Unfortunately, in the real world, no such equipotential earth exists, nor can it ever do so, which means simulating a circuit to evaluate its electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI) is largely dependent on using the Maxwell equations. The Maxwell equations are inherently complex, however, and so have high processing power requirements and, as with all complex systems, there is a propensity to generate and magnify errors.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Fortunately, the models provided in this book require far less processing power, as the mathematics required is far less complex than that of the Maxwell equations. These models are explained in a simple and straightforward manner, and can be used at the developmental stage of a project and redeployed in the testing stage before the manufacturing and product deployment stages are implemented.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">A review of the relationship of circuit theory with electromagnetic theory identifies a way of augmenting these analytical tools, and this enables circuit models to be developed to simulate all forms of EMI, thus effectively updating and extending circuit theory.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">The technique described in this book can be used to analyse all the mechanisms involved in the propagation of EMI.

Alongside each case study, the authors discuss the differences between conventional methods and AI-based methods in EV applications, and the motivation, advantages, shortcomings and challenges of AI-based methods. Finally, the latest developments, research gaps and future challenges in fault monitoring and diagnosis of motor faults are explored.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Providing a systematic and thorough exploration of its field, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and students with an interest in the applications of AI in electric vehicles, and for engineers and research and development professionals in the electric automotive industry.</p>Thu, 07 Sep 2023 09:25:44 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/ai-techniques-in-ev-motor-and-inverter-fault-detection-and-diagnosishttps://shop.theiet.org:443/electric-vehicle-components-and-charging-technologies<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">In order to create a reliable, safe and cost-effective electric vehicle with acceptable range, battery charging time, battery life and driving performance, it is important to design optimised and compatible components and charging systems.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This book offers an overview of the design, modeling, simulation and control of electric vehicle components and charging technologies. Chapters address the fundamentals of electric vehicles and the essentials of their power electronics components, discuss the principles of design, modeling, simulation and control, and then apply those principles to electric machines, drives and battery management systems. Where relevant, MATLAB/Simulink models are included. Further topics include fault tolerant operation, wired and wireless charging systems, power quality control, and grid integration. Current regulations and standards are also addressed.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"><i>Electric Vehicle Components and Charging Technologies: Design, modeling, simulation and control</i> is intended to be suitable for newcomers to the field, though it assumes an engineering background. The discussions of emerging concepts, methods and realisation are also intended to be thought-provoking for more established researchers, engineers and industry professionals.</p>Thu, 07 Sep 2023 09:24:39 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/electric-vehicle-components-and-charging-technologieshttps://shop.theiet.org:443/enabling-technologies-for-smart-fog-computing<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Fog computing is a decentralized computing infrastructure in which computing resources are located between the data source and the cloud or any other data centers. The word "fog" refers to its cloud-like properties, which are closer to the "ground", using edge devices that carry out locally computation, storage and communication tasks. An additional benefit is that the processed data is likely to be needed by the same devices that generated the data. By processing locally rather than remotely, the latency between input and response are minimized. This technology has countless application domains such as industrial process control, smart cities, transportation, healthcare and agriculture.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">In this book, all the important topics in fog computing systems are covered, including energy efficiency, quality of service (QoS) issues, reliability and fault tolerance, load balancing, and scheduling. Special attention is devoted to emerging trends and industry needs associated with utilizing mobile edge computing, internet of things (IoT), resource estimation as well as virtualization in the fog computing environment. Current research on automation, robotics, data privacy, security and trust in fog computing is explored in depth. The book also discusses emerging techniques including deep learning, mobile edge computing, smart grid and intelligent transportation systems beyond theoretical and foundational concepts for smart applications including real time traffic surveillance, interoperability of fog computing architecture and smart homes and smart cities.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Intended for an audience of researchers from academia and industry, as well as lecturers, engineers and advanced students, <i>Enabling Technologies for Smart Fog Computing</i> offers valuable insights for those with an interest in the field.</p>Thu, 07 Sep 2023 09:23:35 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/enabling-technologies-for-smart-fog-computinghttps://shop.theiet.org:443/artificial-intelligence-and-blockchain-technology-in-modern-telehealth-systems<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">The expansion of telehealth services is enabling healthcare professionals to consult, diagnose, advise or perform tasks remotely, enabling them to treat more patients in their own homes or consult on cases on the other side of the world. The security of sensitive user information is critical to effective and efficient delivery of healthcare services. Artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology are identified as key drivers of emerging telehealth systems, enabling efficient delivery of telehealth services to billions of patients globally. Specifically, AI facilitates the processing and analysis of complex telehealth data, and blockchain technology offers decentralised, transparent, traceable, reliable, trustful, and provable security to telehealth systems.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This edited book reviews security and privacy issues in traditional telehealth systems and focuses on the technical considerations, potential opportunities and critical challenges currently inhibiting the adoption of AI and blockchain in telehealth systems.
