Smart roads are road infrastructures with integrated structural materials, sensors, information centres, and energy systems. The goals are extending service life and performance, reducing safety risks, and improving service quality. This book brings together the latest research into technologies for novel and smart road infrastructures.

This book discusses the connection of generation to distribution networks and then moves on to consider how sustainable generation can be fully integrated into the operation of the power system.

Using PV modules on top of agricultural fields offers a twofold advantage; generating clean energy and shielding crops. This systematic and comprehensive book provides an overview of agrivoltaics, covering technology as well as social, ecological, economic and regulatory aspects.

This comprehensive reference on the urban energy transition covers the technologies available for upgrading urban power grids, which will enable them to work with distributed renewable power and varying loads.

The new edition of this systematic reference about clean power from tides and waves. Chapters cover a wider range of wave and tidal devices, onshore AC sub-stations, practicability and deploy-ability, and lessons from offshore wind and other maritime industries.

The supply of energy from renewables is not constant, and energy storage is essential in enabling higher shares of renewable energy. This 3rd Edition has been thoroughly revised, reviewing different types of renewables and considering possibilities arising from integrating a combination of different storage technologies into a system.

Microwave power transmission has a range of promising applications, but in order to make it a reality, the problem of adequate and correct beamforming has to be solved. This book explores the theory behind developing different beamforming techniques that might be used in microwave power transmission.

The new, enhanced edition of this comprehensive classic; written by international top-level experts, the two stand-alone volumes cover converters, electric drives, and reliability in power electronics, hardware-in-the-loop, power electronics for grids, renewables, automotive, batteries, electric aircraft, and fault ride-through.
