Competence can be defined as "the ability to undertake responsibilities and perform activities to a recognised standard on a regular basis". The intention of this guide is to provide a framework for a Competence Management System (CMS) that is simple and has a focus on practicable implementation. This guidance is aimed at all enterprises that involve activities associated with engineering disciplines.

This book addresses the design challenges of developing and implementing novel integrated fault diagnosis and control technologies for complex linear systems.

This book provides a practical and comprehensive analysis of control systems for boilers and HRSGs (heat-recovery steam generators) in a variety of applications from waste-to-energy plants through to combined-cycle gas-turbine power stations (CCGTs).

This handbook outlines the factors that must be considered in designing circuits, equipment, and systems for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

This book covers the development of electric cars, from their early days, to new hybrid models in production. Most of the coverage is focused on the very latest technological issues faced by automotive engineers working on electric cars, and the key business factors vital for the successful transfer of electric cars into the mass market.

This book covers the various function principles of small motors, including rotating field machines, commutator machines, recent developments in the use of electronics in motors and the relationship between the motor and its driven load.

This book introduces magnetorheological fluids and elastomers, and explores their material properties, related modelling techniques and applications in turn. The book offers insights into the relationships between the properties and characterisation of MR materials and their current and future applications.

A hands-on, case study-backed reference of control strategies, fault classification mechanisms, and reliability analysis methods for PV modules, power electronic converters, and grid-connected PV systems. Written by an international team of researchers with excellent backgrounds in academia and industry.
