  • Introduction to Solid State Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • James E. House
    • English
    Introduction to Solid State Chemistry provides a strong background to the structures of solids, along with the factors that determine this structure. The content presented stresses the transformations of solids, both in physical forms and chemical composition. In so doing, topics such as phase transitions, sintering, reactions of coordination compounds, and photovoltaic compounds are described, with kinetics and mechanisms of solid state reactions also covered. This book provides the chemistry of solids, structures of solids, the behavior of solids under applied stresses, the types of reactions that solids undergo, and the phenomenological aspects of reactions in solids.Kinetics of reactions in solids is very seldom covered in current literature and an understanding of the mechanisms of reactions in solids is necessary for many applications. James E. House provides a balanced treatment of structure, dynamics, and behavior of solids at a level commensurate with upper-level undergraduates or beginning graduate students who wish to obtain an introduction and overview to solid state chemistry.

    • English
    Building Energy Management Systems and Techniques: Principles, Methods, and Modelling presents basic concepts, methodologies, modeling techniques, and fundamental design schemes of building energy management systems. Covering the latest developments and methodologies from academia and industry, the book brings together energy management, demand response, evolutionary computation, and fundamental programming.The authors explore the basic concepts related to building energy management systems and put them into the context of smart grids, demand response and demand-side management, internet of things, and distributed renewable energy. Advanced topics provide the reader with an understanding of various energy management scenarios and procedures for modern buildings in an automatic and highly renewable-penetrated building environment. This includes a range of energy management techniques for building-side energy resources such as battery energy storage systems, plug-in appliances, and HVAC systems. The fundamental principles of evolutionary computation are covered and applied to building energy management problems. The authors also introduce the paradigm of occupant-to-grid integration and its implementation through personalized recommendation technology to guide the occupants’ choices on energy-related products and their energy usage behaviors, as well as to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings. The book includes several application examples throughout, illustrating for the reader the key aspects involved in the implementation of building energy management schemes.Building Energy Management Systems and Techniques is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in courses related to energy-efficient building systems and smart grids and researchers working in the fields of smart grids, smart buildings/homes, and energy demand response. The book will be of use to professional electrical, civil, computing, and communications engineers, architects, and building energy consultants.
