Power source

The objective of this book is to acquaint the reader with explosive driven pulsed power devices, theory and applications. This includes those devices that convert the chemical energy stored in high explosives into electrical energy and that use shock waves generated by the explosives to release the energy stored in ferromagnetic or ferroelectric materials in the form of electrical energy. The reader might well ask why one should use explosive driven pulsed power for any application, since it is inherently single shot in nature.

Positioning systems in general have their most basic form, and also the most complex, in the human being. The brain serves as the summing network that accepts the command for a desired motion or position, the musculatory system serves as the power source or prime mover to cause motion to take place, and the sensory system, such as the eyes, determines the present position. In general, these three things—the brain, the muscles, and the eyes—are analogues to the three basic parts of any positioning system....

Power electronics is the technology of processing and controlling the flow of electric energy by supplying voltages and currents in a form that is optimally suited to the end-user’s requirements [1].Atypical block diagram is given in Figure 1.1 [2]. The input power can be either AC and DC sources. A general example is one in which the AC input power is from the electric utility. The output power to the load can be either AC and DC voltages. The power processor in the block diagram is usually called a converter. Conversion technologies are used to construct converters.

A transmission or gearbox provides speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device using gear ratios, including for a motor vehicle partly because of the limitations of internal combustion engines.Usually found near motors of some sort, gearboxes are used to reduce the load on the motor by using the motor's own momentum to keep it turning.

Engineering for sustainability is an emerging theme for the twenty-first century, and the need for more environmentally benign electric power systems is a critical part of this new thrust. Renewable energy systems that take advantage of energy sources that won’t diminish over time and are independent of fluctuations in price and availability are playing an ever-increasing role in modern power systems.

With technology advancements in semiconductor devices such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and gate commutated thyristors (GCTs), modern highpower medium voltage (MV) drives are increasingly used in petrochemical, mining, steel and metals, transportation and other industries to conserve electric energy, increase productivity and improve product quality. Although research and development of the medium voltage (2.3 KV to 13.8 KV) drive in the 1-MW to 100-MW range are continuously growing, books dedicated to this technology seem unavailable.

Nuclear power approximately supplies a sixth of the world's electricity and considers as the major source of "carbon-free" energy today. With growing concerns aboutglobal warming, it is not surprising that governments and power providers around the world are considering building a substantial number of additional nuclear power plants. These plants have demonstrated remarkable reliability and efficiency with the help of extensive research work and sharing operational practical experience.

Today’s wind energy industry is at a crossroads. Global economic instability has threatened or eliminated many financial incentives that have been important to the development of specific markets. Such economic sponsorship of energy generation is not unique to renewables; fossil based sources are also subsidized in many different countries. However, for a technology like wind energy whose markets are still developing, incentives can be critical for industry growth.

Open source software is such an integral part of the Internet that is it safe to say that the Internet wouldn’t exist as we know it today without it. The Internet never would have grown as fast and as dynamically as it did without open source programs such as BIND, which controls the domain name system; Sendmail, which powers most e-mail servers; INN, which runs many news servers; Major Domo, which runs many of the thousands of mailing lists on the Internet; and of course the popular Apache Web server. One thing for sure is that the Internet is a lot cheaper due to open source...
