    Advanced Grid Technologies: Grid Evolution, Smart Grid Fundamentals, and Renewable Energy Integration, Volume One provides a coherent, practical introduction to the innovative, modern techniques required to integrate renewable energy into power grids. The book focuses on the basic history of the grid, fundamental aspects of grid management, and the challenges set by renewable integration. It begins by outlining the history of the modern energy grid before providing a comprehensive overview of renewable energy sources, the challenges their use present for typical energy grids, and the fundamentals of modern smart adaptations.Specific major challenges are broken down into fundamentals, including electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid, energy storage, intelligent electronic device-based substations, and demand forecasting for energy stability. Including a variety of numerical examples and working from early principles for each topic, this book provides late-stage undergraduate and graduate students in energy systems and power engineering, as well as engineers working to modernize the power grid, with a fundamental resource for renewable energy integration.

  • Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs)

    • 1st Edition
    • Lei Guo + 3 more

    Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs) presents water-stable metal-organic frameworks for mitigating environmental pollutants, i.e. sensing and degradation/removal applications to protect the ecological system, both environmental and aquatic life, from various types of toxic pollutants released from industries. The pressing challenge of extracting common pollutants, including heavy metal ions, anions, oil, and radionuclides from water sources is a critical issue due to the widespread problem of environmental contamination. Various approaches have been explored for this purpose, such as sorbents, chemical precipitation, and traditional membrane separation. However, these methods often suffer from inadequate selectivity and low pollutant uptake.Developing water-stable MOFs is the key to advancing effective water purification techniques, but the primary challenge lies in crafting MOF structures that can maintain their stability when exposed to water.

  • Fracture of Structural Steel Elements

    High-Temperature Creep and Hydrogen Influence
    • 1st Edition
    • Maciej Dutkiewicz + 4 more
    • English
    Fracture of Steel in Energy Machine Parts: High-Temperature Creep and Hydrogen Influence presents advanced mathematical modeling approaches for evaluating the effects of high-temperature creep, hydrogen diffusion, damage accumulation, and creep development in steam pipelines, steam turbine discs, heat exchanger tubes, and steam boiler drums. The book discusses the strength and durability of metallic materials and structural elements at the stage of volumetric damage, then at local damage, and, finally, at the end of their residual life. It introduces models and algorithms for simulating these complex processes (high-temperature creep, hydrogen diffusion, damage accumulation, and creep development) that evolve at different rates in different areas of a structure. The various types of cracks are addressed, including through-thickness cracks, internal cracks, surface cracks, and elliptical cracks.
