Green Energy Systems: Design, Modelling, Synthesis and Applications
provides a comprehensive introduction to the design, modeling,
optimization and application of predictable and alternative energy
systems. With a strong focus on the fundamentals, the book provides
an overview of the energy potential and conversion topology of
green energy sources, the design and analysis of off grid solar and
wind energy sources, and their application in effective energy
management in rural communities. Sections address energy systems
from solar, wind, biomass, and hybrid energy sources, and include
discussions of power electronic circuit topologies for energy
conversion in both off and on grid systems. The second part of the
book addresses energy harvesting at different scales, with a
particular emphasis on micro energy harvesting for low power
electronics like wearable devices. A wide range of applications are
also discussed, alongside their challenges and solutions. Finally,
case studies are presented on select topics to give readers deeper
insights into the real-world applications discussed.
This book discusses advanced technologies for applications in
renewable energy and power systems. The topics covered include
neural network applications in power electronics, deep learning
applications in power systems, design and simulation of multilevel
inverters, solid state transformers, neural network applications
for fault detection in power electronics, etc. The book also
discusses the important role of artificial intelligence in power
systems, and machine learning for renewable energy. This book will
be of interest to researchers, professionals, and technocrats
looking at power systems, power distribution, and grid operations.
Human resources are the most important and costliest assets in
businesses of any nature and size, no matter where they are based
in the world. Talent management is a key managerial function in
MNCs and other organisations with a global presence, but its
importance in small businesses and start-ups cannot be
overlooked.At its most basic level, managing people in small
businesses encompasses compliance with the applicable labour laws,
hiring, and creating a channel for dealing with employee issues.
The price of not having the right employees in a small business can
be extremely high. Workers who are inefficient or in the wrong role
can have critical consequences on the sustainability of a small
business. While most entrepreneurs focus on marketing, finance,
operations, and customers in their initial stages, this means that
they at times fail to establish and address their HR function and
the associated challenges that, if overcome, may help the
organisation to meet all of its targets. This book aims to
highlight these HR challenges and shed new light on how to answer
them.
This edited volume dedicated to late Prof. P.S. Saklani addresses
the multidisciplinary themes pertaining to role of tectonism and
magmatism in Crustal Evolution and global distribution of metallic
and non metallic mineral deposits. It gives valuable information on
geodynamic evolution, structural, petrological, isotopic,
metamorphic, geochemical and geochronological attributes of
continental and oceanic crust and is challenging reassessments of
the existing paradigms. It addresses the implication of magmatism,
metallogeny and application of geochronological ages (U-Pb SHRIMP
age, Lu-Hf isotopic system; detrital zircons). This book also
advocates the role of tectonics in contamination of ground water,
and control on drainage pattern and geothermal systems. It explores
the vulnerability of earth towards natural hazards viz.
earthquakes, floods, cyclones, tsunami, volcanism, cyclones and
drought. This volume throws light on the applications of remote
sensing, GIS (Geographical Information System) and SRTM data for
evaluation of the morphometric and morphotectonic parameters and
exploring the susceptibility of river basins toward erosion and
flood. It will be beneficial to graduate and post-graduate students
as well as professionals and researchers.

Bendable wearable materials like conductive strands, fluid metallic
mixes, and polymer in paper are generally utilized as a part of the
current adaptable electronic gadgets. Extra necessities are
implemented in wearable applications. Characteristic elastic, for
example, is an appealing exchange adaptable material that is
biocompatible and offers high conductivity, low lost, simplicity to
make, and most importantly, it is water/climate safe and condition
amicable. The wearable antenna is one of the key components to
establish body area network (BAN) for wireless communication, which
is why it has become such an important part of antenna research.
Wearable antennas are being applied successfully in various parts
of life such as health monitoring, physical training, navigation,
RFID, medicine, military, and more. Emerging Materials and Advanced
Designs for Wearable Antennas explores how wearable antenna
technology is being employed to enhance the quality of life in
various industries. The technologies implemented and success of
these antenna technologies is essential in the emerging field of
wearable computing and is discussed in detail within the contents
of this book. While covering essential topics such as the
optimization of antenna material, improvement in flexible antenna
performance, synthesis and design aspects of antennas, and
transmission and receiving of the bendable antenna, this book is
ideal for the military field, scientists, the medical field,
practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and
students looking for the most advanced and updated research on the
technology and implementation of wearable antennas spanning
multiple industries.
