Review Introduction to Modern Power Electronics / Wiley-Interscience:

A concise, thorough introduction to modern power electronics This comprehensive overview of the modern tools and techniques of electric power conversion covers the fundamentals of power electronics. Unlike other textbooks on the subject, which often include a great deal of extraneous information. Introduction to Modern Power Electronics presents essential material that can be covered easily in a one-semester course. This streamlined text examines low-, medium-, and high-power conversion issues and the electronic converters that process power for a variety of applications. Following recent trends in power electronics technology, greater stress is placed on pulse-width modulated (PWM) converters than in any other textbook. Modern power electronic converters, such as the resonant dc-link and multilevel inverters or matrix converters, are thoroughly covered. Special features include: * Comprehensive, easy-to-understand coverage of the principles and methods of electric power conversion using a hypothetical generic power converter * Descriptions of various types of semiconductor power switches and complementary components and systems for power electronic converters * In-depth discussions of all power conversion types: ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, dc-to-dc, and dc-to-ac * Separate chapter on switching power supplies A companion set of 48 PSpice circuit files, available on the Internet, constitutes a virtual laboratory of power electronics. This valuable teaching tool contains models of most of the power electronic converters and techniques covered in the book. It gives students the opportunity to tinker with converters and see how they actually work. Ideal for electrical engineering students at the senior undergraduate level, Introduction to Modern Power Electronics is also a handy reference tool for advanced students and practicing engineers.

Review Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer:

The field of digital signal processing has developed considerably in the last two decades. This development is related to the growth of available technologies for implementing digital signal processing algorithms. If accurate information on the signals to be processed is available, the designer can easily choose the most appropriate algorithm to process the signal. Fixed algorithms do not process efficiently signals whose statistical properties are unknown. The solution is to use an adaptive filter that automatically changes its characteristics by optimizing its internal parameters. Adaptive filtering algorithms are essential in many statistical signal processing applications. Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation is a concise presentation of adaptive filtering, covering as many algorithms as possible while avoiding adapting notations and derivations related to the different algorithms. Furthermore, the book points out the algorithms which really work in a finite-precision implementation, and provides easy access to the working algorithms for the practicing engineer. Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation may be used as the principal text for courses on the subject, and serves as an excellent reference for professional engineers and researchers in the field. The author has prepared master transparencies, Matlab routines and an errata file for the book which may be obtained via ftp as follows: 1. [+]

Review Nuclear Power Goes On-Line: A History of Shippingport (Contributions in Economics and Economic History) / Greenwood Press:

On May 26, 1958, the Shippingport, Pennsylvania, nuclear power station ushered in the age of the "peaceful atom" when it became the first nuclear power plant to go on-line. Throughout its more than three decades of operation, Shippingport encountered many of the crucial problems and issues that still confront nuclear power: policy formation, the role of government in technological innovation, technological management, environmental issues, breeder reactors, and the decommissioning of a nuclear plant. In an objective and nonprejudiced way, this book provides an accurate account of the important events in Shippingport's history and the role that they played in the future course of nuclear power. Unlike other general treatments of nuclear power, this volume presents a specific case history of one plant, with the major issues that influenced nuclear power analyzed in the context of both Shippingport and the nuclear industry as a whole. It draws on technical reports filed with the government, Congressional testimony by project head Hyman Rickover, interviews with participants in the Shippingport project, and relevant secondary sources to detail the history of one of the few successful government attempts to innovate energy technologies following World War II. The chapters trace the story of Shippingport from its beginnings, through construction, training, and management, to its final decommissioning. Other issues and influences, such as the AEC's reactor development policy and the plant's role in the adoption of the light water reactor, are also addressed. The book concludes with a general bibliography. This important new work will be a valuable resource for courses in the history of technology, public policy, technology and society, and technological management. It will also be an important addition to college, university, and public libraries.

Review Powerline Ampacity System: Theory, Modeling and Applications / CRC:

Civilization's demands for electricity continue to grow, yet environmental, regulatory, and economic constraints often preclude the construction of new power plants and transmission lines. The challenge now faced by engineers, equipment manufacturers, and regulatory agencies is to find ways to maximize the capacity of existing power lines. Powerline Ampacity System is the first step in meeting that challenge. Along with developing a complete theory of transmission line ampacity, the author uses object-oriented modeling and expert rules to build a power line ampacity system. He describes new transmission line conductor technologies and power electronics FACTS devices that can take full advantage of a dynamic line rating system. He offers examples that clearly show the economic benefit of operating an interconnected transmission network that has a diverse mix of electricity generation sources. He also discusses - with examples - generator stability enhancement by dynamic line rating.
