Electrical Power Systems Design Networks And Applications

Electrical Power Systems: Design, Networks and Applications

An electrical power system is an assembly of electrical components aimed at the supply, transfer and storage of electric power. The field of electrical power systems has undergone a major transition in recent years as the focus from fossil fuels has shifted to renewable energy sources. Further, with the advent of new technologies like power electronics, energy storage, better models for the efficient production and transmission of energy are now available. The applications of electrical power systems are in the areas of photonics, renewable energy generation, automation, robotics, telecommunication, electric and hybrid vehicle technologies among many others. This book provides significant information on the design, networks and applications of power systems. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. This book is an essential guide for engineers, academicians and students who wish to pursue this discipline further.

Intelligent Systems Design and Applications

ISDA'03 General Chair's Message On behalf of the ISDA'03 organizing committee, I wish to extend a very warm welcome to the conference and Tulsa in August 2003. The conference program committee has organized an exciting and invigorating program comprising pres entations from distinguished experts in the field, and important and wide-ranging contributions on state-of-the-art research that provide new insights into 'Current Innovations in Intelligent Systems Design and Applications". ISDA'03 builds on the success of last years. ISDA'02 was held in Atlanta, USA, August 07-08,2002 and attracted participants from over 25 countries. ISDA'03, the Third International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications, held during August 10-13, 2003, in Tulsa, USA presents a rich and exciting program. The main themes addressed by this conference are: Architectures of intelligent systems Image, speech and signal processing Internet modeling Data mining Business and management applications Control and automation Software agents Knowledge management ISDA'03 is hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences, Oklahoma State Univer sity, USA. ISDA'03 is technically sponsored by IEEE Systems Man and Cyber netics Society, World Federation on Soft Computing, European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology, Springer Verlag- Germany, Center of Excellence in In formation Technology and Telecommunications (COEITT) and Oklahoma State University. ISDA'03 received 117 technical paper submissions from over 28 countries, 7 tutorials, 3 special technical sessions and 1 workshop proposal.
