The aim of this book is to provide an overview of recent developments in Kalman filter theory and their applications in engineering and scientific fields. The book is divided into 24 chapters and organized in five blocks corresponding to recent advances in Kalman filtering theory, applications in medical and biological sciences, tracking and positioning systems, electrical engineering and, finally, industrial processes and communication networks.
Grid converters are the key player in renewable energy integration. The high penetration of renewable energy systems is calling for new more stringent grid requirements. As a consequence, the grid converters should be able to exhibit advanced functions like: dynamic control of active and reactive power, operation within a wide range of voltage and frequency, voltage ride-through capability, reactive current injection during faults, grid services support. This book explains the topologies, modulation and control of grid converters for both photovoltaic and wind power applications. In addition to power electronics, this book focuses on the specific applications in photovoltaic wind power syste...
Voltage source converters (VSCs), among other power converters, play a crucial role in supplying power to both local loads and the grid at the PCC. During stand-alone operation, VSCs ensure stable power for loads by regulating the output voltage. In grid-connected mode, the regulation shifts to controlling output current, such as converter side current (CSC) or grid side current (GSC), to inject sinusoidal current into the electrical grid. The nonlinear characteristics of the loads connected to the power converters result in significantly distorted output voltages. This capability is crucial for applications such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS), emphasizing the importance of precise ou...
Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) algorithms have become standard tools for discrete-time signal and image processing in several areas in research and industry. As DWT provides both frequency and location information of the analyzed signal, it is constantly used to solve and treat more and more advanced problems. The present book: Discrete Wavelet Transforms: Theory and Applications describes the latest progress in DWT analysis in non-stationary signal processing, multi-scale image enhancement as well as in biomedical and industrial applications. Each book chapter is a separate entity providing examples both the theory and applications. The book comprises of tutorial and advanced material. It is intended to be a reference text for graduate students and researchers to obtain in-depth knowledge in specific applications.
This book is aimed at researchers, industry professionals and students interested in the broad ranges of disciplines related to condition monitoring of machinery working in non-stationary conditions. Each chapter, accepted after a rigorous peer-review process, reports on a selected, original piece of work presented and discussed at the International Conference on Condition Monitoring of Machinery in Non-stationary Operations, CMMNO’2018, held on June 20 – 22, 2018, in Santander, Spain. The book describes both theoretical developments and a number of industrial case studies, which cover different topics, such as: noise and vibrations in machinery, conditioning monitoring in non-stationary operations, vibro-acoustic diagnosis of machinery, signal processing, application of pattern recognition and data mining, monitoring and diagnostic systems, faults detection, dynamics of structures and machinery, and mechatronic machinery diagnostics.

Los contextos educativos del siglo XXI requieren de un replanteamiento metodológico para ajustarse a las nuevas demandas y necesidades sociales. En este sentido, la evaluación formativa y compartida permite la revisión, el reajuste y la optimización de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje desde una perspectiva holística e integradora, que favorece la implicación, autonomía y responsabilidad de los estudiantes. Igualmente, la incorporación de tendencias educativas emergentes y diversos recursos tecnológicos abre todo un abanico de posibilidades a las prácticas de evaluación en educación. La intención de la presente publicación centrada en la Evaluación Formativa y Compartida en Docencia Infantil, Primaria, Secundaria y Universitaria es promover la difusión de investigaciones, estudios y experiencias innovadoras relacionadas con la evaluación formativa y compartida así como el uso de las tecnologías entre los docentes de las diferentes etapas educativas. Considerando dichos contenidos útiles tanto para profesorado, investigadores como para equipos de gestión de centros educativos de todos los niveles educativos.
