Dynamic Wireless Charging of Electric Vechile with Metering System
As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road continues to grow, there is an increasing need for efficient and convenient ways to charge them. One promising solution is wireless power transfer (WPT), which would allow EVs to charge while they are in motion. WPT technology is still in its early stages, but there is potential for it to be used for charging EVs in the future. This would eliminate the need for electric vehicles to stop and plug into a charging station and could enable electric vehicles to travel long distances without the need to stop for a recharge. This method is also called Dynamic Charging of EVs. The receiving supply will be given to the vehicles battery and control system. But we can measure the power consumption at each interval of time. This problem will be solved by installing a metering system in the EV. A metering system records the energy usage during charging sessions. It allows customers to monitor their usage on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.
Sensors
Sensors are the unsung heroes of our modern world, quietly and diligently converting real-world phenomena into data we can understand and utilize. They act as our extended senses, perceiving changes in temperature, pressure, light, motion, and countless other variables. Sensors are constantly at work, gathering information that informs decisions, automates processes, and enhances our understanding of the environment around us. Their development and refinement continue to drive innovation across numerous fields, paving the way for smarter, more efficient, and increasingly interconnected systems.
Nonlinear Distortion in Modern Communication Systems
Nonlinear distortion is a major challenge in modern communication systems, appearing as harmonic distortion, gain compression, intermodulation, and adjacent channel interference. OFDM, widely used for its high data rates and robustness, suffers from a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), pushing power amplifiers into nonlinear operation. This research includes mathematical modeling and MATLAB simulations of OFDM transceivers using QPSK and QAM with varying subcarriers. Results show that 4-QAM has 1 dB higher PAPR than QPSK. Linearization of Class B solid-state power amplifiers via feedback, feedforward, and digital predistortion (DPD) was studied, with DPD offering the best performance-0 dBm amplitude reduction and 20 dB ACPR suppression at 10 MHz. To reduce PAPR, techniques like clipping and filtering, SLM, PTS, and SC-FDMA were analyzed. IFDMA achieved the lowest PAPR of 0.4 dB, followed by SLM (4.4 dB), PTS (4.3 dB), and clipping/filtering (1.9 dB). While IFDMA yields excellent results with slight complexity, clipping/filtering is simple but affects spectral purity and BER.
The Digital Shift
This book explores how the rise of e-Government is transforming public sector organizations across developing countries. It highlights the shift from traditional, paper-based bureaucracies to more agile, transparent, and efficient digital systems. Drawing on real-world examples and case studies, the book demonstrates how governments are using digital tools to improve service delivery, increase citizen engagement, and promote accountability-even in the face of limited infrastructure and technological barriers.Beyond the technology, the book delves into the cultural and institutional shifts required to sustain digital transformation. It examines challenges such as resistance to change, skills gaps, and infrastructure limitations, while showcasing innovative responses from reform-minded leaders and organisations. The Digital Shift ultimately presents a compelling case for digital governance as a catalyst for inclusive development, offering valuable insights for public sector leaders, policy-makers, and development practitioners working to modernize governance in developing countries.
Photovoltaic Technology Trends Shaping the Future
Photovoltaics are an established, though underutilized, method for electricity generation. High costs and low conversion efficiencies have been the major bottlenecks in the development of the solar power to become a primary source of energy. Inorganic semi-conductor solar cells are well developed and are being deployed worldwide; however, the high cost of their manufacture ultimately limits their widespread acceptance as a source of renewable energy. The high cost of PV is largely due to the fact that most current fabrication technology cannot easily be implemented in a high throughput or roll-to-roll fashion. As a result, the through-put from a manufacturing facility is relatively low, and thus the cost per unit produced is high. Presently, the efficiency of Si-based cell has reached 24% but the current cost is still around $4/W. This relatively high cost is mainly due to the sophisticated and expensive production routes. It is estimated that in the near future the costs can go down to 1-1.5$/W, which is still considerably higher than the target cost of 0.33$/W.
Data Transmission in Digital Video Broadcasting Systems
This book deals with the broadcasting of both global and local content in terrestrial television systems. Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a widely adopted standard for terrestrial television transmission, delivering both global and local content. While global content is network-wide, local content is region-specific and typically requires additional spectrum when transmitted using separate frequencies. To enhance spectral efficiency and cost-effectiveness, hierarchical modulation within a Single Frequency Network (SFN) enables both content types to be embedded into a single constellation and transmitted simultaneously. Additionally, a Selected Subcarrier (SS) technique is proposed where only a subset of orthogonal carriers transmits local content, avoiding interference with global content while allowing flexible regional broadcasting. Collectively, these innovations offer a robust, spectrally efficient solution for advanced DVB systems, enabling improved coverage and adaptability for both local and global content delivery.

PV Inverter Products Manufacturing and Design Improvements for Cost Reduction and Performance Enhancements
The specific objectives of this subcontracted development work by Xantrex Technology Inc. were to: 1) Capture the newest digital signal processor (DSP) technology to create high-impact, "next generation" power conversion equipment for the PV industry; 2) Create a common resource base for three PV product lines. This standardized approach to both hardware and software control platforms will provide significant market advantage over foreign competition; 3) Achieve cost reductions through increased volume of common components, reduced assembly labor, and the higher efficiency of producing more products with fewer design, manufacturing, and production test variations; 4) Increase PV inverter product reliability. Reduce inverter size, weight and conversion losses. The contract goals were to achieve an overall cost reduction of 10% to 20% for the three inverters and with no compromise in performance. The cost of the 10-kW inverter was reduced by 56%, and the cost of the 25-kW inverter was reduced by 53%. The 2.5-kW inverter has no basis for comparison, but should benefit equally from this design approach. Not only were the contract cost reduction goals exceeded by a wide margin, but the performance and reliability of the products were also enhanced. The conversion efficiency improvement, as reflected in the 50% conversion loss reduction, adds significant value in renewable energy applications. The size and weight reductions also add value by providing less cumbersome product solutions for system designers.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Economics of Renewable Energy
Renewable energy (RE) technologies' market is on the rise, and the world is witnessing a new energy transition with many factors and drivers pushing it. To properly understand this phenomenon, it is vital to apprehend the correlation between the development of economies and the different energy transitions through history. It is also important to understand the rationale behind the current transition to renewables and their economy; this book presents and discusses both points. The histories of energy transitions, development of economies and industrial civilizations, all go hand in hand. Going back in time, people only needed to cover their basic needs, such as food, which -at the very beginning- was met by using firewood for cooking and heating. Further in time, people star-ted practicing agriculture in the first formed human communities, essentially depending on the sun for that practice, in combination with biomass. As economies evolved and developed into complex forms, firewood and other biomass were no longer able to meet the increasing demand in energy. So, people started turning into hydropower, then to coal during the 19th century.
Principals of Digital Communication Systems
Communication has been one of the deepest needs of the human race throughout recorded history. It is essential to forming social unions, to educating the young, and to expressing a myriad of emotions and needs. Good communication is central to a civilized society. The various communication disciplines in engineering have the purpose of providing technological aids to human communication. One could view the smoke signals and drum rolls of primitive societies as being technological aids to communication, but communication technology as we view it today became important with telegraphy, then telephony, then video, then computer communication, and today the amazing mixture of all of these in inexpensive, small portable devices. Initially these technologies were developed as separate networks and were viewed as having little in common. As these networks grew, however, the fact that all parts of a given network had to work together, coupled with the fact that different components were developed at different times using different design methodologies, caused an increased focus on the underlying principles and architectural understanding required for continued system evolution.
