer power requirements and current environmental considerations. The book provides a valuable desk reference for the working engineer contractor or technician who needs a thorough application-based guide for finding the best solutions to today's electrical distribution challenges.

Lowering Your Facility’s Electric Rates

Many energy practitioners are either uninformed or misinformed regarding how electricity is actually priced. Many are also unaware of how to properly calculate potential dollar savings from energy efficiency upgrades. Designed for commercial/industrial/institutional (C&I) power customers this book details ways to secure lower electric rates and pricing in both regulated and deregulated retail power markets. The range of options varies from simple methods (e. g. minimizing sales tax) to more complex techniques (e. g. intervening in regulatory rate proceedings). With 40+ years’ experience in energy services Mr. Audin provides an excellent understanding of power pricing and ways to reduce it. | Lowering Your Facility’s Electric Rates

Modulation Theory

In recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted both in industry and academia towards the design performance analysis and evaluation of modulation schemes to be used in wireless and optical networks towards the development of the next and future generations of mobile cellular communication systems. Modulation Theory is intended to serve as a complementary textbook for courses dealing with Modulation Theory or Communication Systems but also as a professional book for engineers who need to update their knowledge in the communications area.

Dielectric Materials for Energy Storage and Energy Harvesting Devices

As the demand for energy harvesting and storage devices grows this book will be valuable for researchers to learn about the most current achievements in this sector. Sustainable development systems are centered on three pillars: economic development environmental stewardship and social. One of the ideas established to achieve balance between these pillars is to minimize the usage of nonrenewable energy sources. Harvesting energy from the surrounding environment and converting it into electrical power is one viable solution to this problem. In recent years there has been a surge in the development of new energy generation technologies such as solar wind and thermal energy to replace fossil fuel energy supplies with cleaner renewable ones. Energy harvesting systems have emerged as a key study topic and are rapidly expanding. | Dielectric Materials for Energy Storage and Energy Harvesting Devices
