This book provides the electrical design engineer with an insight into the properties and applications of electrical steels which are used in transformers and rotating machines.

This fully revised and updated edition takes a broad introductory approach, covering market and environmental issues, financial analysis and evaluation and clean environmental technologies and costs. A valuable reference for engineers, economists and financial analysts needing an understanding of the area.

Wave and tidal energy engineering has developed strongly in the past decade, with 100MW arrays of full-scale grid-connected wave and tidal devices planned for the next few years. This book provides an electrical engineering perspective on these offshore power stations and their integration to the grid.

An update of the well-received Power System Economics (IEE, 1983) this title offers additional consideration of issues such as short-term programmes, the effect of the markets, the use of spot or real-time pricing, consumer and demand response, privatisation, and conservation and environmental maintenance.

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.

In an era of increasing contributions from intermittent renewable resources, energy storage is becoming more important to ensure a resilient/reliable electricity supply. This book presents the technology, integration and market aspects of energy storage in the various generation, transmission, distribution, and customer levels of the grid.

Based on the study of energy storage this book comprehensively covers the various types of secondary storage systems (storing energy until it is needed), and discusses the multidisciplinary problem of choice of their types and parameters.

This book, intended for both students and practising engineers, addresses all the issues pertinent to the implementation of embedded generation.
