In an uncertain and complex environment, to ensure secure and stable operations of large-scale power systems is one of the biggest challenges that power engineers have to address today. Traditionally, power system operations and decision-making in controls are based on power system computations of physical models describing the behavior of power systems. Largely, physical models are constructed according to some assumptions and simplifications, and such is the case with power system models. However, the complexity of power system stability problems, along with the system's inherent uncertainties and nonlinearities, can result in models that are impractical or inaccurate. This calls for adaptive or deep-learning algorithms to significantly improve current control schemes that solve decision and control problems. Cyberphysical Infrastructures in Power Systems: Architectures and Vulnerabilities provides an extensive overview of CPS concepts and infrastructures in power systems with a focus on the current state-of-the-art research in this field. Detailed classifications are pursued highlighting existing solutions, problems, and developments in this area.
This brief focuses on network planning and resource allocation by jointly considering cost and energy sustainability in wireless networks with sustainable energy. The characteristics of green energy and investigating existing energy-efficient green approaches for wireless networks with sustainable energy is covered in the first part of this brief. The book then addresses the random availability and capacity of the energy supply. The authors explore how to maximize the energy sustainability of the network and minimize the failure probability that the mesh access points (APs) could deplete their energy and put the network out of service due to the unreliable energy supply. This brief also studies network resource management issues in green wireless networks to minimize cost. It jointly considers the relay node (RN) placement and sub-carrier allocation (RNP-SA) issues in wireless networks with sustainable energy, and then formulates the problem into a mixed integer non-linear programming problem. Concise and informative, this brief is a useful resource for professionals or researchers studying wireless networks, communication networks, and energy efficiency. Advanced-level students interested in energy technology or communications engineering will also find the material valuable.

Networks like cables and pipelines are essential for a functioning energy market. This book provides a clear and insightful overview of the legal challenges this poses in the modern world. The construction and use of these networks depends on developments in technology, policies, and legal regulation. Recently, the energy sector has been faced with considerable challenges and changes. Energy liberalisation and deregulation, and the fact that traditional energy supplies like fossil fuels and large hydro plants are increasingly located far from the area of demand has drastically changed the energy landscape. The need for new sources of energy supply can therefore be found all over the world. This book investigates the challenges that face governments engaged in this renewal, particularly since in many cases these networks are, by necessity, international. The construction of new networks always involves the application of planning and environmental laws, and the complications these pose only increase as networks pass through the territory of several different countries. This book analyzes the evolution of this area from several angles, both geographical and legal. The authors combine knowledge and expertise from a variety of sources and backgrounds to present an invaluable overview of the regulatory developments and perspectives that shape the legal frameworks in which governments develop these networks, and the way in which account must be taken of new sources of energy by law-makers.

Maschinendynamik ist die Lehre der Schwingungen von Maschinen. Ihre Bedeu- tung hat im Lauf der Entwicklung des Maschinenbaus aus verschiedenen Grunden standig zugenommen. Die Maschinen sollen mit geringem Materialaufwand viel leisten, sie sollen sicher genug funktionieren, ihre Sicherheit solI aber auch nicht unvernunftig groB sein und ihre Lebensdauer soIl lang sein. Um aIle diese Forde- rungen erfiillen zu k6nnen, sind unter anderem gute Kenntnisse der dynamischen Vorgange erforderlich. Die Kenntnisse wurden besonders in den letzten Jahren durch zahlreiche Ver6ffentIichungen vermehrt. Die groBe Zahl dieser Ver6ffent- lichungen und deren verschiedenartige Darstellung machen es jedoch oft selbst dem Fachmann schwer, das Wesentliche zu erkennen und praktisch zu verwerten. Mit dem vorliegenden Buch m6chte ich hierzu eine Hilfe geben. Das Buch ist in erster Linie fUr den Praktiker bzw. dessen Ausbildung ge- schrieben. Dabei wurde vorausgesetzt, daB er Kenntnisse in Technischer Mechanik und Mathematik hat, wie sie an einer Technischen Hochschule vermittelt werden. Wahrend der Praktiker fruher alles selbst rechnen und die Rechenmethoden bis ins einzelne kennen muBte, hat sich seine Tatigkeit mit der Verfugbarkeit von leistungsfahigen Computern und von Rechenprogrammen entscheidend geandert.
Die Leistungselektronik ist ein Teilgebiet der energetischen Elektrotechnik. Sie gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung wegen der wachsenden Anforderungen an das Schalten, Steuern und Umformen elektrischer Energie bei der Automatisierung der Produktion, bei der Entwicklung der industriellen Antriebstech- nik. der Verkehrs-und der Energietechnik, der Nachrichten-und Konsumgutertechnik usw. Daher tragt die Leistungselektronik in Verbindung mit der Mikroelektronik und mit neuen leistungselektro- nischen Bauelementen und schaltungstechnischen Loesungen zur Material- und Energieoekonomie wesentlich bei. Um gunstigste Ergebnisse beim Einsatz neuer leistungselektronischer Bauelemente sowie bei der Ent- wicklung von Schaltungen, Geraten und Anlagen der Leistungselektronik zu erreichen, muss der dafur verantwortliche Ingenieur die Wirkungsweise aller Teile dieser Anlagen und ihr Zusammenwirken mit dem speisenden Netz, der Last und dem Informationsteil verstehen. Die dafur notwendigen Grund- kenntnisse und Fahigkeiten soll das vorliegende Lehrbuch vermitteln. Fortschritte in der Leistungselektronik werden vor allem durch neue leistungselektroI11sche Bau- elemente hervorgerufen, die sich dann auch wieder auf die Schaltungs-und auf die Informationsiechnik auswirken. Deshalb wird von den physikalischen Grundlagen und Besonderheiten des Einsatzes der fur die Entwicklung moderner Stellglieder und Speisequellen notwendigen leistungs-Halbleiterbau- elemente ausgegangen. Anschliessend werden die Wirkungsweise und die Dimensionierung der mit diesen Bauteilen arbeitenden Stromrichterschaltungen behandelt. Dabei wird nach der Art der Loeschung der Ventile in netz-und selbstgeloeschte Schaltungen unterschieden, und es werden zahlreiche Anwendungs- beispiele gegeben.
