Advanced DC/AC Inverters Applications in Renewable Energy Fang Lin Luo and Hong Ye Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

DC/AC inversion technology is of vital importance for industrial applications, including electrical vehicles and renewable energy systems, which require a large number of inverters. In recent years, inversion technology has developed rapidly, with new topologies improving the power factor and increasing power efficiency.

Proposing many novel approaches, Advanced DC/AC Inverters: Applications in Renewable Energy describes advanced DC/AC inverters that can be used for renewable energy systems. The book introduces more than 100 topologies of advanced inverters originally developed by the authors, including more than 50 new circuits. It also discusses recently published cutting-edge topologies.

The book first covers traditional pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverters before moving on to new quasiimpedance source inverters and soft-switching PWM inverters. It then examines multilevel DC/AC inverters, which have overcome the drawbacks of PWM inverters and provide greater scope for industrial applications. The authors propose four novel multilevel inverters: laddered multilevel inverters, super-lift modulated inverters, switched-capacitor inverters, and switched-inductor inverters. With simple structures and fewer components, these inverters are well suited for renewable energy systems.

A key topic for multilevel inverters is the need to manage the switching angles to obtain the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD). The authors outline four methods for finding the best switching angles and use simulation waveforms to verify the design. The optimum switching angles for multilevel DC/AC inverters are also listed in tables for quick reference.

Highlighting the importance of inverters in improving energy saving and power-supply quality, the final chapter of the book supplies design examples for applications in wind turbine and solar panel energy systems. Written by pioneers in advanced conversion and inversion technology, this book guides readers in designing more effective DC/AC inverters for use in renewable energy systems.

Induction Motor Drives Principles, Control, and Implementation

Analysis of Synchronous Machines

Chandan Chakraborty and Suman Maiti

Second Edition T.A. Lipo

Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur

University of Wisconsin, Middleton, USA

Emphasizing real-life experimentation, Induction Motor Drives: Principles, Control, and Implementation introduces the principles of operation and the implementation of controllers for induction motor drives through both simulation and experimental results. The book covers important topics associated with induction motor drives and introduces basic types of controllers by implementing them in actual experimentation.

Analysis of Synchronous Machines, Second Edition is a modern treatment of a traditional subject. Courses generally teach about synchronous machines by introducing the steady-state per phase equivalent circuit without a clear presentation of the source of this circuit representation, which is a crucial aspect. Taking a different approach, this book provides a deeper understanding of complex electromechanical drives.

The goal of the text is to help users test a controller for induction motor drives using a Simulink® model provided on the book’s accompanying CD-ROM. Users can then quickly develop a prototype and validate the simulation results through experimentation with the prototype. The CD-ROM also includes MATLAB® models.

Features: • Shows how the induction machine can be modeled in different reference frames • Introduces different types, from Scalar control to vector control • Demonstrates how implementation of the controller can be made, dedicating a full chapter to system development using dSAPCE 1104

Contents: Introduction Induction Motor Modeling Development of Machine Model in MATLAB®/SIMULlNK® Development of Experimental Prototype Scalar Control Vector Control (Direct & Indirect) Efficiency Optimization Control Sensorless Control References Appendix Catalog no.

Focusing on the terminal rather than on the internal characteristics of machines, the book begins with the general concept of winding functions, describing the placement of any practical winding in the slots of the machine. This representation enables readers to clearly understand the calculation of all relevant self and mutual inductances of the machine. It also helps them to more easily conceptualize the machine in a rotating system of coordinates, at which point they can appreciate the origin of this important representation of the machine.

• Provides numerical examples • Addresses Park’s equations starting from winding functions • Describes operation of a synchronous machine as an LCI motor drive • Presents synchronous machine transient simulation, as well as voltage regulation Applying his experience from more than 30 years of teaching the subject at the University of Wisconsin, author T. A. Lipo presents the solution of the circuit both in classical form using phasor representation and also by introducing an approach that applies MathCAD®, which greatly simplifies and expands the average student’s problem-solving capability.

The remainder of the text describes how to work with various types of transients—such as constant speed transients—as well as unbalanced operation and faults and small signal modeling for transient stability and dynamic stability. Finally, the author addresses large signal modeling using MATLAB®/Simulink®, for complete solution of the non-linear equations of the salient pole synchronous machine. A valuable tool for learning, this updated edition offers thoroughly revised content, adding new detail and better-quality figures.

Systems & Control New! Forthcoming!

Tracking Control of Linear Systems Lyubomir T. Gruyitch University of Technology, Belfort – Montebeliard (Retired), France

The primary purpose of control is to force behavior in unpredictable environments under the actions of unknown and possibly immeasurable disturbances.

This usually occurs in unpredictable, non-zero initial conditions. In these cases, tracking is the key property that should characterize the control system, but the tracking theory has not generally been well developed in the literature. Instead, the stability theory has dominated, even though stability and tracking are mutually independent.

Tracking Control of Linear Systems sets up the fundamentals of the tracking theory for control systems.

The content is addressed to control and systems science and engineering professors, researchers, Ph.D. and graduate students, and designers, as well as applied mathematicians and researchers and engineers working with dynamics and linear mathematical modeling of technical plants and processes. With clear understanding of tracking and trackability theories, readers will understand their significance for control synthesis and be able to study and design control systems using complex domain theory. They will also develop the ability to use the applications for actual conditions of system work.

Eric Jeffs

“... [a] comprehensive treatment of energy, including its production through conventional and alternative energy sources, its different uses in society and its conservation. The book’s organization into short well-focused and well-explained sections, each of which provides a detailed discussion of a particular energy-related topic, enables the reader to get up to speed on an energy-related subject very quickly.”

Recent years have seen acceleration in the development of cleaner energy systems. In Europe and North America, many old coal-fired power plants will be shut down in the next few years and will likely be replaced by combined cycle plants with higher-efficiency gas turbines that can start up and load quickly. With the revival of nuclear energy, designers are creating smaller nuclear reactors of a simpler integrated design that could expand the application of clean, emission-free energy to industry. A number of manufacturers now offer hybrid cars with an electric motor and a gasoline engine to charge the batteries on the move. This would seem to be the way forward in reducing transport emissions, until countries develop stronger electricity supply systems to cope with millions of electric cars being charged daily.

Constantine H. Houpis

University of Memphis, Tennessee, USA

Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, USA

Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases—and wind energy is a free, renewable resource. However, the induction machines commonly used as wind generators have stability problems similar to the transient stability of synchronous machines. To minimize power, frequency, and voltage fluctuations caused by network faults or random wind speed variations, control mechanisms are necessary. Wind Energy Systems: Solutions for Power Quality and Stabilization clearly explains how to solve stability and power quality issues of wind generator systems.

Presenting the latest developments in the field, Wind Energy Systems: Control Engineering Design offers a novel take on advanced control engineering design techniques for wind turbine applications. The book introduces concurrent quantitative engineering techniques for the design of highly efficient and reliable controllers, which can be used to solve the most critical problems of multi-megawatt wind energy systems.

Covering fundamental concepts of wind energy conversion systems, the book discusses several means to enhance the transient stability of wind generator systems. It also explains the methodologies for minimizing fluctuations of power, frequency, and voltage.

Topics covered include: • An overview of wind energy and wind energy conversion systems • Fundamentals of electric machines and power electronics • Types of wind generator systems • Challenges in integrating wind power into electricity grids • Solutions for power quality problems • Methods for improving transient stability during network faults • Methods for minimizing power fluctuations of variable-speed wind generator systems This accessible book helps researchers and engineers understand the relative effectiveness of each method and select a suitable tool for wind generator stabilization. It also offers students an introduction to wind energy conversion systems, providing insights into important grid integration and stability issues.

ISBN: 978-1-4398-5614-7, $139.95 / £89.00 Also available as an eBook

This book is based on the authors’ experience during the last two decades designing commercial multimegawatt wind turbines and control systems for industry leaders, including NASA and the European Space Agency. This work is their response to the urgent need for a truly reliable concurrent engineering methodology for the design of advanced control systems. Outlining a roadmap for such a coordinated architecture, the authors consider the links between all aspects of a multi-megawatt wind energy project, in which the wind turbine and the control system must be cooperatively designed to achieve an optimized, reliable, and successful system.

The textbook’s big-picture insights can help students and practicing engineers control and optimize a wind energy system, in which large, flexible, aerodynamic structures are connected to a demanding variable electrical grid and work automatically under very turbulent and unpredictable environmental conditions.

The book covers topics including robust QFT control, aerodynamics, mechanical and electrical dynamic modeling, economics, reliability, and efficiency. It also addresses standards, certification, implementation, grid integration, and power quality, as well as environmental and maintenance issues.

To assist comprehension, the authors present real examples of experimentation with commercial multimegawatt direct-drive wind turbines, as well as onshore, offshore, floating, and airborne wind turbine applications. They also offer a unique in-depth exploration of the quantitative feedback theory (QFT)—a proven, successful robust control technique for realworld applications—as well as advanced switching control techniques that help engineers exceed classical linear limitations.

The book includes access to a free download of QFTCT—a new interactive CAD tool for QFT controller design with MATLAB® that the authors developed with the European Space Agency.

Eric Jeffs Buckinghamshire, UK

Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA

Because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, considerable energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. Hence, the green argument for conservation through renewable systems is somewhat of a contradiction. Written by an international journalist with 40 years of experience reporting on power-generating technologies and global energy policies, this book describes how to build an electricity supply system that meets the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment.

The text defines a green energy system as one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally impact the environment.

This work describes various energy harvesting technologies, different topologies, and many types of power electronic interfaces for stand alone utilization or grid connection of energy harvesting applications.

Along with the necessary concepts and theoretical background, the authors develop simulation models throughout the text to build a practical understanding of system analysis and modeling. They cover the technical aspects of renewable energy systems and assess the environmental impact of generating energy from the ocean. They also explore the design of applications, such as a solar-powered satellite energy system and several wave energy generators and converters.

Coolant Flow Instabilities in Power Equipment

Forthcoming!

Security and Privacy in Smart Grids Edited by

Vladimir B. Khabensky and Vladimir Antonovich Gerliga

Yang Xiao

Thermal-hydraulic instability can potentially impair thermal reliability of reactor cores or other power equipment components. Thus, it is important to address stability issues in power equipment associated with thermal and nuclear installations, particularly in thermal nuclear power plants, chemical and petroleum industries, space technology, and radio, electronic, and computer cooling systems. Coolant Flow Instabilities in Power Equipment synthesizes results from instability investigations around the world, presenting an analysis and generalization of the published technical literature.

Smart grid is an integration of power delivery systems with communication networks and information technology (IT) to provide better services.

Communication, IT, and security will take on significant roles in the successful building of future smart grids

The authors include individual examples on flow stability in various types of equipment, including boilers, reactors, steam generators, condensers, heat exchangers, turbines, pumps, deaerators, bubblers, and pipelines. They also present information that has not been widely available until recently, such as thermal-acoustic instability, flow instability with supercritical parameters, and single-phase coolant flow static instability. The material described in this book is derived from vast amounts of experimental data from thermal-physical test facilities and full-scale installations. It is presented in a manner accessible to readers without advanced mathematical backgrounds.

Particular attention has been paid to oscillatory (lowfrequency and thermal-acoustic) and static thermalhydraulic coolant flow instability. In addition, the physical mechanism of instability has been considered in detail.

Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Charles A. Gross and Thaddeus A. Roppel Auburn University, Alabama, USA

Real-world engineering problems are rarely, if ever, neatly divided into mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and other categories. For instance, civil engineers must contend with commercial electrical service and lighting design issues. Mechanical engineers have to deal with motors in HVAC applications, and chemical engineers are forced to handle problems involving process control.

Engineers from all disciplines will eventually encounter computer and electronic controls and instrumentation, which will require at least a basic knowledge of electrical and other engineering specialties, as well as associated economics, and environmental, political, and social issues.

Co-authored by Charles Gross—one of the most wellknown and respected professors in the field of electric machines and power engineering—and his worldrenowned colleague Thad Roppel, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering provides an overview of the profession for engineering professionals and students whose specialization lies in areas other than electrical.

Simple and easy-to-use, yet more than sufficient in rigor and coverage of fundamental concepts, this resource teaches EE fundamentals but omits the typical analytical methods that hold little relevance for the audience. The authors provide many examples to illustrate concepts, as well as homework problems to help readers understand and apply presented material.

In many cases, courses for non-electrical engineers, or non-EEs, have presented watered-down classical EE material, resulting in unpopular courses that students hate and senior faculty members understandingly avoid teaching. To remedy this situation—and create more well-rounded practitioners—the authors focus on the true EE needs of non-EEs, as determined through their own teaching experience, as well as significant input from non-EE faculty. The book provides several important contemporary interdisciplinary examples to support this approach. The result is a fullcolor modern narrative that bridges the various EE and non-EE curricula and serves as a truly relevant course that students and faculty can both enjoy.

John D. Cressler H. Alan Mantooth

Thomas T. Gordon, Arthur S. Cookfair, Vincent G. LoTempio, and Brendan S. Lillis

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, USA

Praise for a Previous Edition:

“ … an excellent reference book in a somewhat specialized field. ... This book details a lot of stuff not really documented anywhere else. It is likely to be ‘the’ book on this subject.”

“The authors, both with wide experience in the patent industry, provide a clear, nontechnical explanation of the patent system and patent principles.”

“ ... a comprehensive compendium of valuable information on the operation of electronics in extreme environments.”

The most significant overhaul of the U.S. patent laws in decades occurred with the recent passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA).

Understanding the law that dictates what a patent is and how a patent is obtained and enforced, and the recent changes through statute or case law litigation presents unique challenges. This third edition of Patent Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers examines the new Act and provides an overview of the patent system for the independent inventor as well as for members of the scientific and business community—whether a scientist, engineer, supervisor, or manager.

—Edward Petersen, Ph.D., IEEE Life Fellow, consultant, and author of Single Event Effects in Aerospace

Unfriendly to conventional electronic devices, circuits, and systems, extreme environments represent a serious challenge to designers and mission architects. The first truly comprehensive guide to this specialized field, Extreme Environment Electronics explains the essential aspects of designing and using devices, circuits, and electronic systems intended to operate in extreme environments, including across wide temperature ranges and in radiation-intense scenarios such as space.

Featuring contributions by some of the world’s foremost experts in extreme environment electronics, the book provides in-depth information on a wide array of topics. It begins by describing the extreme environments, and then delves into a description of suitable semiconductor technologies and the modeling of devices within those technologies. It also discusses reliability issues and failure mechanisms that readers need to be aware of, as well as best practices for the design and verification of these electronic circuit and systems.

Continuing beyond just the “paper design” of building blocks, the book rounds out coverage of the design realization process with detail on verification techniques and chapters on electronic packaging for extreme environments. The final set of chapters describes actual chip-level designs for applications in a variety of sectors, including energy and space exploration. Requiring only a basic background in electronics, the book combines theoretical and practical aspects in each self-contained chapter.

With its broad coverage and depth, and the expertise of the contributing authors, this is an invaluable reference for engineers, scientists, and technical managers, as well as researchers and graduate students. A handson resource, it explores what is required to successfully operate electronics in the most demanding conditions.

In addition to a new chapter dedicated to the America Invents Act, the third edition includes annotations of the recent law changes, updates in all chapters, new figures, and new case studies. The authors discuss patent filing outside of the United States and also dedicate a chapter specifically to the Canadian patent system. They describe the key topics that anyone involved in the patent process needs to know, including what makes an invention patentable, the art of patent searching, and the crucial role of record keeping. The text also includes an indispensable glossary of patent terminology, as well as an appendix with sample U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) forms.

This book provides a valuable guide to assist inventors in dealing with the USPTO, as well as with patent professionals. The text describes the patent process from conception to application filing and is a must-have reference for scientists and businesspeople alike. Since the role of patent professionals is to obtain the maximum protection for inventors, both the inventor and businessperson would be well advised to understand and participate in all the steps involved. This book offers an excellent insight into the patent process.

Using easy-to-understand text and examples, Electric Utility Resource Planning: Economics, Reliability, and Decision-Making clarifies how utilities operate their systems and prepare for the future. This explanation will show readers that both expected and counterintuitive results can occur (for example, conservation might result in higher air emissions, or lowering costs could lead to higher electric rates).

Taking readers systematically through this process, the book: • “Creates” a hypothetical utility • Explains how and why a utility operates its system of generating units • Discusses the planning methods that a utility would (or should) use • Guides readers through each stage of a planning analysis for the hypothetical utility, examining various resource options (conservation, new power plants, and solar) In addition, the author introduces four fundamental principles of resource planning that should guide utilities. He also offers opinions on how certain trends in utility regulation and legislation can hinder utility planners’ efforts to identify and select the best resources for the utility’s customers. He applies his experience and insights from more than two decades of resource planning for Florida Power and Light (FPL). As one of the largest utilities in the United States, FPL has faced a multitude of resource planning challenges, and Dr. Sim has performed and supervised thousands of analyses designed to meet these obstacles.
