In particular, attention is focused both on the optimal control of new technologies and on their integration in buildings, microgrids, and energy markets. The examples presented in this book are among the most promising technologies for satisfying an increasing share of thermal and electrical demands with renewable sources: from solar cooling plants to offshore wind generation; hybrid plants, combining traditional and renewable sources, are also considered, as well as traditional and innovative storage systems. Innovative solutions for transportation systems are also explored for both railway infrastructures and advanced light rail vehicles. The optimization and control of new solutions for the power network are addressed in detail: specifically, special attention is paid to microgrids as new paradigms for distribution networks, but also in other applications (e.g., shipboards). Finally, optimization and simulation models within SCADA and energy management systems are considered. This book is intended for engineers, researchers, and practitioners that work in the field of energy, smart grid, renewable resources, and their optimization and control.History of engineering & technologybicsscfuel cellpower controlmulti-objective optimizationequivalent consumption minimization strategyfirefly algorithmhybrid light rail vehiclesolar energyFresnel collectormodel predictive controlfuzzy algorithmhybrid systemsshipboard microgridsphotovoltaic (PV) systemsenergy storage technologiesmicrogridshybrid energy storage systems (HESS)floating offshore wind turbineaerodynamic platform stabiliserwave rejectionfeedback loopcontroloptimisationenergy storagepumped storage hydroternary pumped storage hydrodynamic simulationdynamic modelinginertiarenewable energypower systemprimary controlBESSmicrogridGrid FormingGrid SupportInverter ControlDIgSILENT PowerFactoryEMT simulationseco-friendlinesssmart railwaysmart electrical infrastructurecontrol algorithmregenerative braking energysmart gridoptimizationenergy management systeminterconnected buildingsrenewable resourcesmulti-levelaggregatorwind-diesel power plantintelligent control systemdiesel-generator setinternal combustion engineartificial neural networkfuel economyco-simulationSCADAoperator trainingbuilding energy management systemsimulationequivalent electric circuitHistory of engineering & technologyRobba Michelaedt1303379Rossi MansuetoedtRobba MichelaothRossi MansuetoothBOOK9910557488503321Optimal Control of Hybrid Systems and Renewable Energies3026970UNINA04447nam 2200961 450 991082080920332120200520144314.00-520-95956-610.1525/9780520959569(CKB)3710000000245314(EBL)1711007(SSID)ssj0001350928(PQKBManifestationID)12598220(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001350928(PQKBWorkID)11295892(PQKB)11133679(StDuBDS)EDZ0001054104(DE-B1597)518785(OCoLC)994351471(DE-B1597)9780520959569(Au-PeEL)EBL1711007(CaPaEBR)ebr10944100(CaONFJC)MIL647893(OCoLC)891445847(MiAaPQ)EBC1711007(EXLCZ)99371000000024531420141010h20152015 uy 0engur||#||||||||txtccrWe are amphibians Julian and Aldous Huxley on the future of our species /R.

We Are Amphibians --Epilogue: The Future of Our Species --Acknowledgments --Notes --Bibliography --IndexWe Are Amphibians tells the fascinating story of two brothers who changed the way we think about the future of our species. As a pioneering biologist and conservationist, Julian Huxley helped advance the "modern synthesis" in evolutionary biology and played a pivotal role in founding UNESCO and the World Wildlife Fund. His argument that we must accept responsibility for our future evolution as a species has attracted a growing number of scientists and intellectuals who embrace the concept of Transhumanism that he first outlined in the 1950's. Although Aldous Huxley is most widely known for his dystopian novel Brave New World, his writings on religion, ecology, and human consciousness were powerful catalysts for the environmental and human potential movements that grew rapidly in the second half of the twentieth century. While they often disagreed about the role of science and technology in human progress, Julian and Aldous Huxley both believed that the future of our species depends on a saner set of relations with each other and with our environment. Their common concern for ecology has given their ideas about the future of Homo sapiens an enduring resonance in the twenty-first century. The amphibian metaphor that both brothers used to describe humanity highlights not only the complexity and mutability of our species but also our ecologically precarious situation.Human evolutionHuman ecologybiology.brave new world.comparative religion.conservation.conservationism.dystopia.ecology.evolutionary biology.future of our species.future.human consciousness.human progress.humanity.huxley brothers.international politics.modern synthesis.political science.politics.precarious situation.religion.religious studies.responsibility.transhumanism.two brothers.unesco.united nations educational scientific and cultural organization.united nations.world wildlife fund.Human evolution.Human ecology.599.93/8Deese R.
