Optimization is ubiquitous in power system engineering. Drawing on
powerful, modern tools from convex optimization, this rigorous
exposition introduces essential techniques for formulating linear,
second-order cone, and semidefinite programming approximations to
the canonical optimal power flow problem, which lies at the heart
of many different power system optimizations. Convex models in each
optimization class are then developed in parallel for a variety of
practical applications like unit commitment, generation and
transmission planning, and nodal pricing. Presenting classical
approximations and modern convex relaxations side-by-side, and a
selection of problems and worked examples, this is an invaluable
resource for students and researchers from industry and academia in
power systems, optimization, and control.
This practical resource introduces readers to the design of field
programmable gate array systems (FPGAs). Techniques and principles
that can be applied by the engineer to understand challenges before
starting a project are presented. The book provides a framework
from which to work and approach development of embedded systems
that will give readers a better understanding of the issues at hand
and can develop solution which presents lower technical and
programmatic risk and a faster time to market. Programmatic and
system considerations are introduced, providing an overview of the
engineering life cycle when developing an electronic solution from
concept to completion. Hardware design architecture is discussed to
help develop an architecture to meet the requirements placed upon
it, and the trade-offs required to achieve the budget. The FPGA
development lifecycle and the inputs and outputs from each stage,
including design, test benches, synthesis, mapping, place and route
and power estimation, are also presented. Finally, the importance
of reliability, why it needs to be considered, the current
standards that exist, and the impact of not considering this is
explained. Written by experts in the field, this is the first book
by "engineers in the trenches" that presents FPGA design on a
practical level.
When Baby Brown Bear arrives, all alone and very frightened, at
City Zoo, Mama Polar Bear scoops him into her arms and promises to
be his mother. Despite the grumblings of the other zoo animals,
Baby Brown Bear learns family is family, no matter the differences,
and all bears need love.
What's the best way to learn about the different periods in theatre
history? By example, of course In "A Brief History of Theatre," the
audience is taken on a tour of theatre history by presenting
(almost) the same story in three styles: Ancient Greek,
Elizabethan, and Modern Musical. The fourth wall is irreparably
broken as two Announcers introduce and comment on three separate
yet inseparable plays: "Four Against a Serpent," "All's Well That's
Dressed in Armor," and "Sammy & Kate." Designed for flexible
casting, the show has twenty-three speaking roles (not counting the
Greek Chorus) and room for plenty of extras, but can be performed
with as few as nine actors of any gender.
