This book covers selected topics and methods for peripheral
security, which are gaining attention nowadays. The book discusses
the security arrangement and methods for monitoring the
inside/outside entry of peripheral areas that need to be secured.
It relates to a periphery, often portable device (as well as the
methods employed, and systems including such a peripheral device
and a host central command device with which the local geographical
command device communicates), enabling one or more security
operations performed by the peripheral device. It also covers the
security scenario of snow-prone areas in a remote location. It also
elaborates how we can secure the person and devices in extremely
cold conditions and rescue them. This book helps the researchers,
academicians, and industry persons working in security areas to
protect unauthentic entry in large scale areas that may be defense
camps or civilian applications like large-sized bungalows,
institutes, and organizations of national importance. The
experimental results are in close conformance to the proposed
methodologies.
This book at hand is an appropriate addition to the field of
fractional calculus applied to control systems. If an engineer or a
researcher wishes to delve into fractional-order systems, then this
book has many collections of such systems to work upon, and this
book also tells the reader about how one can convert an
integer-order system into an appropriate fractional-order one
through an efficient and simple algorithm. If the reader further
wants to explore the controller design for the fractional-order
systems, then for them, this book provides a variety of controller
design strategies. The use of fractional-order derivatives and
integrals in control theory leads to better results than
integer-order approaches and hence provides solid motivation for
further development of control theory. Fractional-order models are
more useful than the integer-order models when accuracy is of
paramount importance. Real-time experimental validation of
controller design strategies for the fractional-order plants is
available. This book is beneficial to the academic institutes for
postgraduate and advanced research-level that need a specific
textbook on fractional control and its applications in srobotic
manipulators. The book is also a valuable teaching and learning
resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

This book focuses on two of the most important aspects of wind farm
operation: decisions and control. The first part of the book deals
with decision-making processes, and explains that hybrid wind farm
operation is governed by a set of alternatives that the wind farm
operator must choose from in order to achieve optimal delivery of
wind power to the utility grid. This decision-making is accompanied
by accurate forecasts of wind speed, which must be known
beforehand. Errors in wind forecasting can be compensated for by
pumping power from a reserve capacity to the grid using a battery
energy storage system (BESS). Alternatives based on penalty cost
are assessed using certain criteria, and MCDM methods are used to
evaluate the best choice. Further, considering the randomness in
the dynamic phenomenon in wind farms, a fuzzy MCDM approach is
applied during the decision-making process to evaluate the best
alternative for hybrid wind farm operation. Case studies from wind
farms in the USA are presented, together with numerical solutions
to the problem. In turn, the second part deals with the control
aspect, and especially with yaw angle control, which facilitates
power maximization at wind farms. A novel transfer function-based
methodology is presented that controls the wake center of the
upstream turbine(s); lidar-based numerical simulation is carried
out for wind farm layouts; and an adaptive control strategy is
implemented to achieve the desired yaw angle for upstream turbines.
The proposed methodology is tested for two wind farm layouts. Wake
management is also implemented for hybrid wind farms where BESS
life enhancement is studied. The effect of yaw angle on the
operational cost of BESS is assessed, and case studies for wind
farm datasets from the USA and Denmark are discussed. Overall, the
book provides a comprehensive guide to decision and control aspects
for hybrid wind farms, which are particularly important from an
industrial standpoint.
This book addresses a range of solutions and effective control
techniques for Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), intended as a response
to the increased energy consumption and wastewater production
stemming from globalization. It describes the fundamentals of MFCs
and control-oriented mathematical models, and provides detailed
information on uncertain parameters. Various control techniques
like robust control with LMI, adaptive backstepping control, and
exact linearization control are developed for different
mathematical models. In turn, the book elaborates on the basics of
adaptive control, presenting several methods in detail. It also
demonstrates how MFCs can be developed at the laboratory level,
equipping readers to develop their own MFCs for experimental
purposes. In closing, it develops a transfer function model for
MFCs by combining a system identification technique and model
reference adaptive control techniques. By addressing one of the
most promising sources of clean and renewable energy, this book
provides a viable solution for meeting the world's increasing
energy demands.
