Power systems worldwide are going through a paradigm shift from centralized generation to distributed generation. This book presents the SYNDEM (i.e., synchronized and democratized) grid architecture and its technical routes to harmonize the integration of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, storage systems, and flexible loads, with the synchronization mechanism of synchronous machines, to enable autonomous operation of power systems, and to promote energy freedom. This is <i>a game changer for the grid. It is the sort of breakthrough – like the touch screen in smart phones – that helps to push an industry from one era to the next,</i> as reported by Keith Schneider, a New York Times correspondent since 1982. This book contains an introductory chapter and additional 24 chapters in five parts: Theoretical Framework, First-Generation VSM (virtual synchronous machines), Second-Generation VSM, Third-Generation VSM, and Case Studies.

ESD designers often face challenges in meeting customers' system-level ESD requirements and, therefore, a clear understanding of the techniques presented here will facilitate effective simulation approaches leading to better solutions without compromising system performance. With contributions from Robert Ashton, Je…

An all-encompassing text that focuses on the fundamentals of power integrity Power integrity is the study of power distribution from the source to the load and the system level issues that can occur across it. For computer systems, these issues can range from inside the silicon to across the board and may egress into other parts of the platform, including thermal, EMI, and mechanical. With a focus on computer systems and silicon level power delivery, this book sheds light on the fundamentals of power integrity, utilizing the author’s extensive background in the power integrity industry and unique experience in silicon power architecture, design, and development. Aimed at engineers interested in learning the essential and advanced topics of the field, this book offers important chapter coverage of fundamentals in power distribution, power integrity analysis basics, system-level power integrity considerations, power conversion in computer systems, chip-level power, and more. Fundamentals of Power Integrity …

Рассмотрены современные экологические и ресурсные проблемы энергетики и электроэнергетики, оценены перспективы развития гидроэнергетики как подотрасли электроэнергетики, ориентированной на использование экологически чистой возобновляющейся энергии водных масс Земли. Предложена классификация видов энергии водных масс и кратко описаны технологии ее преобразования. Предложена классификация гидравлических двигателей, в которой традиционные и нетрадиционные гидродвигатели разделены на две группы по признаку расположения оси вращения рабочего колеса по отношению к потоку – с осью, перпендикулярной потоку, и осью, параллельной потоку. Достаточно подробно рассмотрены гидродвигатели, предназначенные для преобразования энергии ветровых волн. Материалы книги изложены с позиций использования гидравлических двигателей преимущественно для утилизации энергии низких напоров водных масс. Книга предназначена для специалистов-энергетиков, занимающихся разработкой проблем использования низкопотенциальных источников энергии. …
