The variable gain control method is a new construction technique for the control of nonlinear systems. By properly conducting state transformation that depends on the variable gains, the control design problem of nonlinear systems can be transformed into a gain construction problem, thus effectively avoiding the tedious iterative design procedure. Different from the classical backstepping method and forwarding design method, the structure of variable gain control is simpler in the sense that fewer design parameters are required, facilitating the improvement of system control performance. To highlight the learning, research, and promotion of variable gain control, Variable Gain Control and It...

This book discusses relevant microgrid technologies in the context of integrating renewable energy and also addresses challenging issues. The authors summarize long term academic and research outcomes and contributions. In addition, this book is influenced by the authors’ practical experiences on microgrids (MGs), electric network monitoring, and control and power electronic systems. A thorough discussion of the basic principles of the MG modeling and operating issues is provided. The MG structure, types, operating modes, modelling, dynamics, and control levels are covered. Recent advances in DC microgrids, virtual synchronousgenerators, MG planning and energy management are examined. The physical constraints and engineering aspects of the MGs are covered, and developed robust and intelligent control strategies are discussed using real time simulations and experimental studies.
Eco-Friendly Corrosion Inhibitors: Principles, Designing, and Applications wraps up new developments in corrosion inhibitors and their current applications in real-life environments such as in strong acidic pickling and petroleum-based liquids. The book covers several types of environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitors in detail. In addition, it highlights both established research and technology on industrial scale corrosion inhibitors and their rapidly emerging aspects and future research directions. - Provides fundamental basics and applied practices of corrosion prevention at industrial scale - Serves as a valuable reference for scientists and engineers who are searching modern design for industrial scale corrosion inhibitors - Focuses on the most advanced industrial scale corrosion inhibitors, including current challenges during manufacturing - Includes up-to-date reference material such as websites of interest and information about the latest research
Corrosion affects every industry in which metal is involved, from manufacturing machinery to transport pipelines, and it is estimated to cost the global economy trillions of dollars per year. Many of the traditional methods for inhibiting corrosion are highly toxic (such as hexavalent chromium) or do not degrade readily in the environment (such as Benzotriazole) meaning they pose a risk to human and environmental health. Much recent work in the area has gone into searching for greener alternatives that will be both safe and effective. Beginning with a look at the fundamentals of corrosion inhibition and an explanation of the concepts of green chemistry, this book discusses various types of chemical that have been tested for their potential as greener corrosion inhibitors with reference to industrial applications. Green Corrosion Inhibition is a valuable reference for chemists and chemical engineers working in both research and design and academia who want to learn more about green corrosion inhibitors, their synthesis, design, and industrial scale applications.
There is a growing interest in applying the UN's sustainable development goals to a variety of sectors. One can use certain principles of green chemistry in the emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The green chemistry approach focuses on the creation of nanodimensional materials that have a low environmental impact, are cost-effective, and have no negative consequences on the environment. This book aims to summarise the different alternative green chemical routes. Furthermore, the book describes the use of nano-dimensional materials for sustainable energy generation and environmental remediation applications.
Environmentally Sustainable Corrosion Inhibitors: Fundamentals and Industrial Applications covers the latest research developments in environmentally friendly, sustainable corrosion inhibitors. The book addresses the fundamental characteristics, synthesis, characterization and mechanisms of corrosion inhibitors. In addition, it presents a chronological overview of the growth of the field, with numerous examples of its broad-ranging industrial applications in a.o. food, the environment, electronics, and the oil and gas industries. The book concludes with discussions about commercialization and economics. This is an indispensable reference for chemical engineers and chemists working in R&D and academia who want to learn more about environmentally-friendly, sustainable corrosion inhibitors systems. - Explains how to use environmentally-friendly, sustainable corrosion inhibitors in modern industry and manufacturing - Promotes corrosion inhibitors as a prime option for sustainable and transformational opportunities - Provides up-to-date reference material, including websites of interest and information on the latest research
