A new edition of this classic book on the topic of converter and device reliability, taking account of the crucial role of power electronics with renewable generation and variable loads. Besides a thorough update, new application-oriented content has been added.

Power Market Transformation is based on the most recent developments in the energy sector and brings together all the initiatives that interact physically through the common network and financially through the energy market.

Deploying lithium-ion batteries depends on cost-effective materials with high energy and power density to facilitate lower weight. Si-based anode materials offer superior storage capacity. This reference presents current knowledge about the use of silicon and its derivates for Li-ion batteries.

An authoritative overview of the technology for tidal energy generation as reliable clean power source, this book presents the principles, conversion drivetrain design options, control, resilience and fault-tolerant control, monitoring as well as the specific issue of biofouling.

Demand response (DR) describes controlled changes in the power consumption whose role is to better match the power demand with the supply. This reference, written by an international team of experts from academia and industry, covers the principles, implementation and applications of DR.

Cogeneration refers to the use of a power station to deliver two or more useful forms of energy, for example, to generate electricity and heat at the same time. This book provides an integrated treatment of cogeneration, including a tour of the available technologies and their features, and how these systems can be analysed and optimised.
