This book is written for engineers involved in the operation, control, and
planning of electric power systems. In addition, the book provides information and
tools for researchers working in the fields of power system security and stability. The
book consists of two volumes. The first volume provides traditional techniques for the
stability analysis of large scale power systems. In addition, an overview of the main
drivers and requirements for modernization of the traditional methods for online
applications are discussed. The second volume provides techniques for online security
assessment and corrective action studies. In addition, the impact of variable generation
on the security of power systems is considered in the second volume. The first volume
may be considered as a background builder while the second volume is Intended for
the coverage of edge techniques and methods for online dynamic security studies.
This book is based on a Ph.D. research that has been conducted at the Delft
University of Technology in the Netherlands in collaboration with Dutch Electricity
& Gas Distribution Network Operator, Stedin. This book was written as a result of
wider interest that was shown by different industry groups on this topic after its
public defence. This inspired the author to modify and publish a practical version
of the research for a greater international audience. Therefore, the content of this
book is Intended for a double audience, on the one hand for those interested in the
organisational and management aspects of maintenance.
The present work, Advanced Process Engineering Control, is Intended to be the
continuation of the authors? Basic Process Engineering Control published by
DeGruyter in 2014. It presents the main and conventional type control loops in process
industries. Titles containing the concept of process engineering were deliberately
chosen to suggest the inclusion, within the same approach, of processes other than
the traditional ones. These come from outside the traditional fields of chemistry and
petrochemistry: the sphere of pharmaceuticals, wastewater management, water puri-
fication, water reserve management, construction material industry, food processing,
household or automotive industries.
This book is Intended for researchers, teachers, and students willing to ex-
plore conceptual bridges between the fields of Automatic Control and Power
Electronics. The need to bring the two disciplines closer has been felt, for
many years, both by Power Electronics specialists and by Automatic Control
theorists, as a means of fruitful interaction between the two scientific com-
munities.
Signals convey information. Systems transform signals. This book introduces the mathe-
matical models used to design and understand both. It is Intended for students interested
in developing a deep understanding of how to digitally create and manipulate signals to
measure and control the physical world and to enhance human experience and communi-
cation.
This book is Intended to be a general introduction to neural networks for those with a computer
architecture, circuits, or systems background. In the introduction (Chapter 1), we define key vo-
cabulary, recap the history and evolution of the techniques, and for make the case for additional
hardware support in the field.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a big field, and this is a big book. We have tried to explore the
full breadth of the field, which encompasses logic, probability, and continuous mathematics;
perception, reasoning, learning, and action; and everything from microelectronic devices to
robotic planetary explorers. The book is also big because we go into some depth.
The subtitle of this book is “A Modern Approach.” The Intended meaning of this rather
empty phrase is that we have tried to synthesize what is now known into a common frame-
work, rather than trying to explain each subfield of AI in its own historical context. We
apologize to those whose subfields are, as a result, less recognizable.
The Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) is defined in this standard. Verilog HDL is a formal notation Intended for use in all phases of the creation of electronic systems. Because it is both machine readable and human readable,it supports the development,verification, synthesis,and testing of hardware designs; the communication of hardware design data; and the maintenance,modification,and procurement of hardware. The primary audiences for this standard are the implementors of tools supporting the language and advanced users of the language.
MPC5748This reference manual is Intended for system software and hardware developers andapplications programmers who want to develop products with this device. It assumes thatthe reader understands operating systems, microprocessor system design, and basicprinciples of software and hardware.
