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.

Non-Thermal Processing Technologies for the Meat, Fish, and Poultry Industries
Processed products obtained from meat, fish, and poultry play a predominant role ascribed to their nutritional profile and sensory characteristics. Usually, these products are highly perishable, and, therefore, the food industry used traditional thermal methods of heat processing in order to extend the stability of the product to the greatest extent. But this traditional method has several disadvantages including undesirable changes in organoleptic characteristics, denaturation of the good quality of animal proteins, and degradation of several nutritional components.Non-Thermal Processing Technologies for the Meat, Fish, and Poultry Industries addresses stability enhancement of meat-, fish-, and poultry-processed products by implementing a non-thermal approach. Currently, there are several innovative non-thermal processing techniques available that can be adopted for enhancing the safety quality of these foods. This book presents the various non-thermal processing techniques that can be successfully applied to this processing industry, including high-pressure processing, ultrasound, irradiation, and pulse electric fields. It explains how these processes can signifantly minimize quality changes without posing any threat to the consumer. These techniques can be replaced for traditional thermal processing techniques viz. roasting, frying, boiling, and grilling.This book benefits food scientists, food process engineers, academicians, students, and food industrial professionals by providing in-depth knowledge of non-thermal processing of foods for meat, fish, and poultry product quality retention as well as for efficient consumer acceptability. The text contains current and emerging trends in the use of non-thermal processing techniques for its application in these industries.
