    Book SynopsisPEROVSKITE MATERIALS FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS The book provides a state-of-the-art summary and discussion about the recent progress in the development and engineering of perovskite solar cells materials along with the future directions it might take. Among all 3rd generation solar cells, perovskite solar cells have recently been attracting much attention and have also emerged as a hot research area of competing materials for silicon PV due to their easy fabrication, long charge-carrier lifetime, low binding energy, low defect density, and low cost. This book focuses primarily on the perovskite structures and utilizes them in modern technologies of photovoltaics and environmental applications. It will be unique in terms of the use of perovskite structures in solar cell applications. This book also discusses the type of perovskites, their synthetic approach, and environmental and solar cell applications. The book also covers how perovskite solar cells originated anTable of ContentsPreface xi 1 Computational Approach for Synthesis of Perovskite Solar Cells 1A.S. Mathur and B.P.

    Book SynopsisA ROADMAP FOR ENABLING INDUSTRY 4.0 BY ARTIFICAIAL INTELLIGENCE The book presents comprehensive and up-to-date technological solutions to the main aspects regarding the applications of artificial intelligence to Industry 4.0. The industry 4.0 vision has been discussed for quite a while and the enabling technologies are now mature enough to turn this vision into a grand reality sooner rather than later. The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, involves the infusion of technology-enabled deeper and decisive automation into manufacturing processes and activities. Several information and communication technologies (ICT) are being integrated and used towards attaining manufacturing process acceleration and augmentation.

  • Electrical Installation Designs

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Electrical Installation Designs

    Book SynopsisA practical and highly popular guide for electrical contractors of small installations, now fully revised in accordance with the latest wiring regulations The book is a clearly written practical guide on how to design and complete a range of electrical installation projects in a competitive manner, while ensuring full compliance with the new Wiring Regulations (updated late 2008). The updated regulations introduced changes in terminology, such as basic' and fault protection', and also changed the regulation numbers. This new edition reflects these changes. It discusses new sections covering domestic, commercial, industrial and agricultural projects, including material on marinas, caravan sites, and small scale floodlighting. This book provides guidance on certification and test methods, with full attention given to electrical safety requirements.

    Book SynopsisAbout our authors Robert L. Boylestad signed the original contract for Introductory Circuit Analysis in 1965, resulting in a publishing date of 1968: a current life history of some 60 years. He wrote the first 13 editions, with an average timespan of 4.5 years between editions. With each edition, he felt upon completion that he'd done all he could to make it the best available. However, as the years pass there is always something such as content, coverage, examples or problems that can withstand some improvement. For the 14th edition, Professor Boylestad felt it wise to join hands with Professor Brian Olivari (Maine Maritime Academy) to be sure he was fully aware of recent trends in the scope and depth of coverage in various subject areas. He feels it has been a wonderful union in developing the content of this edition. His history in the educational field includes some 45 years at various professorial ranks in the City UniversityTable of Contents Introduction Voltage and Current Resistance Ohm's Law, Power, and Energy Series dc Circuits Parallel dc Circuits Series-Parallel Circuits Methods of Analysis and Selected Topics (dc) Network Theorems Capacitors Inductors Magnetic Circuits Sinusoidal Alternating Waveforms The Basic Elements and Phasors Series ac Circuits Parallel ac Circuits Series-Parallel ac Networks Methods of Analysis and Selected Topics (ac) Network Theorems (ac) Power (ac) Resonance Decibels, Filters, and Bode Plots Transformers Polyphase Systems Pulse Waveforms and the R-C Response Nonsinusoidal Circuits APPENDICES Conversion Factors Determinants Greek Alphabet Magnetic Parameter Conversions Maximum Power Transfer Conditions Answers to Selected Odd-Numbered Problems

Intelligent satellites are increasingly capable of human-like perception, decision-making, and operations, and their problem-solving capacities are still expanding. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, their integration into satellite manufacture will only deepen. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation seeks to understand the foundations of this integration and its likely directions in the coming years. Beginning from the basic principles of interaction between artificial intelligence and satellite design and mission planning, the book analyzes a series of current or potential areas of technological advancement to create a comprehensive overview of the subj

However, shore-based VFDs often are unsuitable for shipboard applications because the power generation and distribution fundamentals are completely different.VFD Challenges for Shipboard Electrical Power System Designexplores the problems presented by variable frequency drives as they are applied in shipboard power generation and distribution system design and offers solutions for meeting these challenges. VFDs with configurations such as six pulse drive, 12 pulse drive, 18 pulse drive, active front end, pulse width modulation and many others generate many different levels of harmonics. These harmonics are often much higher than the regulations allow.
