1. Reliability Prediction for Microelectronics

   RELIABILITY PREDICTION FOR MICROELECTRONICS Wiley Series in Quality & Reliability Engineering REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR APPROACH TO RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT WITH THIS GROUNDBREAKING BOOK Reliability evaluation is a critical aspect of engineering, without which safe performance within desired parameters over the lifespan of machines cannot be guaranteed. With microelectronics in particular, the challenges to evaluating reliability are considerable, and statistical methods for creating microelectronic reliability standards are complex. With nano-scale microelectronic devices increasingly prominent in modern life, it has never been more important to understand the tools available to evaluate reliability. Reliability Prediction for Microelectronics meets this need with a cluster of tools built around principles of reliability physics and the concept of remaining useful life (RUL). It takes as its core subject the 'physics of failure', combining a thorough understanding of conventional approaches to reliability evaluation with a keen knowledge of their blind spots. It equips engineers and researchers with the capacity to overcome decades of errant reliability physics and place their work on a sound engineering footing. Reliability Prediction for Microelectronics readers will also find: * Focus on the tools required to perform reliability assessments in real operating conditions * Detailed discussion of topics including failure foundation, reliability testing, acceleration factor calculation, and more * New multi-physics of failure on DSM technologies, including TDDB, EM, HCI, and BTI Reliability Prediction for Microelectronics is ideal for reliability and quality engineers, design engineers, and advanced engineering students looking to understand this crucial area of product design and testing.

3. Industrial Control Systems

   INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS This volume serves as a comprehensive guide in the journey of industrial control systems with a multidisciplinary approach to the key engineering problems in the 21st century. The journey of the control system may be viewed from the control of steam engines to spacecraft, aeroplane missile control systems to networked control systems and cybersecurity controls. In terms of industrial control and application, the journey starts from the design of P-I-D controllers to fuzzy controllers, neuro-fuzzy controllers, backstepping controllers, sliding mode controllers, and event-triggered controls for networked control systems. Recently, control theory has spread its golden feathers in different fields of engineering by use of the splendid tool of the control system. In this era, the boom of the Internet of Things is at its maximum pace. Different biomedical applications also come under this umbrella and provide the easiest way to continuous monitoring. One of the prominent research areas of green energy and sustainable development in which control plays a vital role is load frequency controllers, control of solar thermal plants, an event-driven building energy management system, speed-sensorless voltage and frequency control in autonomous DFIG-based wind energy, Hazardous Energy Control Programs, and many more. This exciting new volume: * Offers a complete journey through industrial control systems * Is written for multidisciplinary students and veteran engineers alike * Benefits researchers from diverse disciplines with real-world applications [336 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...

   
   
   
4. Microgrids for Commercial Systems

   The microgrid is defined as Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and interconnected loads with clearly defined electrical boundaries that act as a single controllable entity concerning the grid as per IEEE standard 2030.7-2017. It provides an uninterrupted power supply to end-user loads with high reliability. Commercial systems like IT/ITES, shopping complexes, malls, the banking sector, hospitals, etc., need an uninterrupted input power supply with high reliability. Microgrids are more suitable for commercial systems to service their clients with no service discontinuity. The microgrid enables both connection and disconnection from the grid. That is, the microgrid can operate both in grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. The microgrid controller plays an important role in microgrid systems. It shall have an energy management system and real-time control functions that operate in the following conditions: both grid-connected and islanded modes of operation, automatic transfer from grid-connected mode to islanding mode, reconnection and re-synchronization from islanded mode to grid-connected mode, optimization of both real and reactive power generation and consumption by the energy management system, grid support, ancillary services, etc. Whenever a microgrid is in islanded mode, it will work as an autonomous system without a distribution grid power supply. In this mode of operation, fault in the transmission or distribution grid will not propagate into the microgrid. Whenever a microgrid operates in grid-connected mode, power flows bi-directionally between the distribution grid and microgrid at the point of interconnection. Hence, microgrids ensure the interrupted power supply to the end-user loads with high reliability. This book aims to bring together the design, installation, operation, and new research that has been carried out in the field of microgrid applications for commercial power systems.
