Book SynopsisThere are various techniques to optimize either structural parameters, or structural controllers, but there are not many techniques that can simultaneously optimize the structural parameters and controller. The advantage of integrating the structural and controller optimization problems is that structure and controller interaction is taken into account in the design process and a more efficient overall design (lower control force/lighter weight) can be achieved, and also multidisciplinary design optimization can be performed. The down side is that the combined optimization problem is more difficult to formulate and solve, and computations are increased. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of dynamic analysis and control techniques in structural dynamic systems and the wide variety of issues and techniques that fall within this broad area, including the interactions between structural control systems and structural system parameters.Table of Contents1. Techniques in Control-Oriented Reduction of Finite Element Modeling in Structural Dynamic Systems 2. Techniques in Active Dynamic Structural Control to Optimize Structural Controllers and Structural Parameters 3. Nonlinear Modal Control Techniques and Applications in Structural Dynamic Systems 4.

Book SynopsisLet There Be Light is a groundbreaking history of electrification in Hong Kong. Mark L. Clifford traces how a power company and its visionary founder jumpstarted the British colony’s postwar economic rise and set in motion far-reaching political and social change.Trade ReviewLet There Be Light is a cultural, business, and political history of the world’s single most indispensable technology—electricity generation—in a great city that it helped create. This elegantly written, deeply researched, and thoughtful book offers, in microcosm, a global vision of development, finance, and state engagement with the economy. -- Thomas W. Laqueur, author of The Work of the Dead: A Cultural History of Mortal RemainsAn insightful and vivid history. Mark Clifford challenges the conventional view of Hong Kong as a laissez-faire state. He shows instead the complex and successful collaboration between its government and its most important industry—electricity. At the center stands Lawrence Kadoorie—a colonial British capitalist at the door of communist China, a Jewish entrepreneur in a city riven with antisemitism. This is a valuable history of business and of technology—and of Hong Kong’s and China’s rise. -- Jonathan Kaufman, author of The Last Kings of Shanghai: The Rival Jewish Dynasties That Helped Create Modern ChinaBeautifully written and rich in fascinating detail, Let There Be Light tells the history of China Light & Power—a company that shaped modern Hong Kong. With scholarly rigor and a journalist’s flair for storytelling, Clifford chronicles the central role a company and its people played in building one of the world’s great cities. An impressive achievement and essential reading for anyone interested in electricity markets, Hong Kong history, or the relationship between businesses and governments more broadly. -- David Sandalow, author of Guide to Chinese Climate PolicyTable of Contents1.

Book Synopsis5G technology is the next step in the evolution of wireless communication. It offers faster speeds and more bandwidth than 4G. One of the biggest differences between 4G and 5G is that 5G will be used for a wider range of applications. This makes it ideal for applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This means that there will be more devices connected to 5G networks, making them more vulnerable to cyber attacks. However, 5G also introduces new cyber risks that need to be addressed. In addition, 5G networks are expected to be much more complex, making them harder to secure. 5G networks will use new technologies that could make them more vulnerable to attacks. These technologies include massive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO), which uses more antennas than traditional cellular networks, and millimeter wave (mmWave), which uses higher frequencies than traditional cellular networks. These new technologies could make it easierTable of Contents1. Overview of 5G network, architecture, and Uses. 2. 5G use cases and application. 3. Security in the 5G Era. 4.

Book SynopsisThis book describes analysis and control against smart cyberattacks in discrete event systems (DES). This is the first technical DES book to provide a thorough introduction to smart cyberattacks on supervisory control systems modelled by regular languages or finite-state automata and possible resilient defence methods against smart cyberattacks.Smart attacks cannot be detected by the supervisor until an irreversible process toward ensured damage occurs. An attack may be conducted either in the observation channel (i.e., the supervisorâs input of the supervisor) or in the command channel (i.e., the supervisorâs output) or both simultaneously. Therefore, defence strategies against these attacks are urgently needed. Rong Su provides a comprehensive overview of the latest theories and includes empirical examples to illustrate concepts and methods. By centering on what information is available and how such information is used, the readers are provided with methods to evaluate the cyber vulnerability of a given system and design a resilient supervisor against relevant smart attacks. This book comprises two sections. Firstly, Su introduces the required concepts and techniques related to DES and supervisory control. Then he introduces different types of smart attacks that intercept and manipulate information in sensor and command channels in a standard closed-loop control system. Secondly, he presents resilient defence strategies against relevant types of attacks.By focusing on a conceptual introduction and systematic analysis, this book provides a solid theoretical foundation for future exploration by researchers and graduate students who are interested in cybersecurity research, not necessarily limited to those in the DES community. To illustrate the practical relevance of this research, realistic examples are used throughout this book. Readers are recommended to have a background in formal language theory.

Book SynopsisWithin the marine and offshore industry, there is a clear and growing need for increased training and education on the use of electrical power systems. The number of electrical plant and appliances now in service has grown at an alarming rate in recent years, as has the amount of electrical power generated and utilised on board. Large passenger ships now carry as many electrical officers as marine engineers, and electrical propulsion is now in common use by LNG carriers, small parcel tankers, oil tankers, ferries, offshore support, the navy, fleet auxiliary, cable layers and cruise ships. A number of shipping companies now award the Chief Electro Technical Officer the equivalent rank to the ship's master and Chief Engineer. These developments have resulted in the establishment of a Foundation Degree programme for Electro Technical Officers and the current development of full degree programmes. As such, a targeted textbook for students on the subject is required. As with all titles in

Book SynopsisReducing power outage time to each customer is essential to the overall distribution reliability. This book provides the fundamentals of emergency operation using a graph-theoretic approach and exploration of the subsystem(s) that address the operational aspects of electrical fault occurrence to determine possible feeder reconfiguration. The localization of a faulted segment within a feeder involves remote-controlled normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switches through supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) between radially energized, interconnected feeders. Topics cover: (1) Data extraction from geographic information systems (GIS), (2) Graph modeling of distribution feeders, (3) Programming for backward/forward sweeping unbalanced power flow, (4) Short circuit analysis and fault localization, (5) Fault isolation, temporary and full service restoration, (6) Outage management and crew coordination, (7) Trouble call tickets and escalation to search for fault, and (8Trade Review"Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation is of paramount importance for electrical-distribution engineers preparing measures for emergency operation of distribution grids. The book is also suited for graduated students for follow-up guidance in managing distribution networks under emergency operation. It is a valuable tool for teachers instructing about engineering in disasters and emergencies, researchers, practicing professionals, and advanced students needing to understand and master the operation of power-distribution systems following natural or man-made disasters."—IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, March 2019 Issue"This book is an excellent introduction to the sophisticated and vibrant subject of electric power distribution. It provides an elegant and rigorous abstraction of the cyber and physical layers of a smart distribution network through a unique graph-theoretical approach. The open-source MATLAB scripts make the algorithms highly accessible for both the power system professionals and university students and will inspire them to develop advanced distribution system functions of their own. This book is a delight for the inquisitive mind and opens up a rich field for those who are interested in power distribution resilience, reliability and cybersecurity. I recommend it highly."— Peng Zhang, University of Connecticut, USA"This book addresses interesting and timely topics, which have not been comprehensively treated in a single textbook. It merges traditional mathematical methods for power distribution system analysis and advanced tools for managing geographical dispersed energy resources for solving real case operation problems, which, in my own opinion, represents an enabling paradigm for managing modern power networks."— Alfredo Vaccaro, University of Sannio, Italy "As power distribution networks become increasingly more complex, it is important to start educating the next generation of distribution engineers in both current and future operational challenges in these networks, going past traditional fault analysis and addressing issues resulting from natural disasters as well as security issues exposed by the expanding communication infrastructure. Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation provides an accessible and thorough introduction to how we can achieve resilience under the current and future state of distribution network modeling and operation, providing practical and clear examples in MATLAB that are easy for readers to follow. Readers will learn how to translate theory to practice, which is especially important when working with real-world datasets."— Kyri Baker, University of Colorado Boulder, USA"This is a very timely publication and one that the industry has needed for many years. Like Chee-Wooi Ten, I once found myself starting in the industry and not able to find texts that covered essential topics in Distribution Emergency Operations. If I had taken a course based upon this book when I started working in the emerging area of distribution management systems, it would have saved me many hours of frustration. I am particularly excited to see topics such as GIS modeling of distribution systems, outage management, switching management, and fault isolation and restoration get rigorous treatment in a graduate level text.Chee-Wooi Ten’s mixture of academic rigor and pragmatic industry background is combined in this text to create what should be essential coursework for any student interested in a career working in electric distribution. The examples and mini-projects spread throughout the course look excellent and are based upon real world problems. The introduction to the application of graph theory to distribution systems operations formalizes some of the commonly used techniques in modern day distribution management systems. There are practical discussions interspersed throughout the text that explain the key systems involved in Distribution Emergency Operations such as SCADA, AMI, MDMS and GIS provide great background for any student using the text that will help establish a foundation for working with utilities and vendors in the industry."— Terry Nielsen, GridBright, Inc."The astounding pace at which energy infrastructures now experience including energy resource diversification, digitalization, and aging means that critical functioning electrical grids face greater and more frequent risk of intrusion and/or interruption. Moreover, extreme weather events have the potential to affect the performance of the power distribution networks, and the frequency and severity of such events are expected to increase as a consequence of the grid aging and climate change. This book has the best timing and content to address the challenges of resilient electric grid operation and outage management. Authors presented a comprehensive corollary of basic knowledge and practical issues in different chapters of the book."— Reza Arghandeh, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway "With the rising interest in power system resilience, understanding and handling faults, interruptions and equipment failures become of critical importance. At the level of distribution systems, where such emergencies affect directly end-customers’ quality of lives, production processes, transportation and many more, the matter of managing such grid events has evident and measurable practical value in an actual socioeconomic sense. To this end, the book "Distribution Emergency Operation" can only be described as current and of clearly targeted technical content. Building on basic distribution system knowledge, it assists the reader to formulate the most common models for the system and emergency events, as also the corrective control actions and measures in a set-up that it is both practical and carefully engineered for efficiency and effectiveness. Many pieces of relevant code are offered, which, although crucial to these operations and some of them relatively trivial, have never been gathered in one textbook. In this sense, the Authors have put together not only a Power Systems Engineering student’s coursebook, but also a Distribution Network Operator’s operating handbook. Starting with a brief review of current industry practices and applications, the book then defines the basic distribution system representation forms, moves on to describe how a grid is understood as a graph by processing algorithms, links the aforementioned representations to geospatial mapping, before analyzing the methodologies of unbalanced power flow, fault identification and corrective measures in face of fault and interruption events. The involvement of customers and maintenance personnel in handling distribution system emergencies is concluding this work, hinting towards the value of smart metering infrastructure for the modern and future grid development. The proposed mini projects throughout all chapters, although seemingly student-oriented may also serve as practice for professionals who are getting introduced to this specific topic.One should be accustomed to basic power system characteristics, electrical engineering fundamentals, control principles and architectures, and power quality matters, before addressing this read. Although suitable for both students and professionals interested in monitoring, handling and correcting faults at electrical distribution systems, the book is aimed more to the professional practitioner as also the system operator mostly at the design level."— Panayiotis (Panos) Moutis, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA"Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation provides timely publication that has been critically needed for industry and education for many years. The authors traverse several disciplines to bring together the most fundamental and useful technical principles for understanding distribution systems and their operations under various scenarios. This is the first time that all this cutting-edge research has been accumulated in a textbook form. The comprehensive materials are organized in a graph theory-based framework and demonstrate in open-source MATLAB codes. It will significantly benefit the engineers and students to grasp the knowledge. It deserves a place in the library of every university and college where electric power systems is taught."—Yunhe Hou, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China"Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation constitutes both a text book for students and a definitive reference for researchers and practitioners. It spans foundational material on graph theory and analysis of power distribution networks and faults, to industry practices in architecture and operation of distribution management systems. The book is replete with examples, algorithms and code snippets of a tutorial nature, making it feasible for a student to master the concepts independently. The authors possess considerable combined industry experience, through both practice and consulting, and their advanced knowledge is evident in this up to date, comprehensive, eminently readable and authoritative text."—Joydeep Mitra, Michigan State University, USA "This book offers a unique practical view into the operation of distribution systems. Authors’ extensive practical knowledge is well-presented as a great educational source for every power system engineer and educator."— Javad Mohammadi, Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, USA"This book is very useful for field engineers who work on distribution systems as well as for operators who monitor and control the distribution management system at Power System Control Centre. In addition, this textbook can help to enrich students and professionals who want to know more about electric distribution systems related to SCADA, GIS, AMI, MDMS, fault identification, fault isolation, supply restoration and outage management. The authors deliver the subject matters in the simplest possible way while at the same time provide many practical examples and MATLAB scripts to illustrate their messages and concepts. Chee-Wooi wrote this book out of his love for his work. He wanted to share his experience he gathered as an engineer with Power Automation, a joint venture between Siemens and Singapore Power and later as a professor who has taught electric power distribution courses in USA."— H B Gooi, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore"The book is a highly valuable addition to the existing literature on power distribution systems. It covers important, cutting-edge topics on contemporary power distribution. The book can be used as a textbook for high-level graduate courses or a reference for industry practitioners."— Lingfeng Wang, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA"I had the pleasure of meeting Chee-Wooi during his sabbatical at Carnegie Mellon and I have had a chance to have several interesting discussions. I learned a great deal about topology and its complexity in electrical distribution systems and how dynamic they can be. I was surprised to learn how ad-hoc the process of reconfiguration after a fault due to a single event is. I believe there are a large number of opportunities for innovation in distribution systems. Unfortunately, one of the major inhibitors is a lack of knowledge understanding of how distribution systems work. I believe the trend of deploying new sensors across distribution networks will continue and that the transformation to a fully automated is underway. This book is of strategic importance as it is the finest textbook discussing reconfiguration in distribution systems and being at the same time accessible to non-domain experts. This is the book that every new generation of students interested in understanding how to model, analyze and design resilient distribution energy systems should have on their bookshelf. The book is clearly, accessible and incredibly well written. I highly recommend having one in your bookshelf."—Bruno Sinopoli, Carnegie Mellon University, USATable of ContentsPreface. Acknowledgment.

Book SynopsisWithin the modern built environment, advanced engineering systems allow us to go about our daily lives in a relative degree of safety, comfort and security. Often, we do not give too much thought about what is happening behind the scenes. Every engineering system needs an energy source and control input to provide the service it is designed for. Without some degree of management, those engineering systems may not perform quite as intended. It is often unreliable to depend solely on building occupiers to satisfactorily control these engineering systems purely by manual means, and hence make the best use of the engineering systems for the benefit of all. The aim of this Code of Practice is to provide knowledge, understanding and good practice guidance on the design, evaluation, implementation and improvements on the use of automated controls used in mechanical and electrical engineering systems within the built environment. The Code of Practice also aims to provide clear and concise information on building automation and control systems that can be developed and applied to several different installations. There is often no single solution and therefore building controls must be specifically tailored to meet specific user needs, local technical requirements and the constraints of budget and resources.Table of Contents Section 1: Introduction Section 2: Building automation and control systems Section 3: BACS specification criteria Section 4: BACS operations criteria Appendix A: Design and operational assessment tool Appendix B: Energy management assessment tool Appendix C: Links to energy management and energy efficiency Appendix D: BACS evaluation and self-assessment checklists Appendix E: Worked examples Appendix F: Competency and training Appendix G: Standards and references
