Electricity has been chosen as the most convenient and useful form of energy, due to its ease of transportation over large distances and easy conversion to other energy forms. The biggest inconvenience with electricity is that it cannot be stored and must be utilized at the moment of generation. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Modern power systems involve large amount of investment. An electric power system comprises of generation, transmission, and distribution of electric energy. Growth of power systems has led to very complex networks extended across large areas. In such situations, the proper functioning of a modern p ...

Radio frequency identifi cation (RFID) technology is a wireless communication technology that enables users to uniquely identify tagged objects or people. RFID is rapidly becoming a cost-effective technology. This is in large part due to the efforts of Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense (DoD) to ...

The purpose of this book is to help anyone involved in small-scale geophys- ical surveys. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, in that it is designed for use in the field and concerns itself with practical matters – with the- ory taking second place. Where theory determines field practice ...

Since OpenStreetMap (OSM) appeared more than ten years ago, new collaborative mapping approaches have emerged in different areas and have become important components of localised information and services based on localisation. There is now increased awareness of the importance of the space-time attr ...

Simulation is experimentation with models. For system design, research, and edu- cation, simulations must not only construct and modify many different models but also store and access a large volume of results. That is practical only with models programmed on computers [1,2]

In this book for the optimisation of assembly conveyor lines we are dealing with series part production featured by a medium complexity degree and a medium number of individual components and assembly technique alternatives. Modern production techniques for medium to large series products or mass pr ...

Design for manufacturability and statistical design encompass a number of activities and areas of study spanning the integrated circuit design and manufacturing worlds. In the early days of the planar integrated circuit, it was typical for a handful of practitioners working on a particular design to ...
