The Circular Bioeconomy in Industry
This book serves as a starting point for readers to understand the concepts of the circular economy and bioeconomy and how they can be applied to industrial processes. The notion of having eco-friendly industries is a recent development, with a growing interest in the environmental impact of industrial practices, particularly with regard to resource recovery practices for valuable nutrients and byproducts, which aligns with the circular economy and bioeconomy concepts that aim to establish a "continuous flow of materials." Currently, the focus is on studying the environmental impact and developing strategies to achieve a balance with water ecosystems for sustainable and equitable coexistence. The success of these concepts will depend on a robust framework that evaluates the environmental trade-offs and co-benefits of improving industry practices to enhance ecosystem protection. This book introduces circular economy practices in industry, along with tips, procedures, recommendations, and lessons learned.
Autonomous Navigation for Multirotor UAVs (Quadcopter Drone)
Multirotor aerial vehicles are commonly used today, with applications ranging from product delivery to defense systems. These devices are often a complex interlink of various components and must be controlled manually by an experienced pilot using a radio controlled transmitter; issuing flight commands to the copter. Furthermore, current drone systems do not commercially offer a platform for automatic obstacle avoidance. The concept proposed in this thesis is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system that is capable of travelling a set of way points without any manual guidance. This eliminates the proficiency and the prior training required to control a copter. A ground control station is set up on a laptop or a smartphone in which the various way points for the desired location is set. The copter then travels on its own by obtaining the data from its various on-board sensors and intelligently maneuvering itself through the various paths. The proposed system is also a cost effective method when compared to its commercial counterparts available in the market. The quadcopter is also capable of tracking a single object using an on-board camera system.

Control and Protection of 100% Inverter-Based Power Systems
In this Open-Access book, voltage source converters (VSCs) as key components of sustainable energy systems based on wind power plants, photovoltaic power plants, battery energy systems, electric vehicles and heat pumps are investigated. In the future, 100% inverter-based power systems (IBPS) will arise. Protective systems against grid faults are a substantial part of electrical grids. They prevent danger to living beings and damage to technical equipment caused by grid faults. The control algorithms of VSCs and protection algorithms must collaborate in future grids. Otherwise, the reliability of energy supply is at risk. Today, control and protection are often regarded independently of each other. In this book, they are investigated mutually. The resilience of the system against grid faults is increased by using flexibility options of VSCs. A universal protection algorithm, which does not restrict these flexibility options, is developed. In this book, post-fault characteristics of VSCs, neutral point treatment and resonant grounding via VSCs and a model-based protection algorithm are presented. The sustainable and reliable energy supply is an essential cornerstone of human societies. This book is pointing out a holistic approach for the control and protection of 100% IBPS contributes along this way.
