Chapter 2

Storage and Usage of Energy (pages 10-31)

A necessity to store energy in purpose to use it later in time arises in different occasions. For example, in uninterruptible power supplies systems examined in Chapter 10, stored energy is required when a drop off of the electrical...

Chapter 8

Conversion of Electrical Energy in the Processes of Its Generation and Transmission (pages 208-230)

Electrical energy can be obtained by burning coal (thermal power plant), by using nuclear fuel (nuclear power plant) or by using the power of water (hydro power plant). In these cases, the energy obtained by the sources put a shaft...

Chapter 9

Conversion of Electrical Power from Renewable Energy Sources (pages 231-247)

Towards the end of the previous century, the humanity understood very clearly two facts – first, the World supplies of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas, uranium) are limited, and, second, industrial development and classical generation...

PDF HTML

Chapter 10

Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems (pages 248-269)

Recently, there has been a sharp increase in a number of so-called critical equipment of electrical power. Both separated units and complex objects, whose normal operation is strongly influenced by the parameters of electrical power...
