The energy transition initiated in recent years has enabled the
growing integration of renewable production into the energy mix.
Microgrids make it possible to maximize the efficiency of energy
transmission from source to consumer by bringing the latter
together geographically and by reducing losses linked to transport.
However, the lack of inertia and the micro-grid support system
makes it weak, and energy storage is necessary to ensure its proper
functioning. Current storage technologies do not make it possible
to provide both a large capacity of energy and power at the same
time. Hybrid storage is a solution that combines the advantages of
several technologies and reduces their disadvantages. Modeling and
Control of Static Converters for Hybrid Storage Systems covers the
modeling, control theorems, and optimization techniques that solve
many scientific problems for researchers in the field of power
converter control for renewable energy hybrid storage and places
particular emphasis on the modeling and control of static
converters for hybrid storage systems. Covering topics ranging from
energy storage to power generation, this book is ideal for
automation engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers,
professionals, scientists, academicians, master's and doctoral
students, and researchers in the disciplines of electrical and
mechanical engineering.

In particular, manufacturing firms, electric generation,
transmission and distribution utilities, hardware and software
computer companies, automation and control manufacturing firms, and
other industries will be able to use this book to enhance their
energy operations, improve their comfort and privacy, as well as to
increase the benefit from the electrical system. The book pertains

This book outlines the principles of thermoelectric generation and
refrigeration from the discovery of the Seebeck and Peltier effects
in the nineteenth century through the introduction of semiconductor
thermoelements in the mid-twentieth century to the more recent
development of nanostructured materials. It is shown that the
efficiency of a thermoelectric generator and the coefficient of
performance of a thermoelectric refrigerator can be related to a
quantity known as the figure of merit. The figure of merit depends
on the Seebeck coefficient and the ratio of the electrical to
thermal conductivity. It is shown that expressions for these
parameters can be derived from the band theory of solids. The
conditions for favourable electronic properties are discussed. The
methods for selecting materials with a low lattice thermal
conductivity are outlined and the ways in which the scattering of
phonons can be enhanced are described. The application of these
principles is demonstrated for specific materials including the
bismuth telluride alloys, bismuth antimony, alloys based on lead
telluride, silicon-germanium and materials described as
phonon-glass electron-crystals. It is shown that there can be
advantages in using the less familiar transverse thermoelectric
effects and the transverse thermomagnetic effects. Finally,
practical aspects of thermoelectric generation and refrigeration
are discussed. The book is aimed at readers who do not have a
specialised knowledge of solid state physics.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of hardware security
concepts, derived from the unique characteristics of emerging logic
and memory devices and related architectures. The primary focus is
on mapping device-specific properties, such as multi-functionality,
runtime polymorphism, intrinsic entropy, nonlinearity, ease of
heterogeneous integration, and tamper-resilience to the
corresponding security primitives that they help realize, such as
static and dynamic camouflaging, true random number generation,
physically unclonable functions, secure heterogeneous and
large-scale systems, and tamper-proof memories. The authors discuss
several device technologies offering the desired properties
(including spintronics switches, memristors, silicon nanowire
transistors and ferroelectric devices) for such security primitives
and schemes, while also providing a detailed case study for each of
the outlined security applications. Overall, the book gives a
holistic perspective of how the promising properties found in
emerging devices, which are not readily afforded by traditional
CMOS devices and systems, can help advance the field of hardware
security.
Vacuum circuit breakers are widely used in distribution power
systems for their advantages such as maintenance free and
eco-friendly. Nowadays, most circuit breakers used at transmission
voltage level are SF6 circuit breakers, but the SF6 they emit is
one of the six greenhouse gases defined in Kyoto Protocol.
Therefore, the development of transmission voltage level vacuum
circuit breaker can help the environment. The switching arc
phenomena in transmission voltage level vacuum circuit breakers are
key issues to explore. This book focuses on the high-current vacuum
arcs phenomena at transmission voltage level, especially on the
anode spot phenomena, which significantly influence the success or
failure of the short circuit current interruption. Then, it
addresses the dielectric recovery property in current interruption.
Next it explains how to determine the closing/opening displacement
curve of transmission voltage level vacuum circuit breakers based
on the vacuum arc phenomena. After that, it explains how to
determine key design parameters for vacuum interrupters and vacuum
circuit breakers at transmission voltage level. At the end, the
most challenging issue for vacuum circuit breakers, capacitive
switching in vacuum, is addressed. The contents of this book will
benefit researchers and engineers in the field of power
engineering, especially in the field of power circuit breakers and
power switching technology.
