This book provides a systematic introduction to power system sub/super-synchronous oscillations caused by grid-connected wind power generation. The authors look at why oscillations occur and present methods for examining the risk of oscillations. Coverage includes state-space model based analysis and impedance model based analysis, which are the two main methods for examining the power system sub/super-synchronous oscillations. In addition, new methods for examining oscillations in wind fa...

This book presents the research and development results on power systems oscillations in three categories of analytical methods. First is damping torque analysis which was proposed in 1960’s, further developed between 1980-1990, and widely used in industry. Second is modal analysis which developed between the 1980’s and 1990’s as the most powerful method. Finally the linearized equal-area criterion analysis that is proposed and developed recently. The book covers three main types of contro...

This book reviews and examines how power system low-frequency power oscillations and sub-synchronous oscillations may be affected by grid connection of wind power generation. Grid connection of wind power generation affects the power system small-signal stability and has been one of the most actively pursued research subjects in power systems and power electronics engineering in the last ten years. This book is the first of its kind to cover the impact of wind power generation on power sys...

This book develops a modeling framework to analyze the problem of inventory management with alternative delivery times. The general context considered here is that a seller replenishes its inventory in fixed intervals and, between replenishments, allocates the limited inventory to satisfy customers who are both price and delivery-time sensitive. On the demand side, customers have heterogeneous delivery-time requirements and choose either spot or late delivery. This theoretical modeling cap...

Throughout the long-term evolution of global capital markets, stock markets, and crypto-asset markets have historically operated as two parallel systems: the former is built upon over a century of institutional accumulation and vast institutional networks, while the latter has thrived within the technological framework of blockchain. Today, with the ongoing implementation and application of new models—such as the tokenization of real world assets (RWAs), stablecoins, crypto-asset ETFs, and...

This book strives to comprehensively explain Web 3.0 and tokenization technologies from theory to practice, from concepts to cases, and from opportunities to challenges. Chapter 1 systematically introduces the definition and characteristics of Web 3.0, as well as its impact on traditional investment and financing models, helping readers quickly establish a basic understanding of Web 3.0. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 serve as the theoretical foundation, delving into the blockchain technology princi...

This book represents a pioneering contribution to the study of municipal solid waste and the policies that can mitigate its negative impact on both the environment and the economy. It is structured around a comprehensive exploration of municipal waste with focus on food waste and plastic waste in China and the United States, the two largest economies and the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. By drawing a comparative analysis and case studies from businesses and non-governme...
