Cogeneration and District Energy Systems
Modelling, analysis and optimizationMarc A. Rosen
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016
District energy (DE) systems use central heating and/or cooling facilities to provide heating and/or cooling services for communities and can be particularly beneficial when integrated with cogeneration plants for electricity and heat. This book provides information on district energy and cogeneration technologies, and the systems that combine them, with a focus on their modelling, analysis and optimization.

Darney's Circuit Theory and Modelling
Updated and extended for EMC/EMIIan B. Darney
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2024
The equipotential earth is a fundamental requirement of circuit theory, because it dramatically reduces the complexity of the mathematics required to simulate a circuit. 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.

Flexible Robot Manipulators
Modelling, simulation and controlM. Osman Tokhi
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2008
The ever increasing utilisation of robotic manipulators for various applications in recent years has been motivated by the requirements and demands of industrial automation. Among these, attention is focused more towards flexible manipulators, due to various advantages they offer compared to their rigid counterparts. Flexural dynamics have constituted the main research challenge in modelling and control of such systems; research activities have accordingly concentrated on the development of methodologies to cope with this.

Lightning Interaction with Power Systems
Fundamentals and modelling, Volume 1Alexandre Piantini
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020
The need to improve the reliability and robustness of power systems and smart grids makes protection of sensitive equipment and power transmission and distribution lines against lightning-related effects a primary concern. Renewable electricity generation capacity has been increasing all over the world, and lightning can cause failures either by hitting the turbines or panels directly or inducing transients on the control systems that lead to equipment failure, malfunction or degradation.

Modelling and Parameter Estimation of Dynamic Systems
J.R. Raol
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2004
Parameter estimation is the process of using observations from a system to develop mathematical models that adequately represent the system dynamics. The assumed model consists of a finite set of parameters, the values of which are calculated using estimation techniques. Most of the techniques that exist are based on least-square minimisation of error between the model response and actual system response. However, with the proliferation of highspeed digital computers, elegant and innovative techniques like filter error method, genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks are finding more and more use in parameter estimation problems. Modelling and Parameter Estimation of Dynamic Systems presents a detailed examination of many estimation techniques and modelling problems.

Modelling and Simulation of Small Scale Hydro Generation Systems
René Wamkeue
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020
This book provides engineers, researchers and advanced students with the mathematical modelling, control and simulation tools needed for the successful design, long-term management and maintenance of a small scale hydro-power plant (HPP). It also covers the hybrid operation with other small scale renewable power plants as well as the use of a storage system. The book features case studies and test-based design, and all system components are modelled using the well-known state space form technique.

Modelling and Stability of Smart Grids
Marta Molinas
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016
This comprehensive book describes how to systematically assess the stability of electrical grids with a high share of power electronics converters and considers what their presence in the electrical grid entails. It is divided into three areas: Part 1 presents the three fundamental stability analysis methods and tools for power electronics systems; Part 2 examines applications in power utility systems; and Part 3 describes applications in microgrids and mobile power systems.

Network Design, Modelling and Performance Evaluation
Quoc-Tuan Vien
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019
Designed for ICT professionals involved in the planning, design, development, testing and operation of network services, this book is ideal for self-teaching. It will help readers evaluate a network situation and identify the most important aspects to be monitored and analysed. The author provides a detailed step by step methodological approach to network design from the analysis of the initial network requirements to architecture design, modelling, simulation and evaluation, with a special focus on statistical and queuing models. The chapters are structured as a series of independent modules that can be combined for designing university courses. Practice exercises are given for selected chapters, and case studies will take the reader through the whole network design process.

Power System Stability
Modelling, analysis and controlAbdelhay A. Sallam
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2015
To ensure stable operation of a power system, it is necessary to analyse the power system performance under various operating conditions. Analysis includes studies such as power flow and both steady-state and transient stability. To perform such studies requires knowledge about the models used to represent the various components that constitute an integrated power system. In situations where there is a risk of loss of stability, it is necessary to apply controls that can ensure stable and uninterrupted supply of electricity following a disturbance.

Radar Sea Clutter
Modelling and target detectionLuke Rosenberg
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2022
The first maritime surveillance radars in World War II quickly discovered that returns from the sea, soon to be known as sea clutter, were often the limiting factor when attempting to detect small targets while controlling false alarms. This remains true for modern radars, where the detection of small, slow moving targets on a rough sea surface remains one of the main drivers for maritime radar design, particularly in the development of detection processing.

Soft Robots for Healthcare Applications
Design, modelling, and controlShane Xie
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2017
Robot-assisted healthcare offers benefits for repetitive, intensive and task specific training compared to traditional manual manipulation performed by physiotherapists. However, a majority of existing rehabilitation devices use rigid actuators such as electric motors or hydraulic cylinders which cannot guarantee the safety of patients; novel soft robots combining soft and compliant actuators with stiff skeletons offer a better alternative. This book focuses on the development of these soft robotics for rehabilitation purposes.
