Power Quality Infrastructures and Control


Free Download Power Quality: Infrastructures and Control by Ashutosh K. Giri, Sabha Raj Arya, Josep M. Guerrero, Shailendra Kumar
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 382 Pages | ISBN : 9811979553 | 111.1 MB
This book presents novel idea and concepts developed by the researchers/academia and practicing engineers working in the domain of the power sector infrastructures where power electronics infrastructures are used for improving the system reliability and efficiency in on-grid and off-grid systems. The infrastructures of distributed power generation based on wind, solar, hydro and many other renewable energy sources have increased manifold since last decade due to availability of efficient power converters and small rating generators. The application of power electronics switching devices has made job much easier to make such system infrastructures more reliable and controllable. The power quality (PQ) issues in infrastructures of distributed power generation system are a major concern for customers. The custom power devices such as voltage source converter are used to mitigate the PQ and other issues such as voltage and frequency control under different loading conditions on the supply system. The operation of these custom power devices or other power converters is dependent on the duty cycles generated by control algorithm. The scope of control algorithm may be varying from model predictive control techniques, machine learning techniques to other artificial intelligence-based techniques. In addition to it, some classical control algorithm and adaptive-type control algorithm may also be used for power converter operation. This book creates awareness among teachers, research students and industry persons about better utilization of infrastructures of distributed power generation system by making it more efficient with the use of power electronics and its control.

Pharmacological Activity-Based Quality Control of Chinese Herbs


Free Download Shao-Ping Li, "Pharmacological Activity-Based Quality Control of Chinese Herbs"
English | ISBN: 1604568232 | 2013 | 468 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Natural products are the most successful source of drugs. Of the 877 small-molecule new chemical entities introduced between 1981 and 2002, roughly half were natural products, semi-synthetic natural product analogues or natural mimics. Chinese herbs (traditional Chinese medicines, TCMs) have been used for prevention and treatment of diseases for thousands years. It has been attracting intensive attention in the trends of back to nature. As herbal medicines, the conditions of growth, harvest time, process and storage etc. will undoubtedly affect the presence and concentration of the bioactive constituents, thus affecting their quality and efficacy. Up to date, there are few books focussing on the relationship, which is the bridge between TCM and modern medical science, of traditional clinic uses, pharmacological activities and quality control of Chinese herbs.Unfortunately, bioactive compounds in Chinese herbs are usually not or only partially known. Actually, the active compounds considered in Chinese herbs may be different according to their clinical indication. In addition, it is considered that the curative effect of Chinese herbs is an integrative result of a number of bioactive compounds. Therefore, how to control the quality is a big problem. We would like to discuss the quality control based on their traditional clinical uses and pharmacological activities in this book, which is the fundamental step towards developing and modernising such products into evidence based medicines. It will also help the peoples to understand TCMs in modern scientific angles. This book is designed primarily as a textbook for or adjunct to course in herbal remedies, food safety or quality control of herbs. It is also a professional reference whom is in the area of drug discovery, pharmaceutical analysis and food chemistry.

Biological Outlook to Improve the Nutritive Quality of Bakery Products


Free Download Biological Outlook to Improve the Nutritive Quality of Bakery Products
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981978560X | 379 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 11 MB
This book aims to bring the focus on biological viewpoint and alternatives for producing the baked goods, as the confectionary is a major market segment comprising of the sugar and baked products. The bakery products include major segments including cereals, bread, chocolates, cookies, and other confectionary items. This book provides the data regarding the market of baked goods, as it is forecasted to increase at growth rate of 5.8% (CAGR) and it’s expected to reach around its growth around (7%) by 2025 (Fortune insights 2022). The book also classifies amongst the major consumers worldwide, Asia pacific contributes around 43%, western Europe contributes around 22% while Africa continent represents as smallest group of consumers for baked confectionary consumers. The book provides information regarding health concerns as baked goods are liked by population of all ages. As per the data mentioned above the bakery goods are consumed heavily without clear insights about its health concerns. Majority of baked goods are made up of all-purpose flour having serious risk concerns/impact on health and higher consumption of bakery goods can increase sugar, cholesterol level and can also cause further problem in liver or heart functions. Although, gluten free, multigrain baked confectionaries are now a day’s available in the market but the still the better understanding of the bio-based products is need of current time. The biological viewpoint especially for the bakery goods can serve as initial point for better handling baked goods in context of upbringing of healthy society. The book targets students and researchers interested in interdisciplinary research and devising novel biological applications with special focus on bakery products.
