This book provides researchers with a concise overview of the status of thin-film solar cell technology and characterization. Chapters describe material systems and their properties, and then provide an in-depth look at relevant characterization methods and the learning facilitated by each of these.

This book presents the main advanced signal processing techniques for fault detection and diagnosis in electromechanical systems. It focuses on presenting these advanced tools from time-frequency representation and time-scale analysis to demodulation techniques, including innovative and recently developed approaches.

This book provides an overview of key dielectric materials for capacitor technology. It covers preparation and characterization of state-of-the art dielectric materials including ceramics, polymers and polymer nanocomposites, for popular applications including energy storage, microwave communication and multi-layer ceramic capacitors.

This book addresses practical approaches to managing batteries to ensure their reliability and longevity. Batteries are key to the energy transition, for both stationary and mobile applications, but their inner workings must be understood in order to ensure effective management.

The comprehensive reference on synchronous reluctance machines, which offer high power density at low cost and support the electrification in the transport sector. This book, written by top academic and industry experts, covers all topics required to design these machines.

Batteries are vital for storing renewable energy for stationary and mobile applications. Managing batteries requires knowledge of parameters such as charge and power output. State estimation estimates such parameters using measurement and modelling; a process conveyed in this book through experimental results and verification.

This book takes the reader through the development of a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system, stressing the parameters that can be optimized and explaining the theory behind the GPR assessment. The authors provide a detailed discussion of the support tools and the numerical modeling of the system to improve readings from GPR systems.

This edited book presents state-of-the-art research on imaging sensors covering a wide frequency range and different sensing modalities and applications.
