Model Predictive Control for Doubly-Fed Induction Generators and Three-Phase Power Converters describes the application of model predictive control techniques with modulator and finite control sets to squirrel cage induction motor and in doubly-fed induction generators using field orientation control techniques as both current control and direct power control. Sections discuss induction machines, their key modulation techniques, introduce the utility of model predictive control, review core concepts of vector control, direct torque control, and direct power control alongside novel approaches of MPC. Mathematical modeling of cited systems, MPC theory, their applications, MPC design and simulation in MATLAB are also considered in-depth. The work concludes by addressing implementation considerations, including generator operation under voltage sags or distorted voltage and inverters connected to the grid operating under distorted voltage. Experimental results are presented in full.

Energy Growth Nexus in an era of Globalization reviews current research and practical policy considerations reflective of the ongoing transformation, covering four broad globalization themes from existing research literature: energy consumption, renewable energy consumption, financial markets and energy markets. Within these themes, contributors evaluate transformations in the energy-growth association relating to economic slowdowns, trade patterns, impacts of globalization, cross-border technological spillovers, changes in the risk profile of the countries, advent of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), changes in the pattern of cross-border labor force migration, and rising environmental awareness, among many other considerations. Policymakers, energy economists, and energy researchers in a range of connected disciplines will find this to be a great resource on the energy growth sector.

Carbon Capture and Storage in International Energy Policy and Law identifies the main contemporary regulatory requirements, challenges and opportunities involving CCS from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. It draws on the scholarship of renowned researchers across the fields of international energy law and policy to address CCS regulation and its impact on climate change, sustainable development, and related consequences for energy transition. In this vein, the book aims to address issues related to energy, energy justice and climate changes (including CCS technology). Contributors discuss the main challenges and advantages concerning international energy and the forms CCS may contribute to energy security, climate change, adaptation and mitigation of GHG emissions and sustainable development. In this light, the book discusses CCS as a bridge that integrates international energy, climate change and sustainable development.
