Battery systems for energy storage are among the most relevant technologies of the 21 st century. They – in particular modern lithium-ion batteries (LIB) – are enablers for the market success of electric vehicles (EV) as well as for stationary energy storage solutions for balancing fluctuations in ...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the technology behind the pico-solar revolution and offers guidance on how to test and choose quality products. The book also discusses how pioneering companies and initiatives are overcoming challenges to reach scale in the market- place, from innovati ...

There have been many developments in the field of power electronics since the  publication of  the  second edition, almost  five  years  ago. Devices have become  bigger and better  -  bigger silicon die, and current and voltage ratings. However, semicond ...

Modern day large power systems are essentially dynamic systems with stringent requirements of high reliability for the continuous availability of electricity. Reliability is contingent on the power system retaining stable operation during steady-state operation and also following disturbances. The s ...

A power semiconductor module is basically a power circuit of different materials assembled together using hybrid technology, such as semiconduc- tor chip attachment, wire bonding, encapsulation, etc. The materials involved cover a wide range from insulators, conductors, and semiconduc- tors to organ ...

For many years prior to the 1970s, engineers designed and built switch mode power supplies (SMPSs) using methods based largely on intuitive and exper- imentally derived techniques. In general, these power supplies were able to achieve their primary goal of high-efficiency power conversion; unfortu- ...

 This chapter surveys the high temperature and oxygen partial pressure behavior of complex oxide heterostructures as determined by in situ synchrotron X-ray methods. We consider both growth and post-growth behavior, emphasizing the observation of structural and interfacial defects relevant to t ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification systems which has gained popularity in recent years for being fast and reliable in keeping track of the individual objects. In RFID systems, contactless object identification is achieved using radio signals without the need ...

If one examines the current literature on GPS receiver design, most of it is quite a bit above the level of the novice. It is taken for granted that the reader is already at a fairly high level of understanding and proceeds from there. This text will be an attempt to take the reader through the conc ...

Many applications have required the positioning accuracy of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Some applications exist in environments that attenuate GNSS signals, and, consequently, the received GNSS signals become very weak. Examplesofsuchapplicationsarewirelessdevicepositioning,position ...
