"Entrepreneurs, Managers and Leaders" examines the role that business leaders play in shaping industries and how the evolving context of industries shapes leaders in turn. This co-evolutionary process of leadership and industry development is told through the story of the American airline industry across the 20th century. "Entrepreneurs," who explored a variety of different airline concepts in search of a viable business model, dominate the industry's early history. As the industry evolved, a new breed of "managers" emerged who built a dominant business model that enabled their companies to grow dramatically. Later, after the industry matured, "leaders" took center-stage as agents of change to rebuild and revitalize the industry.

The lessons to be drawn from the experience of the airlines and their executives will be of interest to business leaders in industries across a wide spectrum. Despite the indelible mark that many individuals have made on their industry, writers on industry evolution-concerning the airlines or any other industry-have rarely factored in "leadership" as a way of explaining or understanding that evolution. "Entrepreneurs, Managers and Leaders" seeks to paint a fuller picture of the interdependent relationship between the actions of leaders, the context of their times, and the evolution of an industry.

This book provides key ideas for the design and analysis of complex energy management systems (EMS) for distributed power networks. Future distributed power networks will have strong coupling with (electrified) mobility and information-communication technology (ICT) and this book addresses recent challenges for electric vehicles in the EMS, and how to synthesize the distributed power network using ICT. This book not only describes theoretical developments but also shows many applications using test beds and provides an overview of cutting edge technologies by leading researchers in their corresponding fields. Describes design and analysis of energy management systems; Illustrates the synthesis of distributed energy management systems based on aggregation of local agents; Discusses dependability issues of the distributed EMS with emphasis on the verification scheme based on remote-operational hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and cybersecurity.

In an historical context, the development of electromagnetic theory and anaylsis has undergone many evolutionary changes since the 19th century. Faraday's 1831 discovery of the magnetic induction principle was at first a scientific curisoity, then a subject of intense intellectual activity resulting in the infication of the macroscopic electromagnetic principles through Maxwell's equations. One of the subdisciplines created by the discovery of electromagnetic induction and its theoretical foundation was the anaylsis of specific arrangements of ponderable bodies, including conductors which interact with electromagnetic fields to produce the measurable phyiscal effects which we call heat and mechanical force. This book is intended neither as a suppliment or replacement for previous texts, however, a number of conductor arrangements are covered here which are not done elsewhere. It is primarily for industrial use; where insight into the physical processes may be of practical value.

Power electronics systems are nonlinear variable structure systems. They involve passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, semiconductor switches such as thyristors and MOSFETs, and circuits for control. The analysis and design of such systems presents significant challenges. Fortunately, increased availability of powerful computer and simulation programs makes the analysis/design process much easier. PSIM (R) is an electronic circuit simulation software package, designed specifically for use in power electronics and motor drive simulations but can be used to simulate any electronic circuit. With fast simulation speed and user friendly interface, PSIM provides a powerful simulation environment to meed the user simulation and development needs. This book shows how to simulate the power electronics circuits in PSIM environment. The prerequisite for this book is a first course on power electronics. This book is composed of eight chapters: Chapter 1 is an introduction to PSIM. Chapter 2 shows the fundamentals of circuit simulation with PSIM. Chapter 3 introduces the Simview (TM). Simview is PSIM's waveform display and post-processing program. Chapter 4 introduces the most commonly used components of PSIM. Chapter 5 shows how PSIM can be used for analysis of power electronics circuits. 45 examples are studied in this chapter. Chapter 6 shows how you can simulate motors and mechanical loads in PSIM. Chapter 7 introduces the SimCoupler (TM). Simcoupler fuses PSIM with Simulink (R) by providing an interface for co-simulation. Chapter 8 introduces the SmartCtrl (R). SmartCtrl is a controller design software specifically geared towards power electronics applications. https://powersimtech.com/2021/10/01/book-release-power-electronics-circuit-analysis-with-psim/

The second edition of Shipboard Electrical Power Systems addresses new developments in this rapidly growing field. Focusing on the industry trend toward electric propulsion for cruise, navy, and commercial ships, the book aids new or experienced engineers in mastering the cutting-edge technologies required for power system design, control, protection, and economic use of power. Covering the latest emission standards on ships, and the clean power technologies necessary to meet such stringent regulations, the book compiles essential information on power system design, analysis and operation, uniquely bringing all three together under one cover. Beginning by covering power system basics, the book goes on to detail power generation, electrical machines and batteries, with new chapters on electric propulsion, shipboard emission regulations, and clean power technologies. Updated throughout to reflect this rapidly changing field, the second edition clearly explains complicated electrical concepts using mechanical and hydraulic analogies to aid marine engineers in understanding difficult elements of the field. The book is an indispensable resource for well-rounded engineering students and professional engineers. This textbook is essential reading for students of marine engineering, electrical power systems, and electrical engineering, alongside engineers working on commercial and navy ships, on ports, on land, and offshore rigs.

HVDC grids and super grids have sparked so much interest these days that researchers and engineers across the globe are talking about them, studying them, supporting them, or questioning them. This book provides valuable information for researchers, industry, and policy makers. It explains why HVDC is favorable over AC technologies for power transmission; what the key technologies and challenges are for developing an HVDC grid; how an HVDC grid will be designed and operated; and how future HVDC grids will evolve. The book also devotes significant attention to nontechnical aspects such as the influence of energy policy and regulatory frameworks.This book is a result of collaboration between industry and academia. It provides theoretical insights into the design and control of MMC technology and investigates practical aspects of the project planning, design, manufacture, implementation, and commissioning of MMC-HVDC and multi-terminal HVDC transmission technologies; filling the knowledge gap between the technology specialists and VSC-HVDC project developers and key personnel involved in those projects.
