Analysis and Modelling of Water Supply and Demand Under Climate Change, Land Use Transformation and Socio-Economic Development: The Water Resource Challenge and Adaptation Measures for Urumqi Region, Northwest China (Springer Theses)
by Katharina FrickeLocated in a narrow grassland corridor between the semi-desert and a mountain range in Northwest China, the research area Urumqi Region is despite its semi-arid climate in a relatively favourable hydrological situation. The nearby mountains provide water for settlements and agriculture, making human development possible in the first place. Due to the development of agriculture, population and economy during the last sixty years and the increasing water consumption, a demand- and population-driven water scarcity exists today and is expected to aggravate. At the same time, the effects of climate change and land use transformations on the hydrological system and the water availability are uncertain. This study evaluates the recent and future situation by combining a hydrological water balance model for the simulation of the water supply based on scenarios of climate and land use change with a socio-economic model for projecting the future water demand including predicted growth of population and economy.

Analysis and Suppression of Low-Frequency Oscillation Between EMUs and Traction Networks in High-speed Railways (Advances in High-speed Rail Technology)
by Zhigang Liu Siqi Wu Xiangyu MengThis book focuses on the low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks in high-speed Railways. As the power source of high-speed trains, the traction network's power performance directly affects the safe and stable operation of the train. However, the low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks will fluctuate voltage or current, resulting in poor power quality, electrical device failure, and even interruption of traction power. Therefore, it is important to reveal the mechanism of low-frequency oscillation and propose suppression strategies. This book systematically shows the newest research results of analysis and suppression of low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks in high-speed railways, especially in the modeling methods of vehicle-grid systems and suppression strategies for low-frequency oscillation. These methods or strategies can provide important references and help for researchers, scholars, and engineers on traction power technology in high-speed railways. The main contents include the overview of low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks, the introduction of main modeling methods for vehicle-grid systems, especially single-phase rectifiers, the line-side converter control algorithms in vehicles for the suppression of low-frequency oscillation, the traction substation power compensation strategies for the suppression of low-frequency oscillation, etc.

Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems
by Yuanqing Xia Magdi S. MahmoudIn recent years, control systems have become more sophisticated in order to meet increased performance and safety requirements for modern technological systems. Engineers are becoming more aware that conventional feedback control design for a complex system may result in unsatisfactory performance, or even instability, in the event of malfunctions in actuators, sensors or other system components. In order to circumvent such weaknesses, new approaches to control system design have emerged which can tolerate component malfunctions while maintaining acceptable stability and performance. These types of control systems are often known as fault-tolerant control systems (FTCS). More precisely, FTCS are control systems which possess the ability to accommodate component failure automatically.Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems comprehensively covers the analysis and synthesis methods of fault tolerant control systems. It unifies the methods for developing controllers and filters for a wide class of dynamical systems and reports on the recent technical advances in design methodologies. MATLAB® is used throughout the book, to demonstrate methods of analysis and design.Key features:* Provides advanced theoretical methods and typical practical applications* Provides access to a spectrum of control design methods applied to industrial systems* Includes case studies and illustrative examples* Contains end-of-chapter problemsAnalysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners working in this area, and is also a valuable source of information for graduates and senior undergraduates in control, mechanical, aerospace, electrical and mechatronics engineering departments.
Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approach (Automation and Control Engineering)
by Gang FengFuzzy logic control (FLC) has proven to be a popular control methodology for many complex systems in industry, and is often used with great success as an alternative to conventional control techniques. However, because it is fundamentally model free, conventional FLC suffers from a lack of tools for systematic stability analysis and controller design. To address this problem, many model-based fuzzy control approaches have been developed, with the fuzzy dynamic model or the Takagi and Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model-based approaches receiving the greatest attention. Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approach offers a unique reference devoted to the systematic analysis and synthesis of model-based fuzzy control systems. After giving a brief review of the varieties of FLC, including the T–S fuzzy model-based control, it fully explains the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems. This enables the book to be self-contained and provides a basis for later chapters, which cover: T–S fuzzy modeling and identification via nonlinear models or data Stability analysis of T–S fuzzy systems Stabilization controller synthesis as well as robust H∞ and observer and output feedback controller synthesis Robust controller synthesis of uncertain T–S fuzzy systems Time-delay T–S fuzzy systems Fuzzy model predictive control Robust fuzzy filtering Adaptive control of T–S fuzzy systems A reference for scientists and engineers in systems and control, the book also serves the needs of graduate students exploring fuzzy logic control. It readily demonstrates that conventional control technology and fuzzy logic control can be elegantly combined and further developed so that disadvantages of conventional FLC can be avoided and the horizon of conventional control technology greatly extended. Many chapters feature application simulation examples and practical numerical examples based on MATLAB®.
