Energy storage plays an important role in supporting power-hungry devices and achieving stable power supply by optimally balancing supply and demand with ever-increasing requirement for computing power and the intermittent nature of renewable resources. Emerging Trends in Energy Storage Systems and Industrial Applications focuses on emerging trends in energy storage systems, applicable to various types of applications including heat and power generation, electrical and hybrid transportation. With performance limitations in current energy storage devices, such as limited energy density, power density, and cycle life, major challenges in the complex and dynamic environments of energy storage applications are examined in this reference. High-performance components, proper system configuration, effective modelling and control are keys to achieving seamlessly integrated and functional energy storage systems are also addressed, in order to provide guidance to achieving more reliable and efficient systems. Outcomes from this book serve as a resource for industrialists, academia and researchers working in the domain of advance energy storage technologies and their applications, giving them an overview of energy storage options, availability and technological trends enabling them to make longer-term, safe storage system decisions.

Power electronics converters are devices that change parameters of electric power, such as voltage and frequency, as well as between AC and DC. They are essential parts of both advanced drives, for machines and vehicles, and energy systems to meet required flexibility and efficiency criteria. In energy systems both stationary and mobile, control and converters help ensure reliability and quality of electric power supplies. This reference in two volumes is useful reading for scientists and researchers working with power electronics, drives and energy systems; manufacturers developing power electronics for advanced applications; professionals working in the utilities sector; and for advanced students of subjects related to power electronics. Volume 1 covers converters and control for drives, while Volume 2 addresses clean generation and power grids. The chapters enable the reader to directly apply the knowledge gained to their research and designs. Topics include reliability, WBG power semiconductor devices, converter topology and their fast response, matrix and multilevel converters, nonlinear dynamics, AI and machine learning. Robust modern control is covered as well. A coherent chapter structure and step-by-step explanation provide the reader with the understanding to pursue their research.
