Written by a worldwide expert on nuclear energy, this book is a concise but thorough work on fusion-fission hybrid technology. Chapters review nuclear fission and fusion principles, then explore how to use surplus neutrons from fusion to assist with fission processes, and how to obtain the necessary deuterium and tritium.

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.

This is a concise book on cooling and thermal management of rotating electrical machines, such as drives, motors and generators. The work provides a sound insight into heat transfer and fluid flow so that readers can understand the thermal design of any machine.

This practical reference covers the key concepts and technologies of nano- and picogrids in conjunction with connected generation, EV charging, IoT and cloud computing, and power quality and protection issues. Case studies help provide a full understanding of the concepts explored.

Overhead power lines are the only way to electrify many communities. Massive experience has been gained with electrification projects that can be used world-wide. This work presents the technology of overhead power lines, including sag, insulators, conductors, lightning, and grounding.

This book covers the use of fuzzy logic for power grids. Power systems need to accommodate intermittent renewables and changes in loads while ensuring high power quality. Fuzzy logic uses values between 0 and 1 rather than binary ones, offering advantages in adaptability for energy systems with renewables.

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.

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.
