The solid high-polymer-film-type fuel cell (PEM-FC) system is used as the power supply equipment for transportation and replaces an internal combustion engine. A reduction of the environmental load is expected through the cogeneration system’s (CGS) use of the PEM-FC system as a distributed power s ...

The use of renewable energy systems, such as wind power, hydropower, tidal power, solar power, geothermal power and biomass burn is growing. Research in electric power generation from renewable sources is continuously expanding and stands for an area of high technological and financial importance. T ...

With the proliferation of cloud computing and Internet online services, more and more data and computation are migrated to geographical distributed Internet data centers (IDCs), which can provide reliability, management, and cost benefits. However, IDC operators encounter several major problems in I ...

Power Electronics is one of modern and key technologies in Electrical and Electronics Engineering for green power, sustainable energy systems, and smart grids. Especially, the transformation of existing electric power systems into smart grids is currently a global trend. The gradual increase of dist ...

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 ...
