Review Batteries for Electric Vehicles (Electronic & Electrical Engineering Research Studies. Power Sources Technology Series, 4) / Research Studies Pre:

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly important in the future of urban transport, particularly as a means of reducing atmospheric pollution. This book describes the operating principles and design of traction battery systems for electric vehicle propulsion, giving a comparison of the many candidate traction batteries available. Performance criteria for batteries in terms of energy and power density, efficiency and life cycle are presented. The text is broad ranging and covers information on the electric vehicles developed by major automobile manufacturers and the battery chemistries that are currently favoured. Future progress in the integration of electric vehicle design and battery technology is explored, together with the infrastructure considerations which must be addressed before fleets of electric vehicles can be successfully introduced into cities. This book will prove invaluable to industrial and university battery scientists and engineers, automotive engineers concerned with electric vehicles, financial sponsors of battery and electric programmes, government scientists and engineers concerned with energy and environmental planning and postgraduate students taking courses in energy, environment, transportation, electrochemistry and materials science.

Review The Induction Machine Handbook (Electric Power Engineering Series) / CRC:

Often called the workhorse of industry, the advent of power electronics and advances in digital control are transforming the induction motor into the racehorse of industrial motion control. Now, the classic texts on induction machines are nearly three decades old, while more recent books on electric motors lack the necessary depth and detail on induction machines. The Induction Machine Handbook fills industry's long-standing need for a comprehensive treatise embracing the many intricate facets of induction machine analysis and design. Moving gradually from simple to complex and from standard to new knowledge, it includes an extended presentation of windings parameters as influenced by frequency and saturation, offers a complete account of standard and new testing methods, and devotes several chapters to the design of variable-speed induction motors. With a coherence and consistency not attainable in contributed works, this handbook draws on the authors' long experience in the field and takes full advantage of its rich literature. The presentation of all types of induction machines complete with many numerical examples, digital simulations, and design sample cases make the Induction Machine Handbook a comprehensive, up-to-date resource ideal for both for practicing and student engineers.

Review Linear Circuit Analysis and Drawing / Butterworth-Heinemann:

The principles involved when using a personal computer for linear circuit analysis and drawing are described in this beginner's guide to computer tools for electronic design. Using computer tools is now an essential skill for any electronics engineer. In this book Ian Sinclair uses two typical packages, Autosketch and Aciran, to show how anyone concerned with linear circuit development can make the most of common PC tools. Readers do not need to know anything about computers, but will have an elementary knowledge of electronics. At last the long, tedious and often error-prone process of circuit analysis has been made straightforward and is available to the ordinary person. Similarly, the considerable time and skill needed for circuit drawing has been simplified and made available to everyone.

It is the first book that compares experimental and computer-modeling methods, combining the state of the art in technology with the latest insights in device modeling. A wide range of experimental issues are explored, from materials and basic device physics of thin film solar cells to potential mass production facilities for solar panels. The modeling section presents an approach to integrated optical and electrical modeling of complete devices, including optical light trapping, and describes the physical materials parameters related to amorphous silicon that are crucial for successful modeling. The increasing importance of multijunction cells with different bandgap components for thin film silicon cells is reflected in a description of the latest breakthroughs acquired experimentally and by modeling. Concluding chapters describe what can be learned from combined modeling and device fabrication, indicating potential future methods of amorphous silicon solar cell optimization. This book will prove invaluable to researchers in the amorphous and microcrystalline silicon field and the physical and experimental approaches will be of interest to researchers investigating solar cells or other film devices for large area applications.
