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.

Small Wind and Hydrokinetic Turbines is a valuable summary for researchers involved with small wind turbines and SHKT development and deployment, both in academia and industry, for research on powering remote areas, as well as for advanced students and manufacturers of turbines.

This book assesses how global lightning may respond to global climate change, provides thorough coverage of the lightning phenomenon and its interaction with various objects, and covers methods for the effective protection of structures and systems.

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.

Written by a team of world-class experts, this book mirrors the situation in industry today and the options provided by advanced electronics and computer technology. This is a key reference for academic and professional researchers and engineers in the energy, process engineering and manufacturing industries.

This book focuses on the challenges of rural electrification, particularly in poorer regions. It covers low voltage DC distribution system for various applications including charging of electric vehicles (EV).

Distribution systems analysis uses techniques to simulate, analyse, and optimise power distribution systems. Together with automation, these techniques underpin the smart grid. Distribution systems are facing growing challenges, due to increasing demand as well as the rising shares of distributed and volatile renewable energy sources.
