This book covers more electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, and all-electric vehicles including battery electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. It describes electrification technologies applied to nonpropulsion loads, such as power steering and air-conditioning systems. It discusses hybrid battery/ultra-capacitor energy storage systems, 48-V electrification and belt-driven starter generator systems, vehicle-to-grid interface and electrical infrastructure issues, energy management, and optimization. It provides numerous illustrations, practical examples, case studies, and end-of-chapter questions to aid in understanding key concepts and applications.

Detailing the concepts and theory behind renewable energy systems, this work explains the various applications of utilization and grid connection methodologies for energy harvesting. It describes and compares solar, wind, ocean wave, ocean tidal, and ocean thermal energy harvesting along with many types of power electronics interfaces.

A well-rounded resource for professionals and students at all levels, this state-of-the-art book systematically explores the application of artificial neural networks in power electronics, with particular emphasis on the sensorless control of AC drives, including for active power filtering. The authors briefly review space-vector theory and then cover voltage source inverters and their control, as well as AC electrical drive control. The core of the book examines specific original applications of linear neural networks. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the theories.
