Electricity has become a basic requirement in today’s world. Interruption free electrical energy and availability of surplus power are entwined in improving consumers quality of life. EHT Transmission Performance Evaluation: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides emerging research on reliability...

The search for renewable energy and smart grids, the societal impact of blackouts, and the environmental impact of generating electricity, along with the new ABET criteria, continue to drive a renewed interest in electric energy as a core subject. Keeping pace with these changes, Electric Energy: An Introduction, Third Edition restructures the trad

The Electrification of Russia, 1880–1926 is the first full account of the widespread adoption of electricity in Russia, from the beginning in the 1880s to its early years as a state technology under Soviet rule. Jonathan Coopersmith has mined the archives for both the tsarist and the Soviet periods...

A Historical Account of Useful Inventions and Scientific Discoveries is an overview of many disruptive inventions such as electricity, gunpowder, chain bridges, and more.

Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. In 1893 he patented an electro-mechanical oscillator as a steam-powered electric generator. By his own account, one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, for which it was accorded the moniker, "Tesla's earthquake machine."

This is an excerpt from the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series. The series was designed to educate Sailors and Fleet Marine Force Personnel while they are not assigned to training commands. "Power Supplies" will help you learn and understand operation, safety, and...

This is a companion to the Navy Electricity and Electonics Training Series, it include lots of useful formulas and nomenclature used in US Navy equipment. This high quality rendition was abridged and converted for viewing on electronic devices and includes many illustrations and schematics painstakingly recovered from the original materials. . 

This book proposes intriguing arguments that will enable students to achieve a deeper understanding of electromagnetism, while also presenting a number of classical methods for solving difficult problems. Two chapters are devoted to relativistic electrodynamics, covering all aspects needed...

Power Systems, Third Edition (part of the five-volume set, The Electric Power Engineering Handbook) covers all aspects of power system protection, dynamics, stability, operation, and control. Under the editorial guidance of L.L. Grigsby, a respected and accomplished authority in power engineering,...

Microwave Principles, explains microwave oscillators, amplifiers, and waveguides, as they relate to RADAR and telecomunications applications. This is a volume from the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series, a Non-Resident Training Course designed to introduce US Marines and Sailors...

Circuit theory is one of the most important tools of the electrical engineer. Circuits have charges and currents that produce electric and magnetic fields, as such they can be considered electromagnetic systems and they can be analysed starting from the general electromagnetic-field equations. Indeed,...

The scope of this book covers the modeling and forecast of renewable energy and operation and planning of power system with renewable energy integration.The first part presents mathematical theories of stochastic mathematics; the second presents modeling and analytic techniques for renewable energy...

Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases—and wind energy is a free, renewable resource. However, the induction machines commonly used as wind generators have stability problems similar to the transient stability of synchronous machines. To minimize...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go back to a simple way of living where you live off the land? Our ancestors all did it, so why shouldn’t we? One way of accomplishing this is by living off the grid, but many people don’t understand what that actually means, or how to go about it. Being...
