The use of the wind as an energy source is increasing and growing
worldwide. Wind energy is an important non-fossil option to
supplement fossil (coal, natural gas and oil) and nuclear fuels for
the generation of electricity.Many parts of the world, particularly
the coastlines of Western Europe, North Africa, North and South
America, India, Eastern Russia, China, the Philippines, Australia
and New Zealand, experience a high annual incidence of wind energy.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, together
with the Republic of Ireland form a particularly windy location,
being favoured with strong westerly winds. The technology of the
design and installation of wind turbines and wind farms are, in
fact, well established. Operational practice, though, is still
being developed as engineers learn by experience.This book is
written for electrical engineers concerned with the use of wind
power for generating electricity. It incorporates some
meteorological features of international wind supply plus a survey
of the past and present wind turbines with technical assessment of
the choice of turbine sites. Detailed coverage is given to the
different types of electrical generator machines used and the
electronic control devices employed in modern turbine
systems.Importantly, this book devotes full chapters to the
integration of wind farms into established electrical grid supply
systems, and the environmental and economic aspects of wind
generation. Engineers will be drawn to the practical approach in
this book, featuring worked numerical examples - complete with
answers - at the end of some chapters.
This book examines the major issues arising from the Korean
financial crisis of 1997. It considers the strong prospects for
rapid economic recovery and the emerging changes in Korea's
international economic relations and business environment. The
authors investigate the causes of the financial crisis and provide
an evaluation of remedial measures and reforms currently being
introduced in both private and public sectors of the Korean
economy. The book identifies a paradigm shift in Korean economic
policy and discusses Korea's new role in both the regional and
global economy. It also examines the major developments reshaping
Korea's international business environment through fundamental
policy shifts in trade, foreign direct investment, labor relations,
management practices and the emerging trends in e-commerce. Korea's
Economic Prospects will be of interest not only to academics and
policy advisors but also to individuals and corporations attempting
to capitalize on emerging business opportunities in Korea.
This path-breaking book presents new work by leading international
scholars on the achievements and challenges facing international
business in the twenty-first century. It considers key up-to-date
developments in both the theory and practice of international
business. After analysing the historical evolution of international
business as an academic discipline, the book focuses on its
relationship to the other social sciences. New light is shed on
current issues and intellectual debates with a view to identifying
new directions and future areas of research. The authors then
develop the discussion to consider the present globalization of the
economy, addressing the strategies of multinationals, the
increasingly 'borderless' world and management competition. The
book will be of interest both to scholars and all those concerned
with business education.
This text reveals all key components of rectification, inversion,
cycloconversion, and conversion circuits. It authoritatively
describes switching, voltage and current relationships, and
converter properties, operation, control, and performance as
utilized in most practical applications. Authored jointly by a
veteran scholar and an accomplished researcher in the field Power
Converter Circuits highlights methods grounded in classical
mathematics and includes an abundance of numerical worked examples.
Features hundreds of chapter-specific problems, with solutions
provided separately at the end of the book
The rapidly increasing importance of China, India, Indonesia,
Japan, South Korea and Taiwan both in Asia and in the world
economy, represents a trend that is set to continue into the 21st
century. This book provides an authoritative assessment of the 20th
century performance of these countries, and in particular the
factors contributing to the acceleration of Asian growth in the
latter part of the century. The contributors look at Asia within a
global perspective and detailed comparisons are drawn with
Australia and the USA. Contributions from leading experts offer a
comprehensive review of the procedures necessary to establish valid
international comparisons for countries with very different
economic histories and levels of development. These include methods
of growth performance measurement and techniques of growth
accounting. The Asian Economies in the Twentieth Century will be an
indispensable new tool for policy analysts, international agencies
and academic researchers.
Is wind power the answer to our energy supply problems? Is there
enough wind for everyone? Is offshore generation better than
onshore generation? Can a roof-mounted wind turbine generate enough
electricity to supply a typical domestic household?Electricity
Generation Using Wind Power (2nd Edition) answers these pressing
questions through its detailed coverage of the different types of
electrical generator machines used, as well as the power electronic
converter technologies and control principles employed. Also
covered is the integration of wind farms into established
electricity grid systems, plus environmental and economic aspects
of wind generation.Written for technically minded readers,
especially electrical engineers concerned with the possible use of
wind power for generating electricity, it incorporates some global
meteorological and geographical features of wind supply plus a
survey of past and present wind turbines. Included is a technical
assessment of the choice of turbine sites. The principles and
analysis of wind power conversion, transmission and efficiency
evaluation are described.This book includes worked numerical
examples in some chapters, plus end of chapter problems and review
questions, with answers. As a textbook it is pitched at the level
of final year undergraduate engineering study but may also be
useful as a textbook or reference for wider technical studies.
How is the future world energy demand to be met? The rates of use
of the fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - are increasing
all over the world. The remaining stocks are finite and are not
renewable. This book considers the various options of renewable
energy, including water energy, wind energy and biomass, solar
thermal and solar photovoltaic energy. And should the nuclear
option remain open? The work also examines the environmental
implications and economic viability of all fossil and renewable
sources, introduces more distant future options of geothermal
energy and nuclear fusion, and discusses a near-future energy
strategy.

This project is distinctive in that it really is a 'Who's Who'
rather than a directory of all scholars engaged in international
business education and research.It develops a select sample of 150
leading scholars and practitioners extracted from a sample of at
least 1200 in the field. The sample is drawn from the use of
multiple selection criteria reflecting research productivity,
citational analysis, executive officers and fellows of the AIB,
management of US-based CIBERS and peer-based nominations. These
indicators highlight contributions that expand the frontiers of
research and also recognize contributions to professional and
institutional development. The compilation is also distinctive in
that it allows respondents to offer a personal statement on the
principal contributions they have made to the field of
international business. The main listing in the book is alphabetic
by name and the information is indexed for ease of reference. The
volume serves as a central reference in the field of international
business, and is an indispensable guide to academic, government and
business communities.
