This text comprehensively discusses the modeling of photovoltaic (PV) modules, PV array interconnections, multi-level inverters, distributed maximum power point tracking techniques, and static and dynamic PV array reconfiguration techniques. It gives a step-by-step procedure for hardware validation of the partial shading mitigation techniques. This book: Focuses on the impacts and mitigation techniques related to partial shading problems associated with PV systems. Presents a step-by-step guide for addressing partial shading problems in PV systems. Covers methods like array reconfiguration through Tom-Tom puzzle pattern and Arrow Sudoku pattern. Presents hardware validation of the partial shading mitigation techniques. Elaborates static and moving shading conditions in a detailed manner. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, environmental engineering, and renewable energy.
It is almost impossible to imagine life today without the electronics, communications and networks we have all come to take for granted. The 6G network is currently under development and some chips able to operate at the Terahertz (THz) scale have already been introduced, so the next decade will probably see the consolidation of 6G-based technology, as well as many compliant devices. This book presents the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Networks (CECNet 2021), initially planned to be held from 18-21 November 2021 in Beijing, China, but ultimately held as an online event due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. The CECNet series is now an esta...

This book highlights the sustainability aspects of additive manufacturing (AM) in two separate volumes. It describes the details of this technology and its implications on the entire product life cycle sustainability, as well as embedded carbon and the further research needed to move this technology towards sustainable, mainstream production. Sustainability is not new for any area of industry, including additive manufacturing, and there are currently a number of ongoing research projects, both in industry and in academic institutions, that are investigating sustainability, embedded carbon and research activities which would need to be done in the future to move this technology towards sustainable mainstream production.
This book explores admissible consensus analysis and design problems concerning singular multi-agent systems, addressing various impact factors including time delays, external disturbances, switching topologies, protocol states, topology structures, and performance constraint. It also discusses the state-space decomposition method, a key technique that can decompose the motions of singular multi-agent systems into two parts: the relative motion and the whole motion. The relative motion is independent of the whole motion. Further, it describes the admissible consensus analysis and determination of the design criteria for different impact factors using the Lyapunov method, the linear matrix inequality tool, and the generalized Riccati equation method. This book is a valuable reference resource for graduate students of control theory and engineering and researchers in the field of multi-agent systems.
Established as the definitive reference for the IVF clinic, the sixth edition has been extensively revised, with the addition of several important new contributions on laboratory topics, including KPIs for the IVF laboratory, Quality control in the cloud, Artificial Intelligence, AI in gamete and embryo selection, Demystifying vitrification, Microfluidics, Gene editing, Disaster management, and Early human embryo development revealed by static imaging.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the latest modelling developments in flow batteries, as well as some new results and insights. Flow batteries have long been considered the most flexible answer to grid scale energy storage, and modelling is a key component in their development. Recent modelling has moved beyond macroscopic methods, towards mesoscopic and smaller scales to select materials and design components. This is important for both fundamental understanding and the design of new electrode, catalyst and electrolyte materials. There has also been a recent explosion in interest in machine learning for electrochemical energy technologies. The scope of the book includes these la...
