This book is the result of works dedicated to specific applications of metaheuristics in smart electrical grids. From electric transmission, distribution networks to electric microgrids, the notion of intelligence refers to the ability to propose acceptable solutions in an increasingly more restrict ...

Plug in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) use energy storages usually in the form of battery banks that are designed to be recharged using utility grid power. One category of PEVs are Electric Vehicles (EVs) without an internal-combustion (IC) engine where the energy stored in the battery bank is the only so ...

The term “ smart grid ” defi nes a self - healing network equipped with dynamic optimiza- tion techniques that use real - time measurements to minimize network losses, maintain voltage levels, increase reliability, and improve asset management. The operational data collected by the smart grid and ...

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- ...

RFID (radio-frequency identification) is the use of a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequencyelectromagnetic fields to transfer datafrom a tag attached to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking [38]. The basic technologies for RFID have been around for a l ...

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 ...

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 ...

Control Systems Engineering is an exciting and challenging field and is a multidisciplinary subject. This book is designed and organized around the concepts of control systems engineering using MATLAB, as they have been developed in the frequency and time domain for an introductory undergraduate or ...
