Book Description

This book discusses the operation of power systems amid the 4th industrial revolution and the value of Industry 4.0 technologies to grid operators and end customers. The concept of smart grids was introduced years ago, but their practical implementation into power grids was delayed as the information communication technology infrastructure was not ready. The transition to smart grids can be put into three dimensions: decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization. Industry 4.0 technologies can enable more advanced features that can add value to all parties in smart grids and achieve a more holistic efficiency increase for the entire system via accomplishing business goals and realizing technical requirements. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Structure of the generalized IoT value chain and IoT applications for low carbon technologies. Topological improvement of electrical equipment to facilitate a smooth transition to the smart grid infrastructure. Improvement of techniques to tackle advanced power system problems such as energy management, power equipment diagnostics, and renewable energy integration. Modeling, simulation, and analytic tools for cyber-attacks and cyber security actions for current cyber-physical power systems. Artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning application to power system problems. Intelligent controllers for an advanced residential system.

Book Description

Depletion of fossil fuels and petroleum products due to population explosion has created a tremendous demand for renewable energy sources. Non-conventional loads such as electric vehicles and smart residential systems are increasing daily, creating additional load to conventional utility grids. The extra energy demand is filled mainly by energy generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal energy sources. This has meant that load distribution and power flow management have emerged as the most significant challenges for electrical engineers. Therefore, advanced power management systems must be designed to operate the present distribution system smoothly. The fourth industrial revolution has broken down the walls between the physical, digital and biological worlds. Advancements in artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, and quantum computing have made the interface between machines and users very easy. The fourth industrial revolution has brought a drastic revolution for users, from controlling battery charging to planning a suitable control technique for fabricated electrical equipment. Smooth load sharing between grid and renewable energy sources, power management as per the availability of generating sources, and circumventing the sag and swell of utility grids to operate equipment smoothly is facilitated by advanced artificial intelligent techniques. The progressive machine learning approach enables the smooth operation of machines. Overall, the fourth industrial revolution has brought enormous advantages to help electrical users. The work presented in this book deals with the advanced design methods adopted by electrical researchers to facilitate smooth utilization of the fourth industrial revolution. The content of the book includes but is not limited to the following research areas:* Topological improvement of electrical equipment to facilitate smooth user interfaces.* Improvement of techniques to tackle advanced power system problems such as sag, swell, reactive power imbalance and power flow management.* Advanced practices to facilitate smooth electric vehicle charging systems.* Grid to smart residence (G2S) and smart residence to grid (S2G) operation of the utility grid.* Stability analysis of the utility grid amid non-conventional loading.* Artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning applications to power system problems.* Intelligent controllers for an advanced residential system.* Intelligent storage systems for residential buildings.

Book Description

World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

Book Description

This peer-reviewed book explores the technologies driving broadband internet connectivity in the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). It particularly focuses on potential solutions to introduce these technologies in emerging markets and rural areas, regions that typically form part of the digital divide and often have under-developed telecommunications infrastructures, a lack of skilled workers, and geographical restrictions that limit broadband connectivity. Research shows that ubiquitous internet access boosts socio-economic growth through innovations in science and technology, with the common goal of bringing positive change to the lives of individuals. Fifth-generation (5G) networks based on millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency information transfer have the potential to provide future-proof, affordable and sustainable broadband connectivity in areas where previous-generation mobile networks were unable to do so. This book discusses the principles of various technologies that enable electronic circuits to operate at mm-wave frequencies. It examines the importance of identifying, describing, and analyzing technology from a purely technological standpoint, but also acknowledges and investigates the challenges and limitations of introducing such technologies in emerging markets. Presenting recent research, the book spearheads participation in Industry 4.0 in these areas.
